I had planned to lose 20 pounds in time for my birthday bash. I lost maybe 2. But I feel (and look!) so much better from eating healthier, drinking less, and working out regularly.
Two weekends ago when my momma visited I forced her into the center of her hell known as the two-story Forever 21. And yes, I know I am turning 30 and still shopping at Forever 21. POINT BEING, I found the dress I had been anxiously searching every corner of the interwebs for. It is a little bit too short and a little bit see-through. Nothing a slip won't fix, or as my little sister kindly suggested, a spanx! Which she kindly suggested more than four times. I get it.
So now I must accessorize THE DRESS. Help me, won't you? I am most stuck on shoes and for some reason I am really stuck on mint/turquoise shoes. It would be most economical to go with the closed toe black suede shoes because I own them. But. BUT this is my party and I need some fancy feet. Which shoes would you choose?
I will also be visiting my hairstylist to get my bangs back and rejoin the ranks of the banged, along with some fun color that is yet to be determined. And because I cannot enter my 30s with these tranny brows, I'm going to visit the Benefit Brow Bar.
And then, and only then, my 30 makeover will be complete! Clearly this 30 thing is going to be fun. Clearly.

1. I know nothing about fashion (I still have't stopped wearing my Christmas pj's to bed) so I am not in any position to help you style that adorable dress, but I think nude heels look good with everything!
ReplyDelete2. COME TO THE BANGS SIDE. IT'S FUN HERE.
3. I am 23 and have never gotten my brows touched. Should I look into that? Actually, nevermind. I use my bangs as an excuse not to pay attention to my brows.
4. Can I come to your birthday party?
I stared and stared at that picture and my eyes just kept going to those close-toed mint green shoes. I don't know why because I really want to like the gold ones the best, haha! So I vote mint. You know you'll wear them again - that color goes with a lot of things!
ReplyDeletePretty dress! I like the mint closed toe the best. That color is in so you'll be able to wear them all year! How fun to get a little makeover before your birthday. Treat Yo Self!
ReplyDeleteWooohooo for turning 30 and then traveling. :) It's a good number!!! Trust me. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the black ones with the straps but the mint green ones are super cute with that dress!
ReplyDeleteYou got this!
ReplyDeleteI like the nude with the pink strap, or the black chunky with gold, and the pointy mint shoes.
Oh and don't forget the spanx. ha ha Little sisters.
I love that you guys are going on vacation together. So exciting! Can't wait to hear all about it.
I love the mint green ones!!
ReplyDeleteOk so I think nude shows are always fun and practical but like everyone above those mint colored heels are gorgeous!! I have been going to Benefit brow bar for the past 3 years... Soo worth it!! And aren't the younger sisters brats! Hillary was making fun of my stomach/pooch last night little stinker... Can't wait to see you old fart ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the turquoise ones. I'm seriously thinking about investing in spanx. I have a pooch that I cannot get rid of for the life of me. Can't wait to hear all about your festivities! You're almost in the old farts club!
ReplyDeleteYou are going to look BANGin! (See what I did there?)
ReplyDeleteI vote gold or mint.
I WANT TO GO TO THE CENTRAL COAST WITH YOU! It's my favorite!

ReplyDeleteOMG!!!! This dress is KILLER!!!!!!! And girl, I am almost 35 and will be shopping in F21 until I am 80!!! I say go with the black or nude....no pink. I cannot wait to see you in this dress!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaha I love it! I choose the blue shoes!! Sounds like you got this 30 thing down!
ReplyDeleteThat dress is totally you. And you can wear ANY heels with that color. I love that I now have to wear heels to be 1/18 as tall as you ;) I'm SOOOO excited to celebrate with you!
ReplyDeleteThanks for linking up!
Ohhhh I like them all! My faves are the black & gold though
ReplyDeleteI just turned 30 & I still shop at Forever 21, so I'm with ya! :)
ReplyDeleteMy boyfriend took me to the central coast (SLO, Morro Bay, Hearst Castle, Paso Robles, etc.) for my 29th birthday, and it was the BEST 2 days ever! I look forward to reading about your trip!
Oh and I would wear green shoes with that dress, gives it a nice pop of color!
loving the outfit girl you are gonna look sexyyy! honestly i love all the shoes but i think the teal/mint green ones would totally make this outfit spectacular!!! cant wait for the picturesssss!
ReplyDeleteNude.. Because it should start a theme for this whole weekend of turning thirty.. Insert big wink here!
ReplyDelete30 eek! Love the dress, love all the shoes. Personally, I would go mint (I just bought some for only $20 or something ridiculous like that at maurices.com) but anything would match that.
ReplyDeleteHow about, whichever ones you can walk in after 30 shots? :)
Ooooh love the dress! Great birthday choice! I say go for some sezzzzy black ones.. it is yo birfday after all!
ReplyDeleteim all for those light minty green heels! of course black is the more reasonable choice, but hell- its your birthday, you need a splash of color!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Aw glad you feel healthier even if you didn't lose all the weight you wanted to. I'm sure you'll look fabulous :)
ReplyDeleteMint shoes, but I want them to look like the nude shoes, so... there's that.
