That's The Difference Between The Sprout And The Bean

 

Dress: Zara

Cardigan: H&M

Wedges: TKMaxx

Saturday, it was my birthday. I turned 20 and had an amazing and surreal celebration with some of my best friends from all over the country. This was the outfit I had planned but weather dictated it not a good idea so I wore tights and a black cardigan and wore a different outfit in the evening. These photos are quite dark but my tripod is finally cooperating with me so that's a good sign for future shoots.

My birthday celebration consisted of picking up my friend from the train station, a BBQ with a few more friends and then off to London to meet everyone else. We were staying in a friend of a friend's flat with a disused pub underneath so we had predrinks in the pub then ventured into the night to go to my favourite bar in Brick Lane, Big Chill. Unfortunately by the time we got there it was packed and impossible to move so we stayed for one drink and then decided to forgo the next plans we had and return to the pub because it was fun just all being together in one place. It was a nice fusion of my best friends from home and my best friends from university and everyone got on famously.

I got these wedges as a birthday present. I've been looking for some for the longest time and these ones and perfection for me. I can't wait to wear them out properly. The dress is difficult because it's strapless but hopefully when the weather is nicer I'll be able to crack it out. It would even look nice with a tshirt underneath to cover some of the skin.

I love the little details on the dress and it made a nice birthday dress even if I only got to wear it for a few hours at the BBQ. My last birthday I spent in New York with the boyfriend. We spent the day in Central Park with a picnic and then in the evening we went to a film screening on a rooftop in Chinatown, after a dinner at Dumpling House. It was amazing but this year was a great one as well.

This is last year on my birthday. Apparently I have a thing for orange floral dresses on my birthdays. Here is the outfit that I wore out in the evening on my birthday. I wore it on the friday night for a family meal and then on my birthday night with oxfords instead of wedges.
