Nobody feels like an adult, it's the world's dirty little secret

Age is a funny thing. When you are younger you can in to way comprehend what it will be like to be older, and when you are older, you forget what a crazy fool you were when you were younger. In a few more years, I can look back, and most likely think the same thing.

Thank you all for your lovely birthday wishes - I had a very fun weekend filled with all the people I love the most, lots of good food, and great gifts - all the kind for wearing and shopping (the best kind, obviously) and I can't wait to share them!

belated happy birthday to you darling! hope its not too late to greet. it's funny about age alright. when i turned 20, i realized age is nothing really but a number. it doesn't define us at all. hope you had an amazing one!

Happy belated birthday! It's true, you know - whenever I think I've finally got things together, I look back a few years later and find I still definitely didn't have things figured out. I supposed the lesson here is that life is all about learning and that never really ends. I hope you have a wonderful years ahead, and I can't wait to see what you'll be wearing. This outfit is starting things off on a very good note, I must say - those silver pumps and your bracelet are to die for!

I'm so glad you had a good birthday! It's mine today and I'm sort of in shock that another year has gone by this quickly...

Happy Birthday!! Sounds like you had a wonderful time celebrating. I remember when I was much younger and thinking 50 is so close to the grave. Now that I am close to it, it doesn't feel so old any more :)

I totally agree - I still feel like a kid! And I'm 30 years old with a husband! I often wonder if there's something mentally wrong with me, and I'm sure there is but it's nice to know we all have the same feelings about getting older.

You look gorgeous! I want this entire outfit. That bracelet from Rocksbox is on my wishlist, and I'm hoping it's in my second delivery :)

That dress is all kinds of beautiful on you! I skipped over it in the store and you're making me regret it!
