Twelve years ago...

Twelve years ago I bought this slip floral dress, it brings me lots of memories. I had not worn it in...10 years? The last time I wore it was in a Quinceanera, I was pregnant in my first tri-mester so I wasn't showing. This month I'll turn 32 and no, twenty-something-year-olds, a woman is not old at 30, 40, or 50 or any age. =)
I miss wearing my hair down and that's another thing I'm looking forward in the Fall.
Outfit Details:
Slip dress: old
Sweater: thrifted
Vintage collar: estate sale
Vintage Justin Boots: thrifted

Great that you can fit into clothes from 12 years ago!! I like the collar on your sweater. Boots are also really cool! It is my birthday this month too, happy birthday to us :)

Love the boots!

You look so lovely, and your lace collar is quite pretty. I would have never guessed you were in your thirties -- I think age is just as much a state of mind.

Chic on the Cheap

haha,your comment was soo cute.I absolutely know how you felt.I just can't deal with situations like that or flirting.I have never done and will probably never do that!Ahh"!
It's nice how you turn 32 this month,I'll have a birthday this month too!And I wanetd to add that I don't regard people older than 25 as to be old,I just felt that I wouldn't fit in.I rather talk to older people,they have better stories to tell and you can learn so much from them but I still felt uncomfortable with the thought that I would live with them.
Oh,and you mentioned a guy smiling at you:I wanted to ask about your crush.You wrote about him a while ago and you said he smiled at you at church(I think it was the day you wore the red tights).But if this is too private,you surely don't need to answer,hehe.
Have a gorgeous day!
P.S.I love the lace on your shirt very very much and surprisingly,it goes soo well with those cool shoes!

That sweater is really beautiful! I love your words of wisdom regarding age and couldn't agree with you more! Hope your birthday month is a very special one!:)

à la Modest said...

I'm glad you think this way :) I think women just get more and more beautiful as they age. I definitely feel the same way about myself... at least for now! I think that especially since I started dressing modestly, I feel more precious.

You should def wear that skirt more! This outfit is beautiful.

I really like the boots! They look amazingly easy and comfortable! :)

aj said...

So pretty. Awesome job wearing the same thing you wore ten years ago. You are so skinny.

I love this look - a bit quirky but still ladylike! The collar is such a genius addition! I just turned 29 and everyone made such a big deal about it being my last birthday in my 20s... but it really doesn't bother me!
