22 much fun!!

“I don’t know about you, but I’m feelin 22” Yes I will sing this everyday I am 22 and no I am not ashamed. There was nothing exciting about the age 22 until Taylor Swift came along and made a song about it which is yet another reason I love her so much(sorry to all you taylor haters, but she is my spirit animal). Anyway, yesterday was my 22nd birthday if you can’t already tell, thanks mom & dad, ya did good. Yesterday was also the first day of fall and the 11th anniversary of One Tree Hill so you are all welcome! My day started out not so great because I had to spend majority of my birthday in class….yeah no fun. I did however manage to find time before school to treat myself to coffee, a donut AND chikfila chicken minis because calories don’t count on your birthday, right? Anyway, school dragged on and then I celebrated accordingly by going to TjMaxx and Old Navy of course. Afterwards, I got to celebrate my big day by going to downtown Fort Worth with my family and my best friend, Taylor who goes to TCU! We stopped at Kendra Scott on the way because you get half off on your birthday!!! So yeah there was no way I was missing that. I bought the turquoise Skylar earrings and put them on right after I stepped foot outside! Then we headed to Chuy’s for dinner because Mexican food is my comfort food and their margaritas are THE best! My day ended with watching the newest New Girl episode and having a Skype date with Patrick!

As far as what I wore, I decided to keep it classy & sassy. I wanted it to be simple so when I found this black jumpsuit at Target, I knew it would be making an appearance on my birthday. I literally wore my birthday (jump)suit…get it. Well now that I made myself laugh, I’ll move on. Back to my outfit, I added some of my favorite jewelry, like this gold chain necklace from World Market that stands out great against black and makes a loud statement. As far as my earrings, I actually wore two different earrings last night, first I wore my earrings from Charming Charlie that are gold and silver and went great with my necklace. But after visiting Kendra Scott, I switched into my new turquoise Skylar earrings! My new purse also made an appearance because I seriously can’t get enough of it! I found it at Charming Charlie’s this past weekend and I fell in love. It is a wine red and it is going to be my number one purse for the fall/winter this year. I love the color & style and the interior is striped so can it get any better? I’ve started to move away from cross body bags recently because of my new found love for totes. They are a fun, chic addition to any outfit and also hold ALL my crap I accumulate throughout the day. They are totes amazing.

My birthday was everything I thought it would be and more and the only part missing was my boyfriend who is 5 hours away, yay long distance relationships. But anyway, I love everything my family and friends did to make it special. My sister got me tickets to see one of my favorite singers, Phillip Phillips, TONIGHT and my parents got me my first pair of Kendra Scott earrings AND the herringbone vest from JCrew that I have had my eye on for over a year now! While the gifts were great, I just loved being able to spend today with my family and friends and I really am blessed with the 22 years I have had in this world and look forward to what is to come as I continue getting older(and older and older, wow aging sucks). Well that’s all for now, I hope everyone has a great weekend, I’ll be headed to San Antonio, TX for a birthday getaway with my best friends to visit my boyfriend! Check back next week for a new post! XOXO-J
