A Birthday Extravaganza

(kimono: boat house | tank: joe fresh | skirt: h&m | flats: ardene's | necklace: american eagle | bracelets: smart set)

Saturday night involved a multitude of celebrations! Em and Mark hosted their joint birthday, but it also happened to be Mindy's birthday, and me and Mike's anniversary. We all got together for a BBQ and drinks, and played a hilarious drinking game called "What If." T'was a grand old time.

I had some major outfit confusion before going out! I had no time to get ready and sent Mike a bunch of different photos of jumbled outfit photos, which he was not helpful with hahah. I ended up pairing this brand new kimono with a black skirt from H&M that I've had for months and never wore! I was really happy with the outfit I settled on but I can't believe how white my legs look compared to the rest of my body... how sad.

I bought this kimono earlier this week because I was stranded at work in my uniform, and going out with Mike and some of his friends immediately after my shift. I knew Laur already owned it and felt like a poop friend for copying her (for like the 80th time). When I confessed to her that I bought it, she confessed to me that she bought a kimono I already owned a few months ago and just hasn't worn it in front of me! We now own 3 of the same kimonos. It was hilarious, and we should just accept that we have been buying the same clothes since the age of 10 and probably always will.

It was a really fun night! Mike and I also had some lovely anniversary celebrations and gift exhanges. And I finally saw Amanda yesterday for a granola-bar-making date!

But I've been hurting for some time to myself. I've gotten very good at faking cleanliness and a good night's sleep. I keep thinking of ohw glorious it's going to be to be done these two jobs in August and just have some time to like... sit down for a few minutes.

Hope you are all enjoying life and getting the chance to sit down and whatnot!
