Dress-Karen Millen. Clutch-Forever21. Heels-White House Black Market.
So I am not sure what exact time I was born, but I will go ahead and assume that as of midnight yesterday I am now 20 years old. Yep. Its my birthday today! I turned two decades old in the company of my best friend at Whataburger eating french fries and gravy after our long tax-free weekend shifts at the mall.
Miss Dee gave me a number of things on my birthday list that include a hair dryer, Arrested Development Seasons 1 and 2, Breakfast at Tiffany's, and a pair of pretty turquoise earrings. I am a pretty happy chica. I've actually never watched Breakfast at Tiffany's (which is kind of a shocker I know for a girl) and finally got to see it while doped up on pain-killers from my wisdom teeth removal. I loved the movie. But on those meds, I think I loved everything at that point.
I can't get over Holly Golightly's Givenchy gown. I mean I know that Audrey Hepburn is the LBD icon, but that specific dress is like none I've ever encountered. That Givenchy dress is sleek, well cut, classy, and dramatic. And so I decided to post the outfit closest to it that I have. This Karen Millen dress was given to me by a special someone and I think the shape, color, and cut of straps in the back resemble Miss Golightly's most iconic gown.

Happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteI wish you all the best, especially health and fabulousness.
I agree with you on that Givenchy gown but I have to say it was that much more amazing because the great Audrey Hepburn was wearing it.
