Where I wore it: On a birthday date to the Natural History Museum
Sunday was my birthday. I'm 29, which is wild. I used to get pretty uncomfortable about people making a big deal about my birthday, but well, I got over it. Bring on the cake and gifts. On Sunday, Chris and I put our Carnegie Museums membership to use and spent the day wandering through the hall of gems and admiring some dramatic taxidermy scenes (a lion attacking a camel? bring it on.) at the Natural History Museum. I wore this dress, which I picked up on a Saturday sale-shopping date with myself. It's pretty much the perfect weekend dress because it feels like pajamas.
I must have looked pretty good too, because a little girl goosed me as I walked through the dinosaur exhibit.

Happy Belated birthday! (we're both January babies) ...such a steal for the Free People items!
Happy late Birthday Julie! I once told my mum it sucked to get older, and her reply was, "Well, what's the alternative?" Chilled-out, no-pressure birthdays are the best. And you look beautiful, that dress was made for you!

Happy birthday Julie! I'm glad to hear you had such a great day!
I'm a little weird about birthdays too - I've been trying to get over it the last couple of years though because it really is silly lol

Love the cut on your dress - very flattering!
LOL you crack me up!
Happy belated birthday!! Your birthday dress is gorgeous - I love the pairing of a rose dress with cranberry tights. Very pretty. I'm also painfully jealous of your beautiful snow. Looking at your lovely pictures added a little happiness to my day - thank you!
Happy belated b-day! You look very lovely in that soft pink color. I think a museum trip sounds like a perfect birthday to me.
Love your jacket!!

That dress is quite pretty without being cute, a difficult feat, especially in a pink hue.

Happy belated birthday!

Happy Belated Birthday! 29 has been a strange year for me, but it's almost half over, so I'm trying to go with it! That outfit looks super comfy, by the way!
