This year has been the year of crazy when it comes to birthdays. It feels like every second week my friends and I are getting together to celebrate a milestone. On Saturday we partied hard for Jess's 21st, which was - gasp! - themed. I love themes, but am terribly lazy at pulling a costume together until The. Last. Possible. Minute. Also I am on a crazy strict budget these days while saving for the wedding and our apartment. So I didn't want to buy anything too pricey. The day before the party I bolted into one of the lower priced chain fashion stores and started grabbing every dress that suited the theme "Burlesque". I was looking for something either burlesque-y (read: sequins) or something 1920s-ish which is what I got from the invitations. Finally I tried on this dress, which was on the clearance rack because the sequins had started to come loose - yay! I also had some 1920s accessories left over from when I was in the musical Singing in the Rain, playing Lina. I had them packed away in a really dusty box, but I was happy that I finally got to wear them again... four years later!Here are some snaps from the party. Thanks Jess for throwing an amazing party, and being an even more amazing friend!
