It's my birthday today! Hooray! :) In honor of the occasion, I pulled out my red tights. Apparently the sun also decided to pull out his shine for me, like a big, bright spotlight on my day. So these photos are a little wacky, but I'm not going to stress about it because I'm not allowed to stress out on my birthday. I have no idea what I'll be doing this evening, because my fellow has kept it quite secret, but I'm excited! I have no doubt that it will be tons of fun :) This weekend is going to be packed full of all the very best people in my life. I'm so grateful to have such wonderful friends and family, it makes it easier to know I won't be growing old alone ;)

Last year I made up a big long list of things I wanted to accomplish when I was 25, and... well, let's just say I'm not even going to update you on my progress because it's pretty embarrassing how badly I failed to deliver. So this time around I'm going to try to be a little more realistic (and a little more specific). Wish me luck!

ReplyDeleteAnyways, happy birthday! You look beautiful for your special day. Enjoy the sunshine.
Also, if someone swoops in and steals those cute bows out of your hair, it was probably me.
happy birthday girl! you look great
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Caitlin! Enjoy your weekend, and good luck on your goals (and just remember, if you do even half of them, that's a major success).
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm coming to the Montreal blogger meetup! :D
Have a lovely day once again!

Happy birthday honey! Love your red tights, I hope that you ate Ice Cream for breakfast becuase that is only acceptable one day of the year. Your birthday.
ReplyDeleteAlso, your hair in these photos is EPIC. Hope you have a blast this evening with your friends.
Happy Birthday! You're only a couple of weeks older than me. I like your list of goals, very good idea.(that I may have to borrow) I think you will manage lots of them. I agree with Kallie, I would read anything you wrote as well. Plus you look lovely, the beehive and the tights, very 60s.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, dear and I absolutely love your birthday outfit.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I love your retro outfit and hair! And wow, your list is very long, which I relate to cause I'm always pushing myself too hard! Happy birthday and I hope it's a wonderful year for you :). XOXO, www.NatalyasCloset.com
ReplyDeleteHey, happy birthday! Great list, great tights, great googly moogly.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! My birthday is one Tuesday. I hope you had a wonderful one.
ReplyDeleteI adore the red tights and they go perfectly with your dress. Oh my gosh. Quitting biting your nails is so difficult. YOU CAN DO IT!
Happy birthday, dear! You looked lovely today :)
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful. Those red tights say I'm ready to party! Have a great birthday and best of luck with all your goals for the coming year (ps you really should see a dentist, putting that off just makes things worse. I went for the first time in years and have about four fillings, not fun)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday!
ReplyDeleteoh happy birthday, u look gorgeous in that dress! i adore the whole look! oh and good luck with your list... I think its a great idea and I think that once you set your mind in to it, u are going to accomplish all your goals! =)
ReplyDeleteCome to Boston! We'll get #7 right out of the way for you. ;)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday, old friend.
Happy birthday! I like "read all major religious texts" I would include some world mythologies in there, and don't forget various Native American belief systems! They're really interesting. I also like the road trip and dress making goals. I think I'll add those three to my goal sheet for my next b-day: 18 in Feb! Love your red tights, I need to get some of those...
ReplyDeleteI know I'm so behind on reading blogs, but happy belated birthday! You and these photos look gorgeous! I also like your ambitious goals =)
ReplyDeleteI'm also 26, and it has been my favorite year yet! I too made a to do list, go for it, all of it. best of luck!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Sorry I didn't get to say it on your actual birthday, though! You look great. I love the combination of color in this outfit. Your hair looks super cute too. I hope the birthday went splendidly!
