“Nobody likes you when you’re 23“… fortunately I know thats not the case because I just had the loveliest birthday brunch with some of my best friends. Today on this September 24th, I am officially 23 years old. I just had the best weekend hanging out with my twin brother Chris, little brother Johnny and best friend Allison down by the water in Southern Maryland where the twin just moved. Then Allison and I drove home super early Sunday morning for this wonderful potluck brunch. Brunch is absolutely my favorite meal of the day, so it was a no brainer this is how I wanted to celebrate. I’m so lucky to have such amazing friends so close to home. I’m not sure what 23 has in store for me but if it is anything like this weekend, this is going to be a spectacular year.

mimosa bar because what is brunch without bottomless mimosas

my friends could all quite their jobs just to be chefs I swear

I love all these wonderful people with my whole heart

A1s since Day1s (and brownie points to Alison and Amanda for wearing stripes because they know how much I love stripes)

she texted me this morning to let me know she would be 10 minutes late because she volunteered to teach Sunday school and thats the best way I could ever describe Ashley

have you ever seen anyone more fabulous than Kayla and Melissa (answer: no)

not sure where this pose came from but sometimes you just gotta go with the flow

Fun fact: These two just got engaged!!!!! Autumn asked me this morning to be one of her bridesmaids and I couldn’t be more excited for them and their wedding! #YethtotheSeth #nothatsnottheirhashtag

“thank you Linus”
It was such a dreary, rainy day but thankfully I have a sunroom that lets all the light in. I also only surround myself with sunshine-y people so the weather didn’t even matter. I just bought this Abercrombie dress on sale a few weeks ago. I was saving it for another party, but thought it was great for today. I’m also wearing these super comfortable red heels from Target (but I don’t want you to think I normally wear heels around my house because I 100% do not). Links to my outfit are below!
My Taylor Swift year has come to an end. So now the question is…am I in my “Jordan Year” “Lebron Year” or “Blink 182” year? Comment below what you think!
Thanks for reading! xx
PS. Here are a couple pictures from when I was at my twin’s on Saturday. I made the cake Jordan themed because Chris thought it was funny and we all had dinner by the water. I am so thankful that every year I get to share my birthday with this super tall kid and that my brothers are above all my best friends. (They make me look so short)
Now really this time…thanks for reading xx
I love your outfit! I hope you had a great birthday!!
