So long twenties–hello thirty!
Today is my 30th birthday, and it’s pretty much been a month-long celebration! Most recently G took me out for a celebratory birthday dinner, and my girlfriend Jamie and her husband Terry came from out of town to join us. Since I knew I wouldn’t wind up sloppy drunk or dancing on a bar top, I decided it was the perfect time to get a little daring with my birthday outfit!
Skirt/Dress: New York & Company
T-strap stilettos: Nine West
Pregnancy: 24 weeks

This mini-dress is actually a skirt pulled up and worn as a dress–a look I had fun with earlier this summer, so I thought I’d try it out again. The fullness of the skirt allowed plenty of room for my baby bump, making it a perfect pregnancy dress! It’s also the shortest thing I’ve ever worn–but hey, if you can’t get a little sassy for your 30th birthday, when can you?
My friend Jamie looked fabulous as always, so I decided she needed to get in on the fashion show action. She paired a fitted graphic tee with a sleek pencil skirt–love it!
Shirt: Forever 21
Skirt: Old Navy

The boys were more interested in watching football than in making a fashion post in my blog, but they both looked pretty fabulous as well. It was a great night out and a great way to ring in my 30th year!

Hey D! This is awesome- the first in blog land to wish you a Happy Birthday!! Love your outfit. Your sense of style thus far has been amazing! It’s nice to see that you don’t have to look frumpy for an entire 9 months out of your life
Can’t wait to see what your plans are for your nursery!!

Welcome to your dirty thrities!
I was inspired by your blog to wear a skirt-turned-dress too!

I like the skirt as a dress idea, but I think it would look less obvious that it’s a skirt if you’d taken pictures with some accessories (I’ve seen you accessorize before so I know you didn’t leave the house “bare”) LOL
Happy Birthday! I have to admit I think Sept 23rd has by far the best birthdays – I’m kinda partial though it’s mine too.
I like the skirt to dress idea – It looks great.
Happy Birthday D! And you look fabulous at 30! Rock that baby bump proud mama!!!
Happy Birthday D!! Hope you have a great one! You look amazing and your lil’ black dress/skirt is such a neat idea…I think you look fantastic!

look at you! all pregnant and running 400 miles and converting skirts into minidresses! freaking amazing. that’s how i intend be when i hit 30 in 3 years. and i recently realized that i have the same duvet covers as you for both my master and guest beds (though reversed, and my paisley is pink), so things look promising. keep it up, girl! happy birthday
Happy Birthday!!! Much love to you and your adorable baby bump!!!
First, Happy Birthday…
Second… OUWWWW OUWWWWWWWW!!!! That’s a hot mama (milf) type outfit… damn girl!
Hope you had a great weekend and great time celebrating…

Happy Birthday. Welcome to the exclusive club! No one under 30 allowed! LOL
Happy Birthday mama! And you look HAWT that dress.
“The boys were more interested in watching football than in making a fashion post in my blog”
Should have been:
“The boys were more interested in watching totally freaking hot chicks on their arm thank in making a fashion post in my blog”
Wowza, you are both beautiful! And Happy Birthday to you!
Happy Day to you! You look amazing. What a year you’ve had and shall have! Congratulations.
