Hello Thirty!

September 23, 2009 By Dusty Rogers 50 Comments

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!

    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.

    “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!
