Outfit Justification: This is my
final week of my 30’s, I’ve opted to wear as many of my flattering black
dresses as I can fit into this week. I’m
going into my fabulous 40’s like a true fashionista, rocking an LBD (Little
Black Dress).
Welcome to 40, The Water Is Just Right:
After a year about me
moaning and complaining, this week has finally come the end of the third decade
of my life. I have gone through all the
stages of grieving with turning 40….and I’ve finally come to the acceptance
stage. In my final week, I’m calm and
content about it.
I’m going into this new
decade armed with a bunch of good things.
First, there’s my healthy and stable romantic relationship, second, a
few really good friends who have really stood by me, third, skills that set me
apart from other people that will only grow to improve in my 40’s, finally self
knowledge and confidence that can only come with maturity. Will all of these things working in my
favor, I don’t have to focus on the things that I don’t have because it doesn’t
matter. The beauty is that I’m still alive and can still continue the pursuit
of those things.
40 represents a new era of
things to come. I believe my future is bright.
And I get to start this decade off with one helluva party. I’m really looking forward to spending a wonderful
evening with my loved ones and celebrating me, the way I love to celebrate: by
wearing a fabulous outfit, singing my heart out and enjoying music. I also look forward to being carded and
getting the response “You’re 40, you look like you’re in your 20’s”.
Farewell 30’s, it’s been
real and interesting. My blue streaks
and I are ready to enter all the fabulousness of 40. And it will be done with true style!
