I’m one of those people who loves their birthday. To me it’s the beginning of a new chapter, a new start, a reason to celebrate with friends, and a reason to get all dressed up. This year I’m turning 24 and I am going to be spending my birthday in New York City with my friends and family. My birthday itinerary is filled with plans like high tea in the east village with my sisters and mother who flew in for the weekend; along with a fun dinner planned with my friends in the meatpacking district followed by dancing the night away in Brooklyn, going to a broadway show, and ending the weekend taking my mom and sisters to my favorite piano bar in the city, The Nines.
So now that I’ve planned the perfect New York City weekend, I need the perfect outfits to wear. This year I wanted to wear a fun party dress for when I celebrate with my friends, I always think your birthday is the perfect opportunity to wear something fun and a little over the top that you normally wouldn’t, I mean it only comes once a year. For tea I wanted to go for a prep school vibe with this argyle Marni sweater and Tigermist pleated skirt with knee high boots, and I’m thinking of a sweater dress for the broadway show.
Keep scrolling to see which items I’ll be wearing on my birthday weekend along with other items that just almost made the cut.
