Birthday outfits

The agenda: Dinner then a natural wine dive bar with friends

Date and time: A balmy Saturday evening

The vibe: Lowkey, fun, what a Gen Y person thinks a Gen Z person would wear

Hiccups: The plan was to walk from my house to dinner (0.8 mi) then to the bar (0.5 mi). Shoes would need to hold up.

Items in play: Reformation white linen halter top, More to Come bloomer shorts, Paco Rabanne silver bag, Elisabeth Silverman recycled silver hoops.

Up for debate: Prada Monolith loafers, Zara white flip flops, socks

The final decision: Far right. Loafers with frilly trouser socks. I look angry because I lost my tooth gem earlier that day (lost: as in swallowed it) but I had so much fun. 44 is pretty great so far.
