#52 - It's my birthday!

These are my outfit/shoe challenge photos from yesterday. It's actually my birthday today, but as I had to go to a funeral this afternoon, I'm trying to think of yesterday & tomorrow as my substitute birthday. I went out to dinner with my family last night, and am going out with friends tomorrow, and hopefully I'll be able to wear the birthday outfit I had in mind tomorrow! Anyway, this is another River Island dress, which you may also have seen Shoeperwoman wearing recently! We had a public holiday here yesterday, and I went shopping (although I didn't buy anything - I'm still on my shopping ban), took my cat outside, and went to dinner at a Thai restaurant.

When I'm searching for shoes at my favourite sites, one of the usual searches I do is for 'multi-coloured' shoes. I love anything with colourful prints, but that often means that I have shoes and clothes that are difficult to match with anything else! These striped shoes don't match too badly with this bird-printed dress, all things considered :)

The shoes are from Nine West. I actually walked a kilometre or two in them yesterday, and they were comfortable! It was amazing, as they are slingbacks, which are usually the worst type of shoes to walk in.

I got some lovely birthday presents, including a camel-coloured coat which will be making an appearance here soon. But I think my favourite thing was this snowflake necklace from my mother. Here are some beautiful cupcakes that my sister got for me. They're almost too cute to eat!
When I got home today, I found my bedroom full of balloons! My brother-in-law and his friend spent hours blowing them all up, which was really nice of them. There must be hundreds in here! (Unfortunately, my poor cat is terrified of them, and won't even come upstairs while they're here!).
