I hope you had a great weekend! My birthday was on Saturday and I celebrated with with my family. I’m a big believer in stretching my birthday celebration out over a few weeks as I love any excuse to see friends. Unfortunately, I guess my birthday dinner with my parents was a little too wild and crazy as I woke up on Sunday with a cold…. Hopefully I can knock it out pretty quickly as I hate being sick.
Have a great day and thanks for reading!

That vest is so pretty and elegant. Happy Belated Birthday Nicole! I must say the shoes, leggings and earrings you have on are quite pretty, also.
P.S. Get better soon. I hate Winter for making us sick! =(

You have just re-inspired me to wear my blazer vest! It’s just been hanging in my closet. This is such a toughened up (but still very chic) look for you. Love it! And happy belated birthday! How did I not know — I hope you had lots of cake and (Jeni’s) ice cream!

I love a long vest. This is a great look. I love to belt mine and wear it to work. For some reason belting it makes it more corporate America. I like how you’ve kept it casual yet chic.

Ugh being sick is never fun. Hopefully you feel better soon.
On a more positive note, I’m loving that vest! I want one just like that and I’m kicking myself for not looking for one at Forever21 when I placed an order last week!
