Birthdays always tend to provoke a time of reflection for me. It seriously feels like yesterday that I blew the candles for my 21st and was on my way to one of the biggest ‘turn-ups’ of my life. While growing up all this while, birthdays were eagerly anticipated by me because they meant change. Another year older, another grade higher. A year closer to some idealized fantasy birthdays with all its imagined privileges: closer to 13: "Hey I am a teenager" to16 :"Well! I go to college" to 18 : "Oh, Yes! I can drive" to 21: "Legal & Free" Now, when I am turning 22 it seems like birthdays are more about how much time has passed rather than how much time is ahead.

Life changes day by day and you don't even come to know what's happening until you sit down one fine day and browse through those memories or that impromptu reminiscence strikes your head out of no where. Sometimes we control the change, sometimes it totally blindsides us, but either way, we are always in control of our *attitude* towards change. I have been thoroughly lucky with the major changes which took over me over this passed one year. I never wanted to do a 9 AM -5 PM desk job ever since I was in college. I stayed adamant on that fact, letting not the peer- pressure take over me and here I am today; being the #GirlBoss which I always wanted to be. A happy free lancer, a full-time work-a-holic constantly juggling between brands and projects. Ah!! what a journey its been and still a milestone to achieve!
To be honest, what you wear on your birthday really depends on what you’re doing. If it is something casual, obviously dress accordingly. However, if you’re going to be the belle of the ball at a party, I think a chic short dress with some unusual but interesting details is the way to go. Just like the one I am wearing in this blog post. Its such a simple yet versatile short dress but I love the lace work and the turtle neck details. And I also believe that dressing up does make you feel special so make sure you do it right on your most special day!
