I turned 40 on Friday. I'm now what my pals in Singapore would label an "old vegetable". A crunchy young thing no more.I woke up yesterday thinking, just for fun, I should dress my age to go to the celebratory brunch instead of wearing my usual "young" clothes. You know, entertain my pals a little? But nothing I put on made me look 40. Lucky me, huh? Haha. Nanna-esque vintage dresses...pearls...pumps...all didn't work!
I gave up trying and went in this happy stripey thing from my stash of kiddie clothes - a sweater-dress made for a 12-year-old (with slight leg-of-mutton sleeves!). And felt kind of smug knowing that I have a few more years left to wear "youthful" clothes before I get the "mutton dressed as lamb" label slapped on me. Tee hee hee.

Hey Happy Birthday Ping. It'll be my turn to celebrate the big 4-0 in a few months. But I think 40 is the new 20 nowadays isn't it?
Hope you had a great day.

I agree with Natalie, 40 is the new 20! and I'm glad you didn't try to dress 40 because the above outfit you went with looks 'you'. Originally Likkle Girl : ) Hope your weekend was fabulous!
XOXO
Dress how you dress, not for your age I say. And Happy Birthday - you old chook (good ole' Aussie crappola for ya).
Happy Happy Birthday! Are you up for drinks again yet?
Hey Natalie!
Thank you! I think 40 might just be the new 20 too! I had so much to drink and I woke up the next day feeling fine. No hangovers. Just like being in my 20s again! Haha.
I wish the same for you! Will you be throwing a massive tea party? xx
Hey Nah-nah,
Tried as I did, I couldn't look "old". Haha!
I'll just wait for the right time to come. But I might not want it then! xx
Hey Katie,
Tee hee hee. Big "Thank You's" from this old chook. I love that word! xx
Hey Lien!
Thank you!
In a couple of weeks, I'll be. After the move. And looking forward to my first tatting lesson! Woo! xx
Little late, but someone once said: "better late than never", so HAPPY BIRTHDAY! Muimuimui* Oh, and I overheard this at a dinner table few months back, "we are no longer spring chickens, so pile on the SK II!", and couldn't agree more.
Hey B,
Thank you!
Haha! I should start looking using SK II. x
no way you're 40, what nonsense! you're like in your late 20s for sure!
Hey Room To Think,
No, I NEVER lie about my age.
There's no need to. Wahahahaha! x
