As you all know, since I’m a lush and tell everyone it’s my birthday and expect just as many gifts in return for my news, I turned 28 on Saturday. I joked about getting old in my last post, but I’m actually 100% ok with turning one year older.  While it did feel weird to type out the number twenty-eight, mainly because I still feel every bit of 12 years old, I’m actually okay with growing up now. The wrinkles are starting to make their slow entrance on my face, the grey hairs come in twos every few months, and somehow a ten o’clock bed time seems late these days. But I’ve got 28 years and two days of experience in my pocket and that’s something to be wrinkled, grey and tired about, right? 

Plus, who am I kidding? I still get carded every time I order a drink. Which is not often, grandma, I promise.

  9. You've actually got 28 years and two days of experience in your pocket. You're now in your 29th life year. Gasp! 🙂

  10. If you turned 28, don't you have 28 years and 2 days of experience, not 27 years?

  12. you wear it well.  i convinced myself i was fine with getting older too, then 30 sneaked up on me and i had a mild concussion.  now i just tell people (and myself) i'm "almost 30".  They don't know i'm counting backwards…

  13. Happy Birthday! I think too, it's totally to turn older, and we (I'm 27) don't have to worry about wrinkles and all that stuff yet, so I don't see any problem – at least so far 😉 I hope you had a wonderful birthday weekend!

  17. Happy belated b-day – hope you had a great time enjoying it. I still fully expect to get carded when I go out and I am kind of miffed when it doesn't happen – like, oh no, is it showing?!

  26. Happy belated birthday! You make 28 look great–I can't wait to join you there in a few months 🙂

  33. Happy birthday, lovely lady! You're hysterical and have amazing style – so I'd say the first 28 years have done you well. 🙂

  37. You look fantastic. As usual. That dress is perfect. Happy belated birthday. We are (almost) twins, except I just turned 16. And I feel way too old.

  43. Happy birthday! I read this post and I had to do the math to remember if I was 27 or 28. I keep telling people – if you're not getting older, you're dead! So keep getting older!!

  46. Happy Belated Birthday Kendi! My birthday was on Saturday too except that I turned 17 And there's no way on earth you look 28 or close to it! The wrinkles you apparently see must be an illusion 😛

  63. Aww happy birthday!! We share a birthday!!! 🙂 Yikes! We're getting closer to 30…. and it's a great thing! have a great day!!

  66. Happy belated, Kendi! You do look 12, but we should all just drink to that alone.

  71. You do look great but look at all you've accomplished so far!  That's what counts.  Stated the 39 year old SAHM, who feels accomplished when the kitchen looks clean. ; )

  72. Happy Birthday! If it makes you feel any better, you're technically only a day older 😉

  79. Happy birthday!
    I love the look, I just think those tights don't go. Just my opinion of course but with the color of the booties I would have picked another, more complimentary color for the tights. Or used black accessories to compliment the color of the tights. Whichever. I love the dress but most of all the hat!

  91. Aww…happiest of happy birthdays to you!  And relish #28…I just reached #40.  Though I do get carded when I order a drink (which is often lol!) I do believe that it is because they have to card me because that is what the law says.  🙂  Your outfit is so cute…one day I hope to be as cute as you!

  95. Happy Birthday! I just saw your bag was from Jigsaw, love it! My first London pay cheque may have landed up in that store 🙂

  99. I just turned 30 and I thought it was the end of the world! But you are soooooo right. I still get carded, and as long as that keeps happening, i'm ok with it! lol

  112. Happy birthday! 28 is way too young dear. I'm 39 and feels like I'm still in my 20's. Maybe that's the vibe.:)

  114. Hi Kendi,
    I know you are super busy but I hope you can help me out! I think I have that same dress – is it BCBG? If so, I wore it, dressed up, to a wedding but have trouble adding it to any sort of other outfit. Other than how you have styled it above, you do have any possible suggestions for me? 

    Thank you!

  117. Well happy bday, kendi! we may share a birthday? or similar birthday. i turned 25 on oct 26! i'm with you, bring on another year! though it does feel odd to say 25 as opposed to 22,23,24. I told my parents I'm over the hill now, into real adulthood i think 🙂 xoxo linds {{www.rubygirlblog.com}}
