Turning 35 is not so bad

This first outfit is what I decided to wear on my 35th birthday kicking around Amsterdam with the man I love. Which was the perfect way to celebrate a significant milestone for me. In the months leading up to my birthday I had begun to feel that the focus in our lives was starting to shift.
