I have got, pants down, the best birthday present ever.

Today was my birthday! Long weekend, bbqed, partied in the city last night, fun times. This outfit was from last week, we got an email at work regarding our dress code, which is still casual but they reiterated the fact that we can't wearing anything that hits above the knee (there were a couple of knees showing that day).. so I came up with this for work. I'm cutting it close because it's not actually long enough but really, who wears stuff below the knee at our age? And I'm super short, so it just makes me look shorter. They didn't hassle me about it so I'll have to find more stuff to wear for the summer.

Tired now.. need to recharge. Off to Phoenix for a big volleyball tournament.. hopefully I don't melt because of the heat.










(dress: Christopher Kane for Topshop skirt: H&M shoes: Steve Madden rings: Made Her Think & Noir)

    Aw happy birthday! And that CK top is gorgeous. And I wasn't sure if the title to this post was important, but you never mentioned your best birthday present ever! What did you get if you don't mind my asking?

    happy birthday!! nothing above the knee is too much! they should allow "knee high" at least, which is a much wider concept.

    Happy belated birthday! Sounds like you really lived it up, which makes me happy :)
    What's up with office dress codes, anyway? I'm super lucky to wear whatever I want and really, unless you're seeing clients every day, you should be able to do the same! Meh... either way, this outfit is the perfect blend of bus-casual + stylish (I hate that the two are often mutually exclusive).
    Can't wait to see more!

    Love your look and the fact that Christopher Kane print is not too obvious here!
