Adorably chic!
I love how a plan comes together! You did swell.

Astrid, this is a killer look. And you look so beautiful. The outfit is perfect, but I cannot get past your hair. This is such a beautiful cut for you. Frames your face so beautifully. WOW

My father turned 50 last year and my mother turns 50 next year, high-five for young parents Although I think I'm a few years younger than you.

I adore your sparkly gold dress! It breaks up the black really well.

Beautiful! I wish I could pull off your haircut. It's a stunning style on you.

Love the outfit and earings. You did a great job pulling everything together!

Great outfit and you look wonderful. I love the chic simplicity of it all. Those earrings are fabulous and with your hair--well, all eyes on you.

You look amazing. That skirt is incredible.

You look great Astrid

Thank you so much, everyone! I'm truly feeling great wearing this and I think it's going to be so much fun. I'm looking forward to seeing what the others are going to wear.

(Also thanks to those who complimented me on my hair. I always like it best directly after a cut.)

You look lovely, Astrid.

Beautiful! I love those earrings.

Great outfit and earrings Astrid. YLF!

You look really great Astrid!

The hard work paid off and your look is lovely. The earrings are a pretty touch and just enough sparkle.

Yep, you look fab! The earrings have a lovely sparkle. It always feels good (to me) to have the right outfit worked out ahead of time. Have a wonderful time at the party!

Gorgeous! Really perfect. The skirt is beautiful and so well styled.

You look beautiful, Astrid. The black is broken up by the details of the skirt, and the earrings are a brilliant choice. Have a great time at your Dad's celebration.

Thanks everyone.

Hooray for shopping the closet! Love the earrings. YLF!

Great outfit. Have fun at the party.

Astrid, I haven't been on the forum much so I haven't 'seen' you lately. WOW! Beautiful!

Late to the thread but wanted you to know I adore how your hair looks! T really suits you and frames your face adding to your overall look. I love the skirt and the whole outfit. The selfie is so cute you'd never know it was a long day.

Beautiful outfit your efforts paid off! How lucky to have so very young parents and YLF!!!

Thanks again. I'm at home now and the actual birthday was today (workday though). It was lovely. The party is tomorrow evening and I'm glad I'm all set.
And I will get to help my sister and mum with their outfits tomorrow. Somehow I've become the person to ask...

Very lovely result. Your makeup is perfect for you.
Enjoy the party!
