I just want to be clear and state that this post applies to any age & any birthday! I just picked 30 because I’m turning 30! Lol 😉
I know for a fact that when I wear something that makes me feel good about myself, I am naturally more confident, happy & outgoing. It's really a total self esteem boost to get dolled up & show myself some TLC.
But with so many options out there, how do you choose the perfect one?
In this blog post, I'll share some tips and ideas on how to choose the best dress for your 30th birthday, so you can look good and feel good on your special birthday.
Real quick, let's get this out of the way.
Why "dressing your age" doesn’t matter
Are you having anxiety about what to wear now because you are turning 30? The truth is that this saying doesn’t actually help or mean anything. It's quite honestly a toxic saying.
The truth is that style is all about expressing yourself and wearing what makes you feel confident and happy.
The notion of dressing according to your age is basically all based on stereotypes and culture. However, style is about the ability to express yourself through fashion and wearing what makes you feel confident and comfortable.
Fashion is quickly moving, changing and evolving with new styles and designs coming out making it wonderful for people to embrace a wide range of style choices regardless of age.
And lets be real, the way you choose to dress is all about feeling authentic and being able to express yourself through your own personal and unique style. Age shouldn’t ever make you feel limited in your fashion choices or dictate what you can and cannot wear.
What should I wear on my 30th birthday?
This question can be a little vague since there could be so many different occasions or style parties.
