Birthday Babe: 4 Outfits That Will Make You Look and Feel Your Best

There are two types of people in this world: those who love birthdays and those who hate them. I am between the former. I also believe that there are little ways we celebrate big moments like birthdays that make those moments memorable. Gathering with loved ones, treating yourself to your favorite dessert, and even the simple acts of dressing up in a cute birthday outfit can enhance the day, whether you're feeling festive or not.

Although you should feel like the main character in your life every day, it is especially important on your birthday. One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to choose a birthday outfit (or birthday outfits, plural) that will make you feel like a million bucks. For some, it looks like a micro mini and heels. For others, a comfortable pair of pajamas or sweats will suffice. That's the beautiful thing about style: it's personal, it's subjective, and what you wear on your birthday, just to celebrate another year around the sun, is entirely up to you.

Go for the gloves

Often times, people shy away from rocking statement accessories like opera gloves because they feel a bit too elaborate. However, on your birthday, there is an extended specific goal.

Leave it up in lace

This is your party, and you can look like a walker if you want. In all seriousness, though, this fancy-feeling stuff is elegant yet playful—the perfect combo for a nice dinner.

Netflix and chillax in pajamas

Maybe your birthday falls on a weekend. Maybe you're taking a day off to celebrate another year around the sun from the comfort of your couch. Either way, if chilling straight is the goal, you can't go wrong with a pair of festive pajamas. Bonus points if you have slippers to match.

Party in puff sleeves

They are whimsical, statement-making and look like a celebration all in one outfit. So, puff-sleeved anything – tops, dresses, jumpsuits, blazers – is fun for your special day.
