I've gone for quite like an elegant look. I don't know. I turned 23 last week. Friday and I don't know. Change lady? Probably not. But yeah, I felt like switching up the vibe a bit and wearing something I wouldn't wear. So this is my mum's dress and it's from Zara. So let me know if you guys like this elegant look. Have you not worn it yet? There was no tag on there. No, no, no. It's yours.

And yeah, she's got her house ready for the new year. So on our half scene we also have to have eggs. Hard boiled eggs that you're meant to decorate. These traditionally decorate them and color them.
