Catch-23

Another year has passed and I still don't feel like a responsible adult.

That's why it's more than appropriate that I got a Nintendo DS Lite for birthday!
This might sound a bit corny, but I truly feel my life is complete now.

..I did my best to look like an old lady on her way to a bridge game, though.

Happy belated birthday- i adore your outfit, if that's what old ladies look like then bring on the ageing process!
I have a nintendo too- and i'm 25 so no need to feel silly on that account!

Congrats! ^^ Hope you have a nice birthday!

I'm also craving for DS Lite, I've spent so many sleepless nights with my bf's mom's console at her place that I almost nearly took the thing with me when I left there. Silly me -.-

Happy belated birthday! First time commenting here.

I have to say that you look like a gorgeous old lady. Haha, that was supposed to sound like a compliment. What I mean is--you look great! :}

Where is that DS lite, a great picture would be of you gaming, haha.

Leni said...

Happy birthday Honey!

Amy said...

Kuinka pitkä olet? Näytät näissä kuvissa paljon pidemmältä kuin olen kuvitellut :)

Ranna said...

Thank you all!
So far I haven't been able to keep my hands off the DS!

AlicePleasance: I promise to post a close up in the near future!
It has become my favourite hat ever. :)

Mel: Thanks for the tip! I've been wondering if that game is any good, I'll check it out at some point. :)

...love Maegan: Haha, I'm pretty sure I'll never feel like an responsible adult. Or granny!

ellie: Well, in addition to that we have a Wii and XBox 360. :)
And they're both awesome!
You can never be too old for some good games.

Maria: I've been meaning to buy one since the DS (the ugly grey version) came out.
Now is the perfect time to score yourself a DS Lite bargain. They have been on sale in a couple of places because of the new DSi.

caramelizedvintage: Being told that you look like an old lady is the best compliment ever!
Grannies usually have great style. :)
Haha, I really need to post that gaming picture!

Amy: 167 cm.
Olen kanssa huomannut, että kuvakulmasta riippuen varsi näyttää ihan eri mittaiselta!
Yleensä näytän lyhyeltä sen takia, että minulla on ihan tavattoman suuri pää. :)

Don't worry, my wife and I are 30 and 31, and we still don't feel like responsible adults a lot of the time :) It's good to remain playful and fun, or you'll feel old long before you get there.

That dress is amazing, I love the fabric pattern. Looks great with the pearls :)

Diana said...

Beautiful outfit, and I'm jealous of your DS Lite. I'm afraid I would get nothing done if I had one.

Happy birthday!
I wonder why it is that we always want to be an age that we are not?
I like the old lady look. Someone asked me yesterday if I got my cardigan off my nan and I was flattered!

Claradevi said...

Oh, happy belated birthday! nevermind about the DS, even my 43-years mother has it for her own. you look gorgeous and i love how the elegant necklace shape your look into a sweet, gorgeous young lady-like!

Rachel said...

Happy belated birthday! I love your outfit, especially the hat (? It's a headpiece, all the same to me)

Isabel said...

23? You're still pretty young! And gorgeous!

Maria said...

Happy Birthday! I have that same dress by the way :)

Becca Jane said...

Happy Birthday (belated though it may be)
