#17, word. up. sister. I’m turning 30 this year, and am *not* really sad to say good bye to my 20’s yet. Although I hear it makes online dating a little tougher ;)
Also: I love (lovelove!) this look. Those shorts are fab! Tried to snag a pair myself, but they’re sold out online.

This year (my 27th) is officially the year of “never say never”…..I feel like I’ve learned the most about myself in the past 2-3 years. Currently training for a 1/2 marathon. I’m pretty sure that once in my life I said I would never run over a mile.
Also, I do prefer flats to heels. They just make my aging feet feel so good!!!

Awe, I love this list! I’m 25, and you’re making me want to create a “Things To Do Before The End Of My 20s” List. Them, of course, I’ll do one of these once I turn 30 :)
Also, that hi-lo top looks fab on you!
xo,

Love this! I just turned 28 (yesterday!), and I feel like I should write my own – good reminder to notice/appreciate the growth and maturity and change that comes with getting older when I’m feeling a little iffy about that new 28 number… (And my mom will love hearing that I now believe she was always right – especially as one of her favorite phrases to use on us was always “never say never”.)

This is a great list and I can relate to it very well. When I was younger my grandmother used to tell me to be a lawyer. I said that sounded really boring. Now I’m 30 and work in the law field. Go figure. I love your shorts. In fact, it was YOU that inspired me to buy them. I wore them very recently, in fact, on Monday and did a post. Thanks!

Thanks for admitting to finding grey hairs before you’re 30. I found some too, and I felt like the only one!

Great post! I love 16 – my mom was right about regretting the tattoo I got when I was 18, but I’ll never tell her :-)

I agree 100% with more of those points than I’d like to admit. {Whatever happened to Eric and Julie Season 1??}
Those shorts. Exactly something I’ve been yearning for. Love this head to toe.

Love the wedges and although I am only 24 I can attest to 16 out of 20 which means that by the time my 20s are over I’ll be 20 for 20 :D

I love this list. What does it say about me that I’m gonna turn 28 next month and already feel all of them. Except the minivan. I think I’ll stick that one out for when I finally give in to some kiddos.
