Happy birthday to you! Congratulations on the new! You look great!

“Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.”― Marc Hack

All of us longtime MOer's will automatically first gasp at horizontal stripes, short sleeves, and bare legs all in one photo (still a self-taught taboo hard for me to shake.) Then we'll see your foxy smile that says it all--happy YOU, happy FOR you.
