Que Bella – Leopard and Dots

Sorry for the brief hiatus. This month has been hectic and lazy at the same time. Yay for Summer! (Though we have started on our 100 degree days around here. Sorry WMM, about your rain! Hope you get to tend you garden/yard soon!)

Husband took me out for an early birthday dinner on Friday. Since I have been to Boiler House before, I knew I wanted to wear something loose and not constricting. The Carrie Dress in Big Dot was the perfect item to hide my impending food baby and beat the heat. 

I had originally planned to wear black sandals with the dress but decided to try Leopard instead. I love the Lillian Calf Hair Sandals and scored these on ebay. I don’t know why I didn’t listen to Gigi and size down to a 6 1/2 but the ankle strap holds me in. 
I was able to grab the Carrie Dress in Hawaiian Sunset as well during the stackable promo in store. This dress is great for those really hot days and my new Cons go well with them to make the dress super casual.
Hope you have a Great Day! I’m heading to my annual Birthday lunch at La Gloria, back over at The Pearl. If you’re ever in San Antonio, make a stop to that area. It has a great Farmer’s Market on Saturdays (The Boy works there), fantastic restaurants, a cool bar and lovely little shops.

    You look beautiful! I just bought the Hawaiian Carrie dress and the big dot one is on my list. I'm hoping that my size will still be around when it gets marked down since I have totally overspent lately. I love that it has room for the food baby !

    AudreyBella,
    I wondered if you could give some info on whether you sized up or down in this dress. I have two different sizes on hold at my local store, and am nervous about the purchase. It would be great to hear your opinion/recommendation.

    Thank you,
    Brooke

      Wiley – I would say sized down, to a 6. I have been taking size 8 in dresses for a while now.
