Que Bella – It’s my birthday (month) and I’ll dress pretty if I want to…

Oh my…has it been a busy few weeks in the AudreyBella household.

  • The Boy is out for the summer.
  • We had our first backyard BBQ/Pool party.
  • Husband started a war with some Red Hornets. I had to get involved and it wasn’t pretty. 
  • I don’t have a green thumb at all. I think I killed my Bougainvilleas. 
  • But my Knockout Roses are blooming! 
  • The last of my outdoor furniture arrived!
  • I cleaned my office!!!
  • I re-organized my closet, again. 
  • I made an AWESOME margarita that included champagne! Yummy yummy!
  • We saw Hangover 2. I thought it was funny, as did The Boy. 
  • Received the most wonderful compliment from Husband’s friend about The Boy – “He’s the most adult 15 year old I’ve ever met.”

And I needed a little break from blogging (not that I do it daily, but you know how it goes).

Anyway, it’s my birthday month and I have been receiving lots of “birthday” coupons. Of course, my most prized one was Anthropologie, which didn’t last a whole two days into June! More on that later. I decided to make this “The Month of Dressing Pretty”. For the summer I always do the standard shorts, tees and flip-flops. I have so many pretty things that are not worn and I decided I wasn’t going to wait around for a special occasion or work to wear them. This whole birthday month will be a special occasion. You should be seeing me in lots of skirts and dresses that are rarely worn, some even NWT. I’m going to attempt to commit to dressing pretty 4 days a week.

June 1

Dress: J Crew Mirabel in White, 6

I’m working on my Anthropologie post so you should see that later this evening or tomorrow morning.

Have a great day!

    What a lovely idea, a month of dressing pretty. :^) I think you pair your shorts and tees in very pretty ways too, the look is never plain, always feminine. But I totally get the idea to wear more skirts and dresses.

    Happy Birthday Audrey, all month long!

    Happy Birthday month, Audrey! Love your outfits. You have inspired me to pick up the Mirabel in white.

    Can't wait to see what you bought with your Anthro discount. I got mine and it's burning a hole in my pocket! I'm pretty sure it will be cashed in by the end of the weekend!!!
