Birthday Dresses

Ever since I turned 21, I have endured the same battle each and every August... finding the perfect Birthday Dress!! You may think that this seems like a simple task, but I assure you, it is not. I live in Dallas, TX a large city with lots of fantastic shopping, however, come August, shops toss out their cute summer dresses and truck in the plaid jumpers and wool scarves for back-to-school season. Retailers just don't seem to undestand that summers in Texas can last well into October. Why not plan ahead and buy a cute dress in June or July, you ask...because that is just not how I roll! ;) If I buy a cute dress too far in advance I will inevitably end up wearing it for something else. Last August, I started shopping for my birthday dress a week before my birthday and I literally went to every single mall and every single boutique in all of Dallas and could not find one suitable dress to wear. I ended up buying something at the last minute that was ok, but def not my fav and certainly not worthy of a birthday dress. Anyway, this afternoon I am going to start my annual search for the perfect bday dress to ring in my 25th!! Hopefully, I'll be able to find something cute!! :) Here are some of my bday dresses from years past:{21st Birthday in Austin; dress from: BCBG}
