Outfit Post: Birthday Butterflies





 

 
CYNTHIA Cynthia Rowley Butterfly Printed Shorts (at Belk - on clearance!!) (love this ASOS version)
Topshop Ribbed Peplum Top (old - similar here and here)
Guess Pink Glitter Pumps (old)
ILY Couture Fan Fringe Necklace in Ivory || Arbonne Black Glitter Knuckle Clutch (old - LOVE this one and this gold one || Michael Kors "Bradshaw" Rose Gold Watch || J.Crew Pave Link Bracelet
 
Can you believe we're already almost 1/2 way through August? I can't. Time is just flying by the older we get and I'm not liking it! Speaking of getting older - I celebrated my birthday last week. Why aren't birthdays as fun as they were when you were 7 or 10.. or 21? Maybe I should try having a "Purple Party" like I did when I was 8 to inject a little bday spunk into my life...
 
How fun are these butterfly print shorts? When I spotted them on my latest instagram crush, Maggie, I just had to have them. I scored them majorly on sale (they're still available so you can too!) and just couldn't wait to wear them for dinner at Mura, my favorite sushi restaurant in Raleigh. They're part whimsical part girly which is totally up my alley. I also couldn't resist pulling out my favorite pink glitter pumps, a Christmas gift from Billy several years ago. What better way to celebrate a birthday than with Pink Glitter?
 
What about you - what was your favorite birthday celebration you ever had?

    That is the perfect birthday outfit! Loving everything about it! I can't get enough of the necklace, peplum, shorts and heels!

    And seriously, birthdays aren't what they were when we were younger. But I did enjoy turning 30 in Vegas last year. So much fun!
