Saturday was a perfect day for exploring a new neighborhood in DC, which is exactly what John Paul and I did. On a hunt for some stuff for our apartment, we checked out Logan Circle, full of great independent stores and completely delicious food! If you're in that area of the city, be sure to stop by Masa 14 (Latin-Asian fusion; great small plates for lunch), Hunted House (1950s-1970s furniture), Miss Pixie's (consignment furniture), Pulp (fabulous cards for every single occasion), and Home Rule (where I picked up our only purchase, a microplane zester). Although we didn't get anything on our list, it's great to have a list of local stores that stock cute stuff!
I got this top a couple weeks ago, and love it so, so much! It's really loose and silk/cotton blend, so it breathes for the summer, plus the print isn't stuffy for a button down. The skirt is actually black velvet, so maybe not great for the summer humidity, but at least it's short! The sandals are the reason I look forward to summer; they go with everything.
It should be mentioned that John Paul put up with parking illegally so I could run out and pose for these pictures before it started raining. He's the most patient person!
