august in dc.

August in DC  is can be a great time. Congress is on recess, traffic is almost non existent, vacations are happening. You get the picture. I, on the other hand, am busier than ever, like EVER. Yes, go figure in an off year, I am crazy busy. It's made August a blur for me, but I have been able to sneak out for some happy hours with girlfriends and many rezzies are made for next week's Restaurant Week. 

Another puzzle piece to August is that DC is built on a swamp...literally. Between the oppressive humidity and mosquitoes, a girl can't get comfortable. This is why I love, I repeat, LOVE putting together a simple outfit, preferably a breezy dress, to transition from my igloo of an office to patio happy hours and dining al fresco. 

I saw this dress and fell in love. Head over heels. Alice and Trixie is a favorite and those colors scream sweet summertime.
