This weekend, I had the unbelievable experience of visiting friends in Washington, D.C. The last time I was there was for my school’s 8th grade trip, and I remember loving it even then. So I’ve been so excited to get back and experience the city with some cute locals! (On that same trip, at the class bowling alley social, my 8th grade crush asked me to be his girlfriend. So it’s safe to say the city holds a strong romantic connection for me. Insert sly winky face emoji here.)

Oh how it exceeded my expectations! We stayed in a darling townhouse in Georgetown, which I’m pretty sure came straight from a movie. The homes, the flowers, the cafes, it was all magical! I snapped some of my favorites street scenes and wove them into the images above to give you a little taste. The whole city was gorgeous, sophisticated, and utterly classic. It seemed fitting that today’s outfit be inspired by my time there. A blue and white striped skirt plus a crisp collared blouse = timeless. How I wish I could wear this for a stroll around the Georgetown neighborhood right now!

I’m already looking forward to this coming weekend, as my roomie from last year is coming in for our dear friend’s wedding. (Danica, we love you!) This summer won’t slow down, and I’m loving every second. I hope you are as well!
