Hello from D.C.!

I'm taking a long weekend with a friend to visit Washington D.C., which I've never properly done. I'm hoping to take the Segway tour, go to some museums, take lots of touristy photos, and try out some great restaurants.

So far, off to a good start - check out this lobby. Yeah. Awesome.

I don't have my computer, but I'll definitely be posting lots of instagram photos, so you should follow me there!

Office cliché

The bow blouse, the pencil skirt, the high heels, this look says one thing: Sexy Secretary.
But I suppose things are cliché because they work, and I do love this combination.

Even though the blouse is vintage, the snake print skirt is on trend for this fall and the pumps have a great mix of contemporary flair with a somewhat classic shape. (See a better photo of the shoes here.)

I wonder if this inexpensive 100% poly blouse ever looked this good in it's original decade?
 
It seems like the sun just does not want to come out at 6 pm these days, and I'm cranking up the ISO, so forgive the grainy photos. Soon it will pitch black at 6 when I get home from work and I'll have to deal with taking outfit photos at a less convenient time.
Not looking forward to the shorter days!
