jazz and wine, vintage dresses


A vintage dress shop in D.C. that Kathryn, Amaro and I had a good time browsing in. And below, a fantastic flapper-style dress. I love how simple it is- the simplicity yet distinct origin makes it able to wiggle between all time periods and still look relevant and fresh. I could imagine wearing something like this all year long- in the summer with a bright slip dress underneath and some bold earrings, in the winter with knee high leather boots, a cozy drapey wrap cardigan, and maybe a belt. Who doesn't like to wear a sheer black dress with feathers at all hours of the day and all days of the year?!




So lovely...look at all of these humans just enjoying themselves. This was an event we all went to Friday evening, it was a jazz in the park event. People were sitting around the water or on the grass, with wine and picnic food, listening to live jazz and just enjoying wonderful weather, wonderful food, and most of all, wonderful company. I love outdoor events...I love even more events that aren't really events, maybe where it's just part of the culture to have live music in the park during the summer and doesn't have to be on a calendar...
