I know D.C. had some really fabulous weather last week, but I missed all of it while in California. (Not that I'm complaining.) Until today, that is. I actually tossed a light jacket on over this, only to be greeted with summer-like temperatures when I stepped outside. It was so nice to walk the streets of D.C. sans tights (and sans tan apparently...have to work on that - yikes!) and enjoy the beautiful weather. More than ever I'm ready for summer nights and rooftop party weather!

And isn't this skirt perfect for the warm temperatures? I've found that fuller, flouncy skirts balance out my proportions and I'm in love with this striped one from eShakti. Plus, it has pockets. And it's pretty much a rule that any dress/skirt that has pockets is an automatic favorite in my book!

XO,
Alison

  1. I think the rule in DC is we have at least until May to catch up to an appropriate tan.

  8. I know what you mean about the tan legs thing. I have been complaining to my coworkers all week about the lack of tan skin on my legs. I am counting down the days until I can spend Fridays poolside!

  14. Pockets in skirts and dresses are a necessity. Seriously, why doesn't every one have them? Super cute look, too!
