D.C. Day 2

September 14, 2015 by jessica

Washington-DC-Outfit-2-v2

My favorite thing about D.C. (aside from the history, of course), is that there’s no shortage of amazing places to take photos. This stunning building was actually an apartment complex across the street from our hotel — and looks nothing like the buildings here in Madison! We spend so much time looking for acceptable photo locations that it leaves me jealous of big city bloggers who have beauties like this in their backyards! And, on that note, have you seen Eva Chen’s Instagram account of photogenic walls in NYC? I think we need to band together to make one for every state.

    Wow, that’s an apartment complex?! It certainly puts the ‘burbs of Kansas City to shame. I love the breezy shape and fun print of that dress–perfect for a day of exploring a city!

    I love it every time you wear this dress Jessica. Not only is it a pretty dress but it is so you! And that apartment complex is beautiful. Reminds me of my luxe and pretty apartment complex when I lived in the capital of Albania. =)

    Oh yes, I love some good backdrop envy. I have to continually roll my eyes when my family members ask me why I can’t just take my photos in the backyard.

    Love your gauzy dress, it looks so light and comfortable.

      Haha! I figured that I’m a tourist and I’ll never see this people again, so it was okay. 😉

      I’m usually such a Nervous Nelly when there’s people around when I’m taking photos. It’s the worst!
