Leopard isn’t the easiest print to pull off – especially for casual wear – but the subtle spots on this Emerson Fry skirt was perfect for daytime sightseeing and shopping in Georgetown last weekend.

We’re back from D.C.! I’m looking forward to a much-needed day to relax and let my sore feet recover from all of that walking! In the meantime, here’s a peek at what we did along with some of my other favorite memories from August.
Purchased flowers at the farmers’ market // Spotted a mermaid door knocker in Old Town Alexandria
Shopped in Georgetown // Sampled beer at Great Taste of the Midwest
Goofed around in our room at the Loews Madison Hotel while Dave got ready for the day
Saw a patriotic horse in Alexandria // Sipped a midday craft cocktail
Wore these versatile Kendra Scott earrings with everything // Went to the ball game in D.C.
Took one last photo of Alexandria before our return flight

I can’t help but look forward to sweater weather when it means layering on long pendants like this Lulu Frost stunner ($265). If you’re reluctant to say goodbye to summer, the designer is having a sale on her “Let’s Bring Back” collection online. Shipping is free with code FORGETFALL.
I feel like a broken record with all of these D.C. trips over the last couple of years, but we love the city and couldn’t resist a cheap flight to the capital for Labor Day weekend. Our itinerary includes cocktails at the acclaimed Columbia Room, paddle boating in Tidal Basin and a late-summer baseball game. I hope you have a wonderfully relaxing holiday weekend!
