Hanging Around Georgetown

Monday, July 11th, 2011 | 62 Comments

This weekend I made my way over to Georgetown to do some birthday gift hunting and basically just getting out.

Walked around, gawked at sweets at Dean & Deluca, ate lunch at a Cajun restaurant called Bayou (pretty good gumbo,) browsed expensive boutiques because I’m less likely to give into shopping at them compared to more affordable H&M or Zara lol.

Saw a gorgeous pleated skirt at Rag & Bone but it was $450.
Actually all their pre-fall items are drop dead perfect. There’s a blazer & sweater I was feeling up on the rack.

around the main shopping district~~
See, I said I was gonna wear the new dress there!!
Bayou restaurant

There’s no avoiding the truth. It’s full on summer now.
Tanks and shorts summer now. T_T;;; Tomorrow it’s going to be 101F (38C) ~~~~
I often feel I can’t “wear what I want” because a tank + shorts is never what I want lol. So it’s time to live in onepiece/dresses and try to get creative I guess. I’m always carrying a sweater in my bag when planning to visit a mall or restaurant because then I get chilly being half naked for the outdoors!

Point is, I did a mini overhaul of my closet Sunday. Removed a bunch of clothing, some even purchased semi-recently, that I won’t, can’t, or don’t want to wear. Nothing donated yet, just in a sorta “time out” limbo for now so I can focus on staying cool with comfort.

Lately when I go into my closet I just stand there. Confused. Pondering…. “what could I possibly wear that doesn’t look disastrous?!” Many recent days are too hot for even my favorite maxi dress.

But it feels good now!
Coordinating should come about more easily now for the next 2 hottest months. August is always especially brutal. I do wish for cooler days. But I know I’ll be all bitchy about the coldest winter months too lol.
Can’t be helped~~~
