DC Style File: 06.02.10

Posted: 06.02.10

So, I got this new dress in the mail right before we left for DC and I knew it would be the perfect memorial day weekend dress to wear. I love the pattern in it and the tie shoulder details. I also love the length of it. Sometime I have a hard time finding dresses that arent to short now a day and this dress is just great for taller girls like me. Did you know Modcloth has a section now for longer length dresses? It’s awesome!

I wore this dress on Sunday after we finished at the pool. We went out for a nice lunch and then headed over to the zoo. I loved pairing this large sun hat with the dress. I felt quite glamorous for being so comfy and cool. I think the little owl at the zoo liked my hat as well because he would not stop looking at me. Out of the many people standing in front of his exhibit kev and me watched him watch me like a hawk (or maybe an owl I should say). No matter where I moved or how fast his little head would follow me around. It was cracking me up. Even if I went out of sight and them came back he would instantly pick me up and follow me. It was crazy. I am including a picture of the red panda too- which I think is one of my new favorite animals. So cute!

I love the dress. I want one for myself! I am 5’10 and it seems like most dresses I like right now barely cover my business, so I can relate. I am going to check into that longer length section.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE red pandas!!! the syracuse zoo has them and we spend a ridiculous amount of time watching them every time we go.

awesome to know about the longer length dresses on modcloth…being 5’11″ i often find that the waists of a lot of dresses don’t hit me at the right place, you know (let alone that many are dangerously too short!!!)?

That dress looks so pretty on you, I got one with similar colors from ModCloth and just couldn’t pull it off but I think your dark hair works really well with the bold colors. You’re making me reminisce about last summer’s DC trip! It’s so pretty threr! and that owl is cute!

ha! That owl is too cute! I love the pixelated pattern on the dress! Good to know about Modcloth, I often ordered up a size to have the length more appropriate for working at a school!

You look so gorgeous Jen. I can see why that little owl couldn’t keep its eyes off of you!!!

I saw a red panda at the Detroit zoo, too.

Great pics…you are right in my neighborhood and it is gorgeous…I love it here. Your pink tunnel scarf was there during Snowmageddon sledding at Rock Creek behind the Omni…I got a lot of use out of it this winter but I like Rock Creek better when it is wearing green!

You look great! I’ve been looking for a big floppy summer hat recently.
Sorry the zoo was such a bust! Glad you liked DC otherwise and had a good time. It’s such a clean city, isn’t it.
Hopefully it wasn’t too hot for you, summer heat in DC is the worst!

Just read your DC post! I love Tryst, seriously the best mochas ever and those adorable little animal crackers they give you…aww! And Busboys & Poets is so fun, what a great atmosphere. I love the American History Museum as well, particularly the Julia Child kitchen haha. And yes, I agree the zoo is pretty awful. At least its free, but the layout is terrible- you walk all the way down to walk all the way back up at the end and the animals are quite sparse ugg. Still glad you guys had a great time
