So it's going to be 90 degrees in DC all week, but for a bright, shining moment in June it felt like Spring and I finally got the opportunity to take pics of this amazing jumpsuit that I freakishly found at - stay with me now - Abercrombie & Fitch. I'm not sure what happened to the completely size exclusive, stereotypical upper middle class Caucasian people only store of my youth, but it's had a few pieces that have found homes in my closet and every time it shocks me. Especially the part where almost across the board I am a size XL/32 which doesn't even happen at brands actually aimed at the 30+ crowd.

Made of 100% Lyocell, it's super comfortable to wear for pretty much all occasions (I also need to try rolling up the hem like the model). Most importantly for me though is that the legs are on the slim side, which after some experimentation, I actually think is more flattering. It seems to be totally sold out online at the moment (boooo) but if you manage to find it in a store I highly recommend you give it a try! I'm almost sad I didn't buy it in more colors but it felt a little excessive for someone who's trying to calm it down on the spending front.

And oooh, I can't wait to to wear this layered with crew and turtlenecks once it cools down again!

So I got this shirt. Do I love it? I don't know. Do I hate it? Definitely not. But I think I'll know much more as the linen wears in because here it was pretty much right out of the package and it shows. I'll keep you updated.

It's funny how at this point I almost fee like writing a "fit post" for The Frankie Shop. Every time I'm in NY I like to swing by and try on some of their wares, because despite the "one size" label that so many of their pieces have, they can end up fitting pretty perfectly. This green corduroy shirt fulfills a few different wants I had, in a way that's much more versatile than a blazer (which is the other corduroy piece I was toying around with buying).

I'm still working on creating a wardrobe I'm 100% happy with, but I feel like maybe I'm coming around more and more to The Anna Edit's version of a capsule - not a particular number, but a determination to only have pieces that I love, and moving out-of-season items to a different spot in my closet (and not because I don't have space, but because it's distracting to have them cluttering things up).

Let me tell you about when you shouldn't wear a 100% polyester dress. You should not wear a 100% polyester dress during a holiday weekend that causes a major road to close so that instead of taking an Uber all the way to your destination, you're forced to walk.

I don't really know what's wrong with me that I would think taking pictures NEXT TO THE WATER on a windy as hell day would be a good idea. Since it's done now, I hope you'll just excuse me and the overly hand-centric photos that I had to take to keep my hair out of my face/lipstick.

I've been keeping an eye out for plaid double-breasted blazers from pretty much the moment they exploded all over the internet, but I never really seriously considered thrifting one because fit is such a huge component of the overall look. Then - duh - it occurred to me that using a thrifted blazer I already owned and loved might be a good way to tackle the problem. I found this Pendleton piece on Poshmark for $12, and it was worth every penny :D.

I'm not going to lie to you and say this outfit was TOTALLY appropriate for the weather. Maybe if I was a scarf person it'd have been a bit less chilly in the shade, but since I was comfortable walking around in the sun I just couldn't bring myself to care.

This outfit was actually inspired by a Pinterest flat lay, and it was unexpectedly just the kick in the pants I needed to think about seasonal transitioning. Instead of embracing the cold mornings and warm afternoons that DC springs actually are, I've been jumping ahead to SUMMER  and all the dresses you can imagine. Spring has its own charms that I need to remember to check into, before I reach the point of sweating every second I spend outside.
