Sightseeing

top ~ Simply Fashions, maxi skirt ~ TJ Maxx, sandals ~ Burlington Coat Factory, Dooney & Bourke Flap Wristlet , sunglasses ~ Retrocitysunglasses


Today I had fun with hubby as we explored the Martin Luther King Memorial in Washington, D.C.  This is such a beautiful city, with good shopping and a lot of cultural landmarks to visit.  We were only in town briefly to attend a graduation party, so we chose to visit this memorial before we ventured back home.  Lately, I have been bored with shopping at the same places.  One day, I walked into a local store called "Simply Fashions," that is next to a beauty supply store that I frequent.  Most of the clothes are not the best quality, and it is not the most desirable atmosphere to shop in, but I found some cute items at very low prices.  If you have one in your area check it out!  I scored this crop top in that store for $5.00.  I immediately knew that it was the perfect shirt to complete the "Wear A Cropped Top" section of the Big Fat Summer Challenge, that I have been obsessed with lately.  Cropped tops are nothing new to me, and my readers who have been with me for awhile know that I enjoy wearing them. I love to expose just a little peek of skin without going to far.  I knew that I wanted to be comfortable, so the pleated maxi skirt was the perfect match with the top.  I was relaxed, and I had such a lovely day sightseeing!

  11. HOT SEXY girl! Go ahead with it! :) I feel your pain about being bored with the same places though (hence my 3 times a week love sessions with my sewing machine). :)

    Don't you love this challenge? Crop top's next on my list. :)

  43. Love this outfit, and you're one of the few people who actually get good pictures at the MLK memorial. I drive past this everyday to work! I really need to get out and go there myself and get some pictures for the house.

  44. I visited the MLK memorial last month....it was truly a rewarding and peaceful experience. As soon as I stepped in from the wall of quotes to the monument I was in awe. Your photos are very nice.
