Maxi dress: Made by me; Shirt: so old that I don't even know; Sandals: Payless; Hat: H&M; Belt: Thrifted; Necklace: F21Friday dawned perfectly warm and sunny*, and since Dan had the day off work, we decided to take a picnic down to the Tidal Basin to see the cherry blossoms. It could not have been more perfect. In past years, we've caught them either a little early, a little late, too late at night, for too short of a time, etc. But this time.
This time! The weather was perfect and we had the whole afternoon to lounge by the blossoms and eat and enjoy time as a family. (Incidentally, it poured for the next two days and blew off most of the flowers, so it was perfect timing.)
Have I mentioned I really love warm weather? And family time? Because I do.
*Yes, yes, I've blathered on about the gorgeous weather way too much, blah blah blah.

ReplyDeletePreethi, I love it! I hope I am as stylish maternity as you are! :) I am 18 weeks and starting to look at cute maternity clothes. I found a cute jean skirt that I love, and it has been fun to pair things with. The cherry blossoms are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh how I love D.C. I used to live there and I think that I will always miss it. What a perfect family outing and your outfit was adorable.

awesome pictures. when did you guys make it down to the cherry blossoms? i think they are done-zo by now. shucks.
ReplyDeleteWe love the photos, especially the one of Nat looking so focused on something far distant from the camera and in a totally different direction. He looks so thoughtful. He's a nice little boy.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun pattern mix -- but then again, I believe stripes go with just about everything. The cherry blossoms are amazing. :)
