Frock Fridays: A Polka-Dotted Blate

My weekends between now and April 20, when I fly off to England, are mostly busy with getting ready for the move to my new apartment on April 26 - wandering around Ikea, snatching up Craigslist finds, picking out paint colors, and moving furniture around my 2D floor plan over and over again - but I'm making time for some fun, too!  I was thrilled when Tina emailed me to suggest a blate while she's in DC for work, and I can't wait to meet her (and her husband!) in real life tomorrow for lunch.  We've decided to check out Union Market which, based on the noise about it on Twitter, is populated entirely by bloggers on the weekends.  Given that the market apparently has tons o' stalls and shops selling cute things for the home, I might still sneak in a few apartment purchases, but I'm going to ask Tina to restrain me if things get out of hand.  We're not sure where exactly we'll go for lunch, so please do give us some recommendations if you've been before!

The outfit below isn't exactly the one I'll be wearing for our blate, but I had fun putting together the most quintessentially "blogger" pieces posible.  Polka dots, mint, gold, and bows - including J.Crew and Kate Spade?  You can't be more appropriately attired for a blate than that!  But make sure you're following me on Instagram if you want to se what I'll actually be wearing...

Have a wonderful weekend, dear readers!  I hope that spring has finally arrived, wherever you are.  (Texas girls - you and your weather in the 80s already!  It snowed in London and parts of Virginia yesterday, did you know that?  Craziness.)  But here in DC it's supposed to be 64° today, 60° tomorrow, and 73° on Sunday.  Now that sounds like it's getting to be a spring weekend!
