When I was in NYC earlier last month, I decided to visit a few stores that we don’t have yet in DC, including, & Other Stories. I have heard a lot about the store and, while I had visited their online store, I wanted my first experience to be an in-person adventure as opposed to an online-only introduction. So, on one gorgeous (and hot) afternoon, I headed down to Soho for a little shopping adventure. I ended up leaving the store with two items that I simply loved – a really cool nail ring that I will showcase later and an amazing lace blouse. This blouse is a stunning work of art. I decided to pair it with my favorite pair of Banana Republic off-white pants (try this fit and color), my reliable Ferragamo bag, and my royal blue Halogen peep-toe booties (similar pair here) for a clean, elegant, classy look. I hope you enjoy!
