Here's a fun fact about me: I break a sweat at basically the drop of a hat. Like, if I have to bend down to pick up a hat, I would probably start shvitzing. So despite the fact that the blistering D.C. heat dropped to a brisk 92 degrees yesterday, I still had to take all the necessary wardrobe precautions to meet up for brunch with Erin, Rosa, and Sara. (We're all now bbf--blog best friends. I would strongly encourage visiting their beautiful blogs!)

To celebrate the arrival of my newest Equipment top,  I made my mint pleat skirt play host for a day out in the city.

 My rhinestone necklace played chaperone, obviously.

And my Shoemint wedges tagged along because, well, they're kinda needy.

In addition to being a girls weekend, this past weekend was also Blogger Blitz DC. We nearly didn't make it to the event on Sunday night because we were too busy having so much fun (read: sitting in Northern Virginia traffic, omg). But thank god we did because it gave us an excuse to be obsessed with each other all over again.

 After picking up our glittery nametags...

 ...we did weird things like make paws with our hands...

...on more than one occasion...

...and take pictures of our shoes? I dunno, it just felt right at the time.

You bet your bottom dollar we were posing like REAL bloggers (see top picture) and making ridiculous faces...

 ...and then finally we just got straight lovey dovey:

When we were finally ready to move on from our own party of three, we eventually started meeting other bloggers, namely the ladies from Her Late Night Cravings and Erin from Currently Coveting, whom I've been blog-stalking for the past 6 months. She validated the reason I stalk her by both wearing this adorable outfit AND requesting Montel Jordan's classic "This is How We Do It."

There were several other very adorable bloggers, including a boy wearing mascara, that sadly I didn't have the opportunity to meet. It's like I said--we pretty much ignored everyone else in a very exclusive Mean Girls "on Wednesdays we wear pink" (or in this case, shades of lime green) kind of way. Sorry, but you can't sit with us!!!
