Weekly Workwear
I’m back with this series! Last week was cold and rainy, a belated effort from March to prove it had come in like a lion overlapping with April showers, and I was just so unexcited by what I had to wear in response. But now spring is properly and firmly here and I’m able to dress to match!
A 21st Century Desk for a Classic Home Office
Another change, which relates to home decor and is the reason for this post, is that I’ve gone from a single laptop that I brought to/from home and my hotdesk at work to external monitors in my office. Yep, I’ve finally joined the modern white collar workforce! I didn’t understand the appeal of having external monitors until I got them, and now I can’t live without them and my wireless keyboard and mouse.

I rewore a few pieces from last week: the striped sweater, Hobbs dress, and (of course) the jeans on my WFH days. I guess I was feeling sartorially uninspired - and I hadn’t actually managed to put everything away after wearing it all. Whomst amongst us, etc, right?

How many times does it take for a recurring post to become a series? It’s probably more than two, though two - without skipping a week - is definitely a start!
Peak Bloom at the National Arboretum
A few days before the famous cherry blossoms at the Tidal Basin were due to hit peak bloom, we headed to the National Arboretum to see what was in bloom there. The arboretum covers more than 450 acres in northeast DC and isn’t a big tourist spot, so we knew that it wouldn’t be as crowded as the Mall on a beautiful spring day. Even though the parking lot was full, we had plenty of room to run!
