(It's Sunday again and thus another post!)
Some people ask me why I love twitter. There are many reasons that I have become a bit of a twitter addict, from up to the minute political updates via Kady O'Malley, keeping up with friends in other places, or laughing reading the ridiculous posts of Texts from Last Night. Through twitter, I have met some super cool people in this fair town, and thanks to one of them in particular, I got to go to Fashion Week! (O-town style).
The fabulous Jes Lacasse, who is as cool in person as she seems on twitter (and who I really will get around to have come and help me deal with the madness that is my closet) had a contest on her blog for tickets to Fashion Week and through the power of random number selection I won!
One of my nearest and dearest and I got all gussied up (an exciting event for public servants) and trotted off in our heels to the National Gallery last night, which was a fabulous venue for the event. If you're ever wondering if people ever do get all gussied up in this government town, it does happen! There were many very snappy ensembles among the attendees.
With glasses of wine in hand and with VIP passes around our necks, we got into the second row so had a great view of all the shows. While some were a little... avant garde for our tastes, there were also some really cool designs. We didn't make too much fun of the craziest stuff or the really awkward models at times. Best of the night? Serendipity, beautiful vintage inspired clothes (I really want a wool skirt with an owl on it now). A few pics of the evening - thanks again Jes!
