I picked up this skirt on my last trip down to Washington DC in one of my favorite shops: Violet Boutique. I have a little ritual when I travel to our nation's capital. I get a falafel lunch at Amsterdam Falafel, a beer (or 3) at the Black Squirrel, and then I buy myself something pretty at Violet. It's really my perfect afternoon, combining all of my great loves in life: fried food, beer, and shopping. The Scot is usually there too.
