Just Like the Good Ol' Days

My dear friend and former college roommate, Raechel, came to visit last weekend since she was unable to attend my pirate-party weekend.  It's been awhile since she's been to visit so it was fun for me to show off my new house and catch up with her.

Friday night we stayed up late giggling and telling stories (like a 3rd grade slumber party) and then Saturday we headed to Eggspectations for a hearty breakfast before traveling into DC to visit the Newseum.  It was a  chilly, rainy day so an excellent one to spend inside a museum. 

In the evening, we went home to change and get ready before heading back out again for dinner and drinks... we also played a fun, impromptu round of rate-a-date. Sunday we woke up late and then went to breakfast and shopping before Raechel headed home. All in all, it was a great visit!

I rarely wear jeans, but heading out into the fall rain while posing as a tourist definitely called for denim. I wore Anthropologie's safekeeping capelet from 2010 with a cream top and jeans.  It was definitely a cozy outfit for the day!
