I've been biding my time for the weather to finally warm up so I could bust out this skirt. I've always been a sucker for vintage Ralph Lauren and I couldn't resist the wonderful French nautical print on this piece. Oh and I'm also quite enamored with these white mesh leggings I just got from American Apparel.
B and I were so lucky to have a visit from my good friend, Aj, and her fiance as an excuse to finally try out Corduroy last night. It was fabulous! I am rarely this satisfied by a meal from a DC restaurant, because too often it seems that they don't deliver on the whole meal (especially the entree). All of us strategized to order differently so we would be able to try as much of the menu as possible and I was not disappointed by a single thing that I tried. I ordered the tuna tartare with crispy onions and the roasted guinea hen with leeks and mushrooms, which even B, who is generally anti-poultry, enjoyed. We were also impressed by the wine list. We had the 2000 Château Mirebeau Bordeaux blend with dinner and I was pleasantly surprised to find a decent Chinon by the glass, which I usually have a hard time finding in the States. Overall, I would highly recommend this place and will be returning in the near future.

WOW, girl. I am kind of speechless. This skirt is beyond fantastic. I love the shade in your pictures, too.
I'm glad you had a nice meal at Corduroy! From that vintage, you sure know how to pick your wine! (I worked for several summers as a quasi-sommelier at a very fine dining restaurant on Martha's Vineyard.)

Oh E, I would definitely wear that ensemble here in the Tropics... you are gorgeous. I love your vintage skirt. xoxo
I can't possibly express how much I LOVE that skirt!!! I love vintage Ralph Lauren, too. That piece is such an incredible vintage find!!! WOW. I would have snatched that up in an instant! Enjoy! It looks really good on you.

Ohmygoodness. That skirt is fantastic!! Plus your styling is beyond chic. <3
And now I'm hungry. Haha.
oh my goodness E - so beautiful!! this is stunning!
amazing skirt!
I don't tend to eat at the higher end DC restaurants like you do, but I will admit I rarely am fully satisfied with a meal
Holy cow, I love that dress. It looks fantastic on you too!
AMAZING!!! That skirt is beyond fab and I love the entire look. Very patriotic, and makes me miss my HOME DC more and more. Must try Corduroy as soon as I get home for Memorial Day. Thanks for the review.

you look amazing! :D that skirt is fantastic! :D
lovely! that skirt is so unique, love the weather right now! Well it's actually kinda chilly but :)
Best mixing of prints ever!
I hate ordering wine in the states, everything tastes so different to back home - I usually just let others do it for me...
I love the skirt and top combo!
wow, gorgeous, E! ur vintage skirt is stunning and i love how u styled it with the striped blue top!

that is quite a silhouette!
This is striking!
Fab looking menu. Nice to see lamb on the menu, its not too often on the menu in the US. I had a root around in the on line wine list. there are some gems and at not too over the top prices.
My picks would be (from the old world) along side the red you guys had....
The second wine of Le Pez (1640) AT $61 is not bad, as is Pontet Canet (1605) at $81. I recently had the very same Givry they have (220) and its stunning value at $54, I paid more than that in £'s
Now... importantly,... wonderful look E!! I do love those shoes so much, you amaze me with what you think to pair them with, and they always works. In this case I think for me its all about angles! :D
I am not sure about the leggins but besides them the whole outfit is so goregous to me ! ;) I feel the summer already ;)
Am loving all the prints and color.. So pretty!
