People Watching: On the National Mall

We took a quick trip down to the Natural History Museum today - you know, just to tell Henry the Elephant "what up." As we were driving along Jefferson looking for parking, I was people watching from the car window (a favorite pastime) and I saw a girl wearing this outfit:

It was the essence of summer. A sherbet-colored breezy top and cropped jungle green pants (anyone else go back to their Crayola roots when describing colors?) were an unexpected but surprisingly harmonious combination. I couldn't see her shoes, but I think gold sandals and accessories would work well with the warm tone of the top. She was carrying a slouchy hobo kind of bag and her hair was up in a messy bun. The Wayfarers kept it slightly sophisticated. The whole look had a classy but, at the same time, summery devil-may-care kind of vibe.
