People Watching: Ballston Crosswalk

Taking a break from Girl Friday, since we started up our new September feature this week. Don't worry, it'll be back next Friday!

I always try to take advantage of sitting at red lights by using the time to people watch. Especially in the downtown areas of Arlington and DC -- it's a treasure trove of fun outfits. Although it annoys me when all I see are joggers in their Under Armour or neon workout gear... I feel like they're wasting my time. Hahaha.

On Tuesday, as I sat at a light in Ballston, I happened to catch a glimpse of a girl wearing something like this:
 
I loved that she used a simple palette, but kept it interesting by matching stripes with a little bit of tribal print. Since the print was on her sandals, it added an element of surprise and personality to what looked like a pretty normal outfit. It's that attention to seemingly small details that made the outfit uniquely hers.

Go and do likewise.
