Girls, it’s the anxiously awaited season! Time to tan your legs and brush the mothballs off that most important of seasonal rights—the spring dress. If you don’t have one, or you’re sick of your old one, or two or three or seven, we at the Voice recommend several Georgetown boutiques that you should visit.
Deep in the back of the Pet Gallery, a one-room pet store on O and Wisconsin, a voluptuous Italian woman with pale blue eye shadow and a thick accent pulled me aside. “In Italy, we like dog but we don’t dress them up like dees!” she said, gesturing towards the store’s merchandise, a look of confusion on her face. “Here, they are too pre-ppy.”
Another fall arrives, the season when girls shed their “hips don’t
lie” attitudes and wardrobes, to don the more tailored designs of
crisper weather. This season, we recommend pinning up the likes of
Katherine Hepburn on your wall. Or for a more feminine approach, order
Rosemary’s Baby on Netflix. We’ve got both looks on display in this
issue, and some in between, all inspired by fashions of the past.
