Yes, there is such a thing. I had a blast this past Thursday at the DC Fashion Week Networking Party. They're few and far between in this city, but suddenly "my people" were everywhere: fashionistas, models, boutique owners, bloggers, and of course, makeup artists. All were packed into the dimly lit and extra fabulous Dirty Bar.

What I love about our little local scene is that there is a ton of indivualism and expression, without the snobbery or competition (nobody really cares who the skinniest or the youngest is around here). I saw some amazing outfits and beautiful faces, but of course was too busy having a great time playing the patented DC card-trading game to take any pictures. Luckily Nicole from The Seventh District captured much of the fabulousness in her post (by the way, one of those feet is mine! ha!).

Hands down the best part of the evening was getting to spend it with Julie, owner of the amazing Violet Boutique and one of my besties for the past 8 years or so. After spending many years trying to figure out what exactly to do with ourselves, with both ended up owning businesses that revolve around around what we love, and now we get to go to parties together and call it "work".

The DC fashion scene is definitely starting to heat up, and I can't wait to go to more events like this and keep meeting beautiful people!
