Alexandria, Virginia: Thrifted Style in Old Town

Autumn Sweater

Old Town Alexandria's Waterfront Park has captured the imagination of many Washingtonians. It beckons you with its sparkling marina and sweet, eclectic shops and restaurants for neighbors. And maybe because it's older than most of the District or maybe because it's on the Virginia side of the Potomac, everything there moves just a little slower, though still at Northern Virginia's head-swirling pace. Eden Haney put together this casual, thrifted look by stealing a cue from the Plus Size department. Just because you're not a 2XL doesn't mean you can't wear a 2XL sweater. Big means comfy and, in this case, elegant. -CS

We could slip away
Wouldn't that be better?
Me with nothing to say
and you in your autumn sweater
