Recently, Angi and I have been discussing some future goals for this blog. This includes what type of shoots we hope to do in the future and what direction we intend to take ‘The Sweltering Sweater’. Although we love sharing our looks, we know that there are a multiple styles we have not even looked at, captured or shared. A goal we hope to accomplish through this blog is to portray the beauty of individualistic styles. Nikki is the progressive start of reaching that goal. 

We began our evening at the Guthrie.

 Nikki’s first outfit is a winter sweater from Kohl’s, black leggings, a “pick Jesus” necklace and converse footwear.

 The next outfit she changed into was a graphic bro tank, a draped cardigan, aztec-like leggings and combat boots.

Yes, her top does say “I flew here on my unicorn.”

Next we ventured to my new favorite coffee shop, Espresso Royale.

 Nikki wore a Pink Floyd top, galactic leggings and stuck with her combat boots.

A post by Angi, the coolest Russian ever:

About a month back sassy Kevin and I took a weekend trip down to beautiful DC!

There was a lot to see! Many places we visited and many many more that we had to skip over for now. We saw the city by bike.

I tried to dress comfortably for the occasion! On my feet I wore my favorite worn In pair of vans that treated me extremely well until the very very end of the trip. On top I wore my very favorite cardigan that I at one point picked up from target. To finish off the outfit I added in a floral scarf, just to add a little splash of color!

Kevin just wore a bro tank.

There were many others we saw along this trip ranging from classy older ladies to adorable wobbling toddlers, and cute puppies. Not that the dogs dressed very well.

It seemed that most people in this city were dressing to impress! Or at least going for cute comfy looks to get them through long days spent looking at tourist attractions.

Like this man, casually tucking in his shirt. He’s prepared for anything with his shades on and umbrella in hand.

The weather was a bit unpredictable.

You could say that DC had some “killer” coffee! We had to stop at just about every cute cafe we came across and it was worth it every time!

 We were very proud of ourselves 16 miles into the bike ride!

Little did we know it was only about half way through.

It’s not too often that I venture out of my comfort zone and embrace nature, in fact, most of the time I avoid it. I don’t like camping, I don’t like bugs, and the sun burns me with it’s fiery passion. But for Shannon, I did. Down by Fort Snelling, Shay and I caught up, took a hike and watched the sunset. My ankles may be sore, but it was totally worth it!
