Yesterday before I flew home from DC, we went to the Holocaust Memorial Museum.
It was free like the Smithsonians but very crowded even for a Monday morning. I’d recommend going at on off-time because battling the crowds can take away a little from the powerful experience.
But it was very moving – a lot of information to read, videos to watch, and tons of pictures which were pretty graphic.
Each person received a “passport” when entering the exhibit with a real person’s information from the Holocaust. At the end you found out whether your person survived or not.
I’d definitely recommend checking out the museum if you’re in DC!
Afterwards my friends dropped me off at the airport, I ate a Green Leaf’s salad and headed for home. (This article is about places to eat at the Washington Dulles airport)

And I wear them anywhere…
THE OUTFIT
Here’s the details on Saturday’s outfit:
The green shirt was from Walmart for $7, and the green knee high socks are from Target for $5. R and I picked out the same socks without even knowing it!
By the way, wearing a themed shirt was fun. Wearing a cotton shirt on a hot, humid day was not fun. By mile 2 I felt like my entire back was Saran wrapped.
The headband, necktie and necklaces are also from Target, each found in the $1 bin. Interesting factoid that I didn’t expect: the tie soaked up a ton of sweat and water. I would ring it out every couple miles so for you businessmen out there, get Dri-FIT ties.
The tie stayed on really well since it was basically choking me. The headband was a little harder and I had to readjust it a million times because of the headwinds. If you wear headgear you really need a strap under your neck. And if you wear dentist headgear, you’re just too cool to begin with.
The “running” tennis skirt was gifted to me by the tennis apparel company 10US. It worked great as a running skirt with built-in shorts and a nice lightweight material (performance nylon and spandex) that didn’t feel like it was too heavy even when sweaty.
And I liked the length – shorter but not too bootytastic short.
The logo is made with 240 Swarovski crystals… I don’t even think my engagement ring is that nice. It comes in blue, green, red, and white and the skirt itself comes in black or white.
The skirt is definitely pricey at $90, but 10US is going to give one of their fabulous sparkly creations away to one reader.
To enter the skirt giveaway tell me,
What would you bling out in Swarovski crystals?
Your cellphone, your toilet, your running shoes, your engagement ring, your bath tub?
I want to crawl inside this picture and live in it. source
The giveaway will end Friday, March 23nd. rules.

I would definitely bling out my favorite pair of black sexy stilettos. Sparkly stilettos = bangin’ outfit every time!
Can I answer the “what would you bling out” with ALL OF THE ABOVE!! I had my cell phone blinged out in pink sparkles for years and pretty much anything pink and sparkly makes me happy!! I may also be secretly hoping for a pink engagement ring

hmm I would bling my gym bag!!!
about the socks…I want to get a pair.
did you order true to size?
I am size 11 shoe so on the limit of both SM and L
but I am also pretty tall at 5’11″ and I want them to go up to my knees….
i ordered a S/M and they are tall, actually go a little over my knees and im 5’7″ if that helps at all.

I think I should get the L
thank you again I appreciate this!

I like subtle bling, so I would accent little stuff and make the boring stuff more exciting, like my daily agenda, a small design on my purse, my fancy fountain pen I use all the time…
Thanks a tip on the socks. I have been on the market for some more. I have been using 2XU one and they’re awesome, but pricey. I also highly recommend their compression tights, too.

I’d totally bling out my husband’s messenger bag that he takes to work. (He works in a gray cubicle, so he could use a dose of sparkly stuff!)
I found wearing a tight tech shirt under the themed cotton one works well. Of course, I’m usually running in sub-freezing temps when I do that (Jingle Bell and Turkey Trot runs) so maybe it doesn’t work with short sleeved shirts.
My rainboots could use some badazzling.
I’d bling out my iphone!
my sneakers-so when I don’t feel like lacing them up, I don’t have an excuse-they’d be too fabulous not to put them on!

Is it nerdy if I say I’d bling out my ereader? Yes? Ok, I’ll do my phone.
I regularly want to bedazzle my suit jackets, but crystals would be even better. I was on the fence about getting more compression socks…but then I read this… and bought more.
I’m glad you checked out the museum and shared your experience. I visited when I was 20 (and it was pretty empty) and it left a heavy impression on me. Two of my grandparents were one of the only survivors of the large families they came from…I wonder if they made it on a “passport”? There’s a museum in San Francisco too that I haven’t visited yet. It’s so amazing that DC offers museums for free…
I would bling out my running shoes and my jogging stroller (my kids would love that!). And since I usually run in just a sports bra – that could use some bling too

Thanks SR!
Just bought a pair of the pink compression socks!
I’ve been debating buying a running skirt for awhile now. The only reason I’m hesitating is because I’m not sure I can really rock it. Maybe the bling will help.
Kelly, not trying to take away from the 10US sale, but Skirt Sports is having a sale right now- some of their skirts are 50-65% off.

I’d bling out my dumb minivan. It’s already gold, but that doesn’t seem to stop it from being an actual dumb minivan. Maybe bedazzling the heck out of it would help? I guess it would still have the turning radius of a barge and a lower ground clearance than Marni. But it would draw the attention upward, right?
Definitely my running shoes!
Congrats at the race this weekend! I was there as well- I ran the half! I also wore a cotton shirt (St. Patrick’s Day of course) and the same target socks and was soooooo hot I had to pour water on my head towards the end of the race. This was my second half marathon and I PRd by 29 minutes!!
I think I would bling out my laptop… but then again a pair of sparkly heels does sound like a really good time

I would bling out my laptop.
