So, my driver, you may know him as Greyhound, was kind enough to take me on a lovely drive from Baltimore down to Norfolk, Va, with only a brief stop in Richmond, Va.

Untapped…Indie Fashion Week DC
So, what happens when you attend a DC Indie Fashion week for the first time? Well, since I didn't know what to expect, I basically kept wearing the wrong outfit, lol.

Although I knew I'd be exhausted, I checked Eventbrite and as an avid supporter of all-things-Baltimore, I just had to purchase tickets to Stomp the Runway for Autism run by Derrick Dixon.

So, for Day 2 Show 1 of NNYFW (Naomi's NYFW) my stylist/personal assistant (me lol) had provided me with an excellent itinerary.
