There were many a dandy and quaintrelle on the streets of DC this Sunday afternoon, including myself. We had so much fun dressing up and riding from Lincoln Park to Stroga in Adams Morgan.
Many ladies had on high heels and everyone was dressed to the nines. I will be expanding my tweed collection in preparation for next year and also looking for some seersucker for the summer ride. Ride info here on Dandies & Quaintrelles: Redemption through Style.

Look, they just had the same thing in Bogotá this weekend! I was sad that I missed it (I only just heard about it), since I even have some appropriate clothes here now...

("cachaco" is a slang term in Spanish that's hard to translate, it doesn't mean "tweed" but rather "elegant" and maybe even "dandy-ish." It's also a slang term for "resident of Bogotá," especially the stereotypically old-fashioned, traditional type of person you often find here.)

("cachaco" is a slang term in Spanish that's hard to translate, but it doesn't mean "tweed" exactly. It's more like "elegant" or "dandy" in an old-fashioned sense. It is also a slang term for "resident of Bogotá," especially for the stereotypically traditional and formal kind of Bogotano.)
