Frock Fridays: Layer It Up

You know how much I love jersey dresses, right?  Well, I have to share something kind of important: jersey and I are taking a bit of a break.  We decided it would be best for our relationship to spend some time apart.  It wasn't anything personal - although I did feel that static cling was starting to come between us - but I think that we'll be stronger in the long run if I take this opportunity to see what else is out there.

And I can tell you that I am not regretting the decision, dear readers!  How cute is this bird-print dress by Poem?  There was an Oliver Bonas shop right near my flat in Clapham and I used to stop in every weekend to check out their new pieces, but you can order their cute dresses online even if you're not in the UK.  The dress is lightweight crêpe de chine, so as we ease out of winter I'd love to layer it over a white long-sleeved tee with these slouchy gray suede boots and a gray suede biker jacket like this one.  Add some simple accessories - like this Marc by Marc Jacobs gold watch and these pearl studs - plus a classic crossbody leather bag, and I think we've got a date.

If you're in the path of Nemo, I wouldn't advise this outfit.  But it's warmish and rainy in DC today, so if spring really does make an appearance in the next few weeks, as Punxsutawney Phil predicts, you might see me running back to jersey sooner rather than later...
