the weather has been so weird here lately!  a few weeks ago, i thought we were skipping spring and going straight for summer, and this week had us breaking out coats (and umbrellas!) again.  it’s that weird transition from one season to the next, where you’re wearing clothes for a range of temps, mornings in the 40s or 50s and afternoons that run up to the 60s or 70s.  a leather jacket is one of those great transition pieces that lets you wear a summery pieces without it looking too summery.  something you can throw on in the morning or in the evening to bridge the gap.  i have been wearing mine with anything from yoga pants to dresses the last few weeks –  it adds just the right amount of edge and makes me feel a little more pulled together without a lot any effort.  personally, i like to play with proportion, and wear something a little more flowy and feminine under mine to keep it from looking too ‘hard’.  enter the loose-fitting t-shirt, white lace top, and of course, the sundress.

meet mere’s sweet assistant derby blair.  isn’t she the cutest!?!  we were having a moment.
