Spring transition means jacket weather – and the leather (or faux) moto jacket has been a staple in the closet for quite some time.  I love that this grey version can be worn with so many options, while giving a refreshing break from basic black.  Layering a poplin underneath a sheer summer top makes this spring appropriate.  Speaking of taking breaks from basics – I can’t get enough of these dome hats from New York City-based Clyde.  It’s such a refreshing change from the usual fedora, isn’t it?

I often consider myself a fashion collector, and when shopping I’m usually drawn to pieces that portray a unique, creative idea.  This Ostwald Helgason top is one such piece.  The apple peel is an appliqué – unattached to the shirt and shows the sheer panel beneath.  Genius! The multi-panel Ellery skirt adds more dimension to the look, while giving the apple its glory.

What’s your go-to transitional look?  There’s still time to play with layering in DC.  Have fun with it while it lasts!
