A Case For…Spring Sweaters
It’s not actually warm enough for T-shirts and little dresses just yet, but the idea of putting on a coat is so…GAH. This is why you need to invest in a seasonally appropriate sweater—not some knit thing you bought to go with boots and tights but one that speaks to the warmer weather to come, with airy weaves and this-side-of-Easter colors. Here are four I’m feeling. —erica
1) Dace Mellow sweater: Who knew a pastel mash-up could look so chic—or could work with red pants?
2) A.L.C. rugby striped cotton sweater: As appealingly preppy as a pair of boat shoes.
3) Something Else zip side sweater: If you need a breeze, you can just unzip.
4) Lauren Manoogian Cane top: The crazy knit delivers some attitude, but the very basic color keeps it tremendously wearable.

Known Entities: Joan Didion
This is hardly a revelation, but most writers aren’t known for their style. Joan Didion, though—she looks exactly like you want her to, and that makes her descriptions of Maria Wyeth and Inez Victor’s aesthetics feel even more on-point. —erica
The essentials:
An anorak that says serious journalist—ideally a size too big. / Like: Funktional GI Anorak
Something flowy and vaguely hippieish, for blending in on Haight Street. / Like: Something Else by Natalie Wood slit silk maxi skirt
A scarf that can be worn any which way, with any which outfit—and used like a blanket on long trips to Hawaii. / Like: We Are Owls Chantilly lace scarf

Of a Kind
I tried this dress on over the weekend, and, god, it makes me wish I didn’t have boobs. It’s like the perfect modern summer wrap dress—not at all fancy but could be if you layered on the jewelry. I’ve been obsessed with the Something Else by Natalie Wood (not that Natalie Wood) stuff for a while now but still need to find something to actually own.
