Marissa: I’ve always had a thing for plaids. Besides being timelessly classic, they also work well in unique modern silhouettes. I had fun designing the duo color plaid styles, and now that they have arrived, I’m happily incorporating them into my spring wardrobe.

Marissa: Style these pieces together or separately. A little downward dog with my fur child Troy in the Caris Blouse and Leon Skirt. He obviously has better form than I do.

Marissa: The Elise Blouse was intentionally designed to be worn as a blouse, or a feminine layering piece – wear it as a soft blazer over a tee.

Marissa: The Kallisti Dress is not your ordinary lace dress. The removable plaid silk lining adds a unique twist. If you loved how it was styled on the runway, layer on the Avril Leather Vest.
