Knit and layers

Knit and layers is the softest Dahlia gets, which is not very soft. Ribbed turtlenecks under slip dresses, oversized knits over leather trousers, a fitted knit dress that holds its own under a long coat. Charcoal, black, bone, the occasional chocolate. These looks belong to autumn and winter, to coffee that runs long, to libraries she visits for the light, to offices that are really just hotel lobbies with laptops. The layering is the point: every piece works on its own, and by the end of the evening it usually has to.
