How To Love Jersey:
When it comes to comfort there is nothing better then good quality sueded jersey but the key word here is good quality. I've talked about this before but it bares repeating, look for a thicker or '2 ply' jersey. We always read that jersey is one of the most flattering, easy to care for and perfect for travel but we end up getting frustrated because it seems to do none of that for us. It clings to our body and is flimsy, it ends up highlighting flaws we didn't even know we had but it is the quality that is the issue. There is no one that does jersey better then James Perse but it comes at a cost, skirts starting at 198.00 so it may be out of our price range. Get on the mailing list they do HUGE end of season sales that are worth it. You can also find it at Nordstrom Rack, Saks Off Fifth and even ebay making it cost effective without losing the quality but beware it can quickly become an addiction. I also am addicted to his t-shirts they fit perfectly and look great.
