Seasons! What Seasons!?

So one of the biggest dilemmas we shopaholics face is buying something that is appropriate to the season we are in. Of course, that's difficult when boots hit the stores in July and bikinis in January. Personally, I always feel hesitant to buy a summery dress in September -even if it is on sale- because I wonder how much I will really wear it in the coming season.

But wait! You no longer have to fear the changing of the seasons because I have come up with easy ways to transition your favorite summer purchases into fall ensembles. So before you take move those mini skirts and sandals into your storage closet, take my advice and create some style-worthy outfits that can withstand sun and snow.

A girly sundress may seem to flimsy to put up with the cold- in both material and attitude- but vamp it up with more sophisticated pairings (preferably in black) and a bold-hued accessory. 

Take your denim cutoffs away from the poolside and into the grungier cityscape. Layered shirts with plenty of sass and engineer boots give these laid-back staples some edge.

Take a cue from the Olsen twins and give your maxi dress a bohemian remix. Chunky coats and textured scarves give a nod to the seventies, but the polished black leather accessories bring this look to the present.

Give your lacy top some substance by pairing it up with these strong pieces. Play with proportions and fit and use heavier items to contrast against the soft lace.

Your playful romper can transition into a sleeker look with office-ready blazers and loafers. Rompers may be about looking playful, but you can also look poised.
