One of my favorite times of the year is always when we're getting ready to embark on a new chapter. Transitioning from summer to fall is my specialty because I love buying evergreen pieces and finding new ways to style my summer pieces. I live in New York City, so I'm sure you can imagine how much storage space I have. Before every summer begins, I send all of my winter things to my parents' basement for safekeeping. So when things start to cool down, I tend to get creative with my summer wardrobe until I have a chance to go home and collect my baggage. I fear the day that I'll need to shove all of my clothes into my own closet, but we'll worry about that problem when it arrives.
So now more than ever, it's important to start buying pieces I can wear for several months to come. Below, you'll find 35 items that I think will effortlessly help me transition from season to season.
