It’s with a heavy heart that I annually resign to the idea that autumn is fast-approaching.
But there are positives to seasonal change ... including the opportunity to don sweaters, jeans, and more fall favorites as the leaves begin to change.
We’re not quite there. But as we navigate the end of summer and early fall, I’m turning to seasonally-versatile options. That transitional wardrobe includes lightweight sweaters, sweater tops, dresses — the list goes on.
Check out a few options below to add to your late summer and early fall rotation.
