I was doing a bit of spring fall cleaning the other day, and realized that my wardrobe is way too full of summer clothes for living in an area that really only gets to experience true summer weather two, maybe three, months of the year.

Ok, in all fairness, this was not the first time I realized this, but such has not stopped me from continuing to invest in loads of sundresses with bright, springy prints and colors. So, I’m feeling it necessary to find a way to transition them for fall. A bit of leather, some browns, blacks, and navy, plus jackets + blazers should do just the trick.

Do you invest in a fully separate fall//winter wardrobe, or do you make your dresses last all year?
