transition time...

It's that awkward time of year where it's cold, wet and rainy, yet the stores are stocked full of warm-weather attire. What's a stylish gal like you supposed to do?

It's all about transition pieces.

Can't get enough of Spring's nautical-inspired lightweight tees? Try layering one under a cozy knit cropped sweater or throw on a leather jacket for a tough-girl edge.

Obsessed with the bright, bold colors gracing the runways? Mix them with last Fall's must-have neutrals until the sun starts shining. I love camel and orange, ivory and fuchsia, gray and yellow... Or try adding a pop of color with a bright bag, bangle or hat.

Flipping for florals but still embracing black? Tie a patterned lady-like silk scarf around your neck to break up your monotone ensemble.

Daydreaming about wedges and open-weave oxfords? Pair them with tights or trousers until the temperatures start to rise.

Love sheer silk blouses and all things sleeveless? Throw on an oversized cashmere sweater or fur vest to stay warm and add texture.

Now pick up some of Spring's must-haves and don't fret when the weather takes a turn for the worse. Pack an umbrella (perhaps its time to trade in that tired animal print for floral?) and be prepared for compliments... Confidence is the best accessory, beside SUNGLASSES (of course).

Stay tuned and always stay stylish
