Summer Fashion 2015: 8 Transitional Pieces To Add To Your Closet Now

Living in a part of the world that experiences four distinct seasons has its perks. We’re privileged to be able to frolic in the snow, bask in the sun, watch flowers blossom after a long winter and jump into a crisp pile of leaves when autumn rolls around.
The downside of the constantly changing weather and fluctuating temperatures is it can be a challenge to dress appropriately as we transition from season to season.
As we start to see the early signs of summer, don’t get caught in a wardrobe situation you’ll regret. Take a hint and shop these great transitional pieces that will help you ease seamlessly (and stylishly) from spring to summer.
