My favorite season is almost upon us, and I'm already adding knits and corduroy to my cart. This moment, where summer blends to fall, is when you can start wearing pants and cardigans without absolutely sweating and without needing a heavy coat or three layers of undershirts. It's perfect.
It’s also the time when shopping feels the most exciting—when the pieces you buy can actually carry you through the shift. A lightweight sweater tossed over a slip dress, boots that look just as good with bare legs as they do with tights, a jacket that works for a late dinner al fresco now and for chilly coffee runs in October. Pre-fall is all about versatility, and the items I’m eyeing are the kind that will pull me together even in those in-between weeks where the weather can’t quite decide.
