How to dress for summer... when it's still cold out
![](http://images.girlslife.com/posts/021/21125/wedges521.jpg)
The birds are chirping, the flowers are
blooming – yep, it’s definitely not winter anymore. That means we can finally
stop layering on all that wool and start filling our closets with all those
warm-weather pieces that we’ve been dying to wear for months. While it’s not
quite time to pull out those flip-flops and bikini tops yet, there are still
plenty of summertime staples that we’re excited to start rocking now.
