How to dress for summer... when it's still cold out


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.
