Seasonal changes comes with various changes in your lifestyles like the way you dress and the amount of sunscreen required or your skincare routine on a day to day basis. It can cause quite an impact on your everyday life so its always better to know the seasons around your area. Starting the season is always exciting. Buying new clothes is then easily justified. However, the transition between seasons doesn’t tend to be smooth, which means that, for a couple of weeks or even a month, deciding what to wear in the morning might prove to be more challenging than expected. A jersey dress with three quarter sleeves is perfect for those unpredictable days at the end of Summer. Fresh enough if it’s sunny – just add a pair of cute sandals and a scarf in case it gets cold – and it offers enough coverage to stay warm on a rainy day: just add a jacket on top and closed shoes. You can also wear it with tights if it gets that cold! The one most essential piece of clothing is that white shirt that we always need, be it shine or rain. Have a few accessories that help spice up your outfits. If I have a few layers to my look it’s easy to add or subtract pieces according to the weather. I find that bringing a jacket with me now is a good idea but it’s not really the time for a winter coat so I will use a denim jacket instead. It’s not too heavy, not too light and as a bonus it’s right on trend. I will usually pop one on over a slip dress with a tee underneath and I am set. If it warms up a bit it’s easy to push up the sleeves and leave my arms partially exposed.
