Wear it now. Wear it later. Summer to fall fashion.

Yes, you can wear your frothy summer dresses in the winter. Just add tights, booties and a cozy sweater. And one really fabulous necklace.

For most of us, though, fall weather is still elusive- days are still warm, but there's a chill in the morning and evening air, a faint hint that fall is coming. Stay warm with an airy crocheted wrap that's easy to remove when the mid-day temperature rises.
