If you live anywhere with snow, you know there’s nothing better than when the weather starts to get warmer, and you can finally swap out those winter sweaters for lighter layers. For transitional seasons, like spring and fall, I think it’s really important to have good staples in your closet because the weather can change daily, and you need to be ready to adjust.

I choose a few areas around my house, mostly downstairs, and focus on those areas. Keep reading for my tips on decorating. I tried to link as much as I could, or find similar i ..read more
