Fade.

I'm ready for a few more layers. Who's with me? 

This summer's heat waves are giving me the itch for fall. Leather, fur and cashmere here I come. 

Intermezzo.

The time has come for transition- from cold all over to some warmth in the sun- spring is poking its head up periodically. Some of my favorite recent after-groundhog's-day ensembles include layers, which, as always, work wonders.
