Transitional Pieces for Spring
Animal skin is thick and durable enough to protect you from adverse weather, but easy enough that it can be thrown off the moment the temperature rises. Choose one that is lined for added resilience.

Yes, we said it. Take a nod from the spring runways and don one of these head-turners. They offer chic head (and hair) protection when a hat is too much. Plus, they can be a great way to cover up frayed tresses between stylist visits.

Warmer weather doesn't mean it's going to stop raining! Wellies are great for getting you where you need to be when the weather's muggy - instead of side-stepping every puddle, you can charge through them and come out unscathed. Plus, they're really cute paired with shorts.
