Dresses and skirts are not only for spring and summer. If you have any sundress or skirt in a dark color or pattern you can easily throw on a pair of opaque tights or knee-high stockings for an autumn feel. Then, just add a pair of boots or lace-up oxfords and a sweater, and you will have a practically brand new outfit for nothing.

3. KNEE HIGHS AND DRESSES
- Although they might be tricky to style, crop tops can work for fall. While it might be too cold out to expose your stomach, layer a lightweight long sleeve under your crop top in a contrasting summer for a fun look. This look can look great with a pair of skinny jeans and a scarf. Use this tip with the summer dress too. One piece can take your outfit to a grown up look of the once childhood jumper!
4. BEACHY WAVES IN WINTER

- And as for those beachy summer waves, you can keep rockin’ that style well into winter. Make your own salt water by using a spray bottle, water, and just table salt, and spray to wet hair. The texture and style will look great under a pair of earmuffs or headscarf.
Although the skies may be dark and the wind cold, don’t be afraid to add a bit sunshine to your days with some nostalgic summer pieces. It will remind you that winter is not forever and summer is on its way!
