I feel like my preference for clothing style shifts depending on the season. In the summer, I can't get enough of billowy, breezy basics - the less structure, the better. Whereas in fall, I can't help but embrace my inner prepster, with pleated skirts, crewneck sweaters and lots of tailored coats. Even though I was only able to stay in this sweater until mid-morning before the heat set in, just wearing it made me feel like fall is just around the corner.
