Year-Round Closet Staples
Confession: I get crazy excited to switch my wardrobe from spring/summer to fall/winter. As soon as mid-September hits, a few weekend hours are devoted to doing the swap. I close the door, blare music, and our room becomes a tornado in which clothes fly into heaps that I somehow deem organized. Once the warm-weather gear is carefully sorted, folded and put away, the sweaters, boots and scarves emerge, and I get giddy with excitement over the new outfit possibilities.
This year, there’s been a biiiig problem with this routine, though. Fall has been coming at a snail’s pace (Today in Chicago it’ll be 80 degrees – what?!) and the Indian Summer means I’ve been constantly confused at what to wear. All the knit and plaid has been on hold as I’ve reached for the items in my closet that work year round – you know, the ones that never make “the swap.” The 365 day staples, if you will.
