We all know that cleaning out closets can be a nuisance because of the questions that inescapably come along with it. How often do I wear this? Is it still in style? How do I look? How much longer can I wear it?
On the upside, it's the opportune time for finding the pieces you really love, especially the ones that can be carried over into the upcoming season.
Take for example a one piece jumpsuit that is appropriate for both the summer and fall. In the summer it can be worn by itself with a pair of flats/ sandals, or in the fall with a cardigan and booties.

Other examples of “carry-overs” include a maxi skirt-worn with a simple tank in the summer or boots and a jacket in the fall- the classic chambray shirt, quarter sleeve blazers, and neutral-toned handbags.

So if you find yourself out shopping or organizing the closet, look for the pieces that make transitioning a tad easier.
