Experts say that spring is going to come early this year – and by experts, we mean Wiarton Willie, the Groundhog. And over the past week, we finally got a taste of sunny days and temperatures in the positives after a long period of gloom, hinting that spring is somewhat near! The “in-between” seasons can be difficult to dress for, as your winter coat may not be necessary, but you still can’t dare to go out in just a sweater, either. This is where transitional wardrobe staples come in! With some key transitional fashion pieces, dressing for pre-spring will be a breeze. 

These transitional wardrobe pieces will effortlessly take you into the spring season!
