Hey ladies!  As we meander through the streets of D.C., it is no secret that the season is changing.  We’ve certainly been experiencing some mighty strange weather patterns lately.  One morning it’s sunny, beautiful and a little windy, then that afternoon it’s super-duper windy, cold and raining cats and dogs… I’m talking gale force winds!  In preparation for the inevitably unpredictable weather of the autumn season, there are several clothing items one should invest in to make this crazy weather a little more comfy and, dare we say, enjoyable.

This autumn season, layering is a must. Since the weather is so “wishy-washy” when it comes to temperature, a humongous winter coat is not often necessary.  A wind breaking jacket combined with a few layered items can often do the trick. Consider stocking up on a few vibrantly colored cardigans. Forever 21 and J. Crew have a variety of unique cardigans to offer.

Cardigans are great because they can be removed easily to adjust to warmer weather, and they can be added under a jacket to keep you warm in cooler weather.  Thermal leggings, worn under jeans or skirts, are also a must-have this season.  American Apparel and other retailers have an abundance of these. In addition, scarves can be very beneficial when it comes to keeping your neck and chest warm, helping to ward off cold and flu symptoms.  Urban Outfitters has plenty of scarves and wraps in stock to make sure you stay warm and healthy.

So, whether you’re en route to class, work, or just trying to enjoy the weekend, make sure you stay properly clothed during the season.  With any of the items mentioned in your wardrobe, you’re sure to have your weather woes under control!
