Transition into Fall with Lighweight Sweaters

July 27th, 2010 by admin

There are only four days left of July. I know, a very startling thought. August acts as a bridge from summer to fall: the temperatures drift into the 70s and 60s, kids return to school, and we bid farewell to summer. To prepare you for such a transition, we have picked out a few favorite lightweight sweaters. Easy to add to any ensemble, these cardigans and pullovers will defend you from a nighttime breeze or the chill of an overly air conditioned room.
