I'm definitely a summer gal! By this time every year I'm craving summer dresses, floral tops and bright colors. Maybe it's the long hours spent at the office or the lack of sunshine, but the winter blues are definitely setting in. In efforts to brighten things up a bit, I like to incorporate my favorite summer pieces into my winter wardrobe. Not only does this expand my closet but my wallet as well!
