I wish I could be all like "SPRING HAS SPRUNG!" but unfortunately, I woke up to a light dusting of snow yesterday morning here in Pennsylvania.

However, tomorrow it will be a high of 70, but by Saturday (my birthday - woot! woot!) it will be back down to 36 degrees...

What's a girl to do!? TRANSITIONAL LAYERS! You can wear your cute, summery items in the Spring & Fall, it's all about how you layer it. Two of my favorite pieces are a trench coat and the always in rotation tights + boots combination.

Another key to making this look work? The all black-and-white color palette. Some may say boring, but I say classic, chic and season-less!

This AMI Clubwear dress in a leopard print makes a bold statement on it's own, while the Hello Kitty purse is just the right amount of kitschy.

You could easily wear a variation of this look all year round -- i.e. Throw a turtleneck under the dress and add fleece leggings for winter, or lose the jacket and tights for summer.

Disclosure: Some of the pieces in this outfit were received free-of-charge from AMI Clubwear. All views are my own.
