It's that confusing time of year: It's still warm, but my favorite brands are promoting all things fall. Jeans and boots are slowly trickling into my shopping cart, but it's not quite time to break out my sweater collection. That puts me in this weird in-between place where all I can really do is shop for transitional pieces—the items that'll take me from summer to fall and beyond. So right now, I'm sticking to the essentials from Amazon: dresses I can wear bare-legged or with tights; tops that are also great for layering; lightweight pants and jackets that'll keep me looking stylish. Keep scrolling for everything you should be adding to your cart right now.
