Step into fall in style with 6 perfect transition pieces

Fall clothes are simply the best, and everyone knows that. However, what most people mean by 'fall clothes' is boots, scarves, sweaters and the like, all of which are fabulous, but really only clothes you can wear once it truly starts to get chilly. What about the autumn months that are still warm and a little unpredictable weather-wise? This is what we would call a transitional period -- when your wardrobe definitely shifts but you haven't quite arrived at sweater weather yet -- and it can be hard to come up with outfits during this time.

Fear not, we've got you covered! The key to early fall fashion is to layer, so you're prepared for a sunny day and an occasional chill in the air. Click through the slideshow above to see our picks for the perfect early-autumn outfit.
