Ooo is that silk, I envy you your UK weather.
Laura, so much wisdom in your post. I enjoy switching things out in the closet and the surprise of rediscovering them after several months. It also keeps me from tiring of them, especially prints.
Grandfashionista, your post reminded me that summer things don't often last more than a season, especially tops that take the brunt of the sweatiness.
Texstyle, what a great idea to have similar pieces in different fabrications! That would make seasonal changes more seamless.
LaPedestrieen, it sounds like climate figures prominently into your choices.
