"Plenty of people suffer from Seasonal Affective Disorder but unfortunately my malady has an extra consonant in there--I&amp;#x27;ve long been afflicted with SAWD, or Seasonal Affective Wardrobe Disorder, that perennial paradox of what to wear when the weather changes. In my struggle to stay fresh for fall, I&amp;#x27;ve discovered one style secret that never fails. Along with the annual closet switchover (I&amp;#x27;m scheduled to do one this weekend, and all kinds of excited about the clothes I&amp;#x27;m going to shop for in my own closet! Last night I busted out a blazer from The Limited that was at least 9 years old and got so many compliments on it!) I have one fall fashion ritual I never miss. My favorite trick for getting dressed in a sometimes tricky season is something my friends and I call &amp;quot;Winter Top, Summer Bottom.&amp;quot; How to wear it: Pair a cold-weather piece on top with a warm-weather piece on bottom and you are good to go. Some of my favorite combinations are a wool turtleneck with a miniskirt, a pair of shorts with a long-sleeved cardigan, a black leather jacket with floral dress, or an oxford-style button down shirt and cashmere sweater with a short denim skirt. It works for a few reasons, most importantly because it allows you to mix pieces you already own from other seasons with the few fall items (like lightweight sweaters) you&amp;#x27;ll actually buy, so your wardrobe stretches much farther. It also creates a contrast, which is widely accepted to be a fashion DO. Just like the concept of a feminine floral dress with a pair of Doc Martens or a glamorous sequined skirt with a vintage T-shirt, the &amp;quot;Winter Top, Summer Bottom&amp;quot; combo looks so wrong, it&amp;#x27;s right. What do you guys think? Will you try &amp;quot;Winter Top, Summer Bottom&amp;quot;? What are your secrets for transitioning your wardrobe when seasons change?
