Making the switch to women's fall styles

GROWING UP in New York City with a minuscule closet and an insatiable appetite for clothes meant that from a very young age I had to master what I call the seasonal switch. Every year, on a sweaty afternoon in early September, I swapped out my summer clothes for my fall ones, moving towering piles of shorts, white jeans, linen pants, miniskirts and sundresses out of the closet and onto my bed, my chair, my desk, even on top of my stereo.
