Unlike other parts of the country where the orange leaves and spiced apple cider clue you into the changing season, all we’ve got are our toes.

When they start shivering in flip-flops, you know that summer is indeed over.

That’s when it’s time to trade in the light-and-airys for something a little more substantial — like the debut collection from local label Love, Jetsy.

Done in a thick wool jersey, the six ladylike and slightly retro styles come in rich hues like stem green and table red. Standouts include Tennessee (a rock-and-roll, smocked bodice baby doll), Gia (a belted faux-wrap dress), and Zipper (a long-sleeve sexy librarian look that hits below the knee).

Love, Jetsy is ready to be your spring fling, too. You’ll just have to wait till March to get your hands on the cotton voile hooded caftan and handkerchief linen housedress.

But that’ll leave you plenty of time to fall in love.
