Every day I have to make the difficult decision of what I’ll be wearing. Sometimes I’ll stay up late the night before deciding or putting together an outfit for the next day, just so I don’t have to waste time in the morning.
However, this plan hardly works out this time of year because the Texas weather is so unpredictable.
As we now approach mid-October, when is it the right time to start wearing fall clothes?
I’ve been told that after Labor Day is the time to start putting away your thin summer shirts, and bring out your cardigans. I actually don’t find myself doing this, instead in September I still find myself wearing nearly the same clothes I did when it was summer time. I find myself still wearing sandals all through October.
As we’re approaching mid-October now, I like to check the weather for the upcoming days and just barely start to get out my fall clothes ready to wear. I don’t find myself fully transitioning my wardrobe in one setting.
I slowly start to bring it out and eventually it’s all found hung up in my closet once again.
Being a commuter student doesn’t give me the freedom to change my entire outfit in the middle of the day if the weather changes.
I find myself wearing the wrong choices of outfit that don’t match the weather on most days during the season. For instance, when I wake up in the morning and it’s dark and chilly I’ll wear blue jean pants and a long sleeve shirt. Then later on when I get to school the sun will unexpectedly come out and the temperature will suddenly rise with heat.
A lesson I’ve learned in being in this type of situation, is to just layer my clothes.
Wearing jeans, a thin shirt and scarf or jacket in the morning when it’s cooler and removing the scarf or jacket once it’s warmed up for the day. So, is there really any way to prepare a start into transitioning wearing fall and winter clothes with the Texas heat?
We just have to be patient and constantly keep up with the forecast.
