Cold Morning, Hot Afternoon

In Central Texas, this is our October and November reality.

It seems as though the weather can never truly make up its mind here in Austin. As the seasons change in late September to early October, it's sometimes hard to decide what to wear when getting ready in the morning since the weather can change so drastically throughout the day. Aside from the obvious fashion issues that arise, there are health issues that also come into play. For example, if we dress for the heat of the afternoon in the morning, we might catch a cold - not cute, at all.

Soooo......I came up with three strategies that I (try to) use in these awkward Central Texas weather months.

Here we go:

(1) Take. Your. Umbrella. With. You. I have too many stories about being stuck in the rain without an umbrella. Walking unprotected in the rain has so many consequences from ruined hairstyles and clothes to catching a cold.

(2) A light jacket and a cute beanie = fashion staples. I probably sound like Captain Obvious here but wearing a light jacket that you can just throw in your bag later is the best way to combat this type of weather. Also, a cute beanie can help protect your head from cool weather and when it gets warmer you can easily take it off without ruining your hairstyle underneath.

(3) Layers on layers on layers. Top, light jacket, scarf, outer jacket, pants/skirt, leggings, leg warmers, socks, boots....too much? But seriously, layers are the answer to keeping your style on point through weather changes without suffering from the temperature extremes.

Stay warm and stay cute! :)
