Normally I'm still solidly in my summer clothes this time of year. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283794 Sat, 01 Oct 2022 10:59:40 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2283794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One advantage—I just realized I haven’t touched a washing machine in a month! Am now forcing myself to wash summer clothes, because I’m doing laundry anyway, am almost out of undies! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283631 Fri, 30 Sep 2022 09:31:20 +0000 approprio 2283631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weather here is mild and very wet. No need for big coats just yet, but I have resurrected my old rain boots.&nbsp;</p> <p>I am always amazed at how short the transitional season is. This is why I like to dress in layers. I am a complete convert to the quilted vest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283574 Thu, 29 Sep 2022 23:05:59 +0000 Zaeobi 2283574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>@SF Not when it's also 86% humidity - even lightweight rain ponchos end up sticking to me because of the moisture! Have to bring an extra commuting shirt with me (&amp; possibly underwear) - TMI haha sorry! </p> <p>I'm the same way with the AC - at least I can take a shower during the day, but not when I'm (trying to be) asleep... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283452 Thu, 29 Sep 2022 04:43:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2283452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Zaeobi, 26 sounds perfect—as a high temp! Over here I’ve just caved and turned on the heat for the first time this winter. Germans usually do it the other way ‘round, cutting it off at night, but I can’t sleep when it’s cold. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283439 Thu, 29 Sep 2022 00:48:29 +0000 Zaeobi 2283439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's 26C this morning but raining heavily (thunderstorms). The UK may have prepared me for 'wet' &amp; windy', but I have no idea how to dress for 'wet &amp; humid' - especially with an outdoors commute! </p> <p>On the plus side, I managed to wear jeans for the first time this year (since it's finally dropped below 35C here) - one of the upsides of having closet space so small that every season must fit in there at once, lol... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283365 Wed, 28 Sep 2022 15:36:23 +0000 Anonymous 2283365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck finding those non-skinny full length pants. &nbsp;They are easier to find this year than last. &nbsp;Highs in The 40'sF &nbsp;are predicted for the coming week. That probably means frosty evenings or rain. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283355 Wed, 28 Sep 2022 14:18:42 +0000 Jules 2283355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Same here! The window to wear cropped pants, bare ankles and transitional shoes is pretty much non existent, which makes me sad. Need to acquire some non skinny full length pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283353 Wed, 28 Sep 2022 14:13:52 +0000 Angie 2283353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Weather patterns are chaotic, and likely to remain so. We need a good mix of everything! <b>Cjh</b>, I'm sure you'll wear the transitional capsule at some point :)&nbsp;</p> <p>Seattle is having its hottest September on record. But cold in the morning and at night.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283340 Wed, 28 Sep 2022 12:17:37 +0000 Olive Green 2283340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find it pretty easy to transition now that I have a full fall and winter wardrobe carry over from our years in Taos. Needing gear mostly in retirement. Casualizing is wonderful, even if I long for a nice strict wool coat to attend imaginary future events.&nbsp;<br />In fact, I look a little formal for our neighbourhood, but do not mind. We all look like we are about to break out into yard work, lol.&nbsp;<br />Taking trips in RV and motor coach has solidified what works over changing climate.&nbsp;<br />Starts with cloth vest, to down vest, to jacket, a shacket, padded jacket, down jackets. Lurking are long down coat for the real winter mornings.&nbsp;<br />Realize am missing a real rain jacket, but had those and they never got wear. So, umbrella ☺️</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283331 Wed, 28 Sep 2022 11:12:19 +0000 LaPed 2283331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hah, yep! The warm weather was so slow to arrive here that I ended up keeping everything but my warmest parka and snow boots out and in easy reach. And now the cold has returned so abruptly I'm glad I didn't bother putting them away! I still feel like I'm scrambling to remember how to dress though.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283330 Wed, 28 Sep 2022 11:04:47 +0000 unfrumped 2283330@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes and yes.<br /> Also I tend to have more clothing in the mild- cool temp range than I can actually wear. I keep buying in that range because I like a light sleeve, like 3/4- LS T’s and thin sweaters and button- front shirts, and pants with some structure but washable. But sometimes it seems like I go from shorts to fleece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283324 Wed, 28 Sep 2022 07:47:20 +0000 bella 2283324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agh! I hear you! Our transitional weather is more consistent from day to day, but there is a huge temperature change throughout the day (from the low 50s to 80 F). One has to layer and then carry half your wardrobe on your back like a turtle for most of the day. Not fun, especially if you have a long day and an even longer commute on public transport. - thankfully I don't need to do that anymore.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283322 Wed, 28 Sep 2022 06:17:17 +0000 Bijou 2283322@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it is happening in the opposite way here in Australia. We went from maximum temperatures of 18C last week to 30C this week. I love the low to mid 20's as my ideal temperature. I am playing mini golf with DS tomorrow and know we will need to be lathered in sunscreen and have iced water to make sure we don't get burnt or dehydrated.</p> <p>I am hoping that the temperatures will drop a bit next week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283308 Wed, 28 Sep 2022 03:48:00 +0000 rachylou 2283308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We are just heading into peak Fire season… having now only the seasons Fire and Less Fire… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283225 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 19:15:26 +0000 Jenn 2283225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Color me envious. 97° today (hi chewyspaghetti!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283200 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 16:53:35 +0000 JAileen 2283200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In 2 1/2 weeks we went from 106 to 40, with heavy smoke and hail in the middle. &nbsp;But it’s warm today and I’m wearing shorts. &nbsp;I have a ukulele class later today and I might switch to cropped pants which seem more dressed up. &nbsp;:)<div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283197 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 16:15:45 +0000 Star (Lise) 2283197@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your sweater and pants&nbsp;<b>Roberta.</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283196 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 16:12:14 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2283196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s supposed to hit mid 90’s here today…I would welcome some cold! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283188 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 15:42:09 +0000 LJP 2283188@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It was 3C at 5:30 this morning on the way to work .

And the faux leather pants I bought when it was still in the 80s. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283177 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 14:49:37 +0000 Sisi 2283177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, it is impossible to keep a small capsule in transitional seasons. Here it is not cold yet, we have chilly mornings and warm afternoons. But this means that I am keeping out t-shirts, sandals, cardigans, closed shoes and even a lightweight puffer ...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283159 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 12:46:26 +0000 Anonymous 2283159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep- it's the time of the year to keep everything out, except the coats and heaviest sweaters! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283156 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 12:40:17 +0000 Carla 2283156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Commiserating with you! &nbsp;In a 48 hour period of time went from needing A/C due to high temps and super high humidity, to having the fireplace on to take the chill off in the a/m (house temp was 65!) &nbsp;</p> <p>Biggest change - socks!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283155 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 12:38:48 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2283155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel you! Only as "cold" here as 50s, but with real rain, for and days and days of gloomy skies.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/it-has-happened-again#post-2283154 Tue, 27 Sep 2022 12:36:18 +0000 cjh 2283154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. Just woke up to cold weather. Two weeks ago it was so hot, I wore cotton tanks and shorts at home and was still too warm. Sorted out my closet a bit, wore short sleeve tees and removable cardigans for a few days, with cropped jeans. Looks like today I’ll need a warmer combo of something like long sleeve button shirt and pullover sweater? So much for a transitional capsule!&nbsp; </p>
