Not spandex or having a range of sizes in your closet: let’s talk about “flexing” to fit various weather conditions in one day.
Temps here in Berlin this summer have swung between extremes, and appear to be swinging again. For the last two days, highs were predicted to be in the low 70s, but didn’t get out of the 60s. We went to bed with high 70s forecast for today. It’s 80.
A woman just walked past in trousers and low heels. She was wearing a scarf tossed loosely around her neck, ends hanging in front, no wrapping. She had a jacket over her shoulders. Even though she probably envisioned wearing the jacket, arms in sleeves, as she got dressed this morning, she still looked effortlessly pulled together. Then a cyclist passed her up, wearing her sweater in classic preppy over-the-shoulder style, sleeved crossed loosely in front. She looked good too.
When we know ahead of time that summer temps will be unseasonably cool, we can wear tights with the dress or skirt we had planned (I’ve seen dress + leggings + sandals a lot lately) or add an undershirt to be warm without changing the look (raises hand). But what about on-the-go changes in condition? Do you have creative ways of layering or other secrets to deal with days when the temperatures change considerably?
Photo 1 is a reference to the German phrase for dressing in layers—“onion effect”.

Photos 2 & 3—laughing at myself. Yes, it actually is warm, and no, I may not leave the butter on the porch any more! Yuck. Good thing we’ve got a good drain.
