"Getting dressed can be such a drag, especially during the in-between seasons of spring and fall when it's 48 degrees one day and 67 the next. Is that warm enough for short sleeves? Cold enough for a coat? Maybe even two? It isn't always obvious what to wear - that is, unless you start taking notes. After feeling chilly one too many times, Mary Kate Morrissey, aka @maryspacekate on social media, started a log."
"On a sunny, 56-degree day, Morrissey went out in jeans, a leather bomber jacket, and a t-shirt. When it was rainy and 77 degrees, she opted for shorts, a tank top, and a chore jacket. On a chilly 48-degree night, she put on a wool jacket, beanie, and jeans. These 'fits felt right, so into the doc they went. Instead of playing it fast and loose while getting dressed, she now looks at the temperature and instantly knows what to pull out of her closet thanks to her detailed notes."
"After years of tracking, Morrissey officially has a master list with an outfit for every type of weather - and she says she consults it every single day. "I feel extra taken care of by myself when I've also listed if it's sunny, windy, or rainy in addition to what temperature it is," she tells Bustle. That way, she can relax knowing she'll feel just right while bopping around town."
