Early Spring Capsule Wardrobe March/April 2016

February has been a bit warmer than usual here (I'm not complaining!), so I decided to cut my winter capsule short.  For the next two weeks, the weather is predicted to be about 60/40, that is 60 degrees Fahrenheit for the high and 40 degrees Fahrenheit for the low.  The average temperatures in April are also 60/40, so I decided to make a new capsule to reflect the weather.  (In May the average temperatures are 70/50, so it seemed like a 2-month capsule was appropriate, instead of shooting for 3 months again.)  In my winter capsule, I had primarily sweaters, but for this new capsule, I will have primarily a t-shirt with a completer piece (sweater/blazer/vest/scarf).  It's really helpful to dress in layers here, as it tends to be very warm indoors.
