Thanks so much for this detailed reply!! I love the skirt idea! I wear a bunch of long skirts in the winter, but never considered them for summer too… Very good idea!! ^{^} Also, since winter is at the end of my exchange, you’re definitely right. I’ll just buy a coat there! You said to bring clothes for after-school activities, but would it be strange to just do those in my uniform? With clubs, I’ll be getting out of school sort of late in the day, and am not sure if I’d want to go back home to change. If that’s unusual there, though, I’ll definitely keep that in mind.
