Tell me about a time you dressed completely wrong for the weather.

B Natural answer

Once I left for work in the morning after skimming the weather app. It said warm, so I wore a denim jacket and light shoes. But I didn't check the forecast carefully, and that was a mistake. Around lunchtime the sky changed, the wind got stronger, and it felt much colder than I expected. I spent the rest of the day trying to stay indoors because I was freezing by noon. Since then, I always look at the temperature hour by hour, not just the morning summary.
