Yukari and her friends have a miscommunication on whether they’ll change from their summer uniforms to their winter uniforms yet. The decision is finalized just in time, as the following day is even colder.

昨日(きょう)うちに衣替(ころもが)えしておいて()かった。」
"I'm glad we (took the opportunity and) settled our uniform change (during) yesterday."
