I have been for this moment all year. The fall capsule wardrobe moment. When I was out today, I got a little thrill when my watch buzzed with a notification from H&M saying “cozy fall knitwear”. I couldn’t wait to get home to check it out.

Because cozy fall knitwear is all part of my personal hygge.

I called this post The Ultimate Fall Capsule Wardrobe for Me because it is basically the pieces I live in from fall until it starts to warm up again in spring.

You might have noticed that I was sporting a new purse this week. Well, new to me but it’s actually preloved. I love being able to find something that may no longer be considered an “IT” bag but is something that speaks to you.

It actually was considered an IT Bag way back in 2011, but you don’t really see people sporting them anymore but that didn’t sway my decision.

It is the Fendi Silvana bag and it comes in a whole slew of colours. The blue combo and the green combo are beautiful and it would have been a hard decision if they were available at the same time as this one, but they weren’t in any shops within Canada.

I honestly didn’t do much this week because it has just been way too hot. Both my girls don’t do well in the heat at all, and when I brought my oldest to the clinic to get her second vaccination on Monday it was extremely hot.

On the way home, both of them were borderline fainting on the sidewalk. I thought Merle was going to have a heart attack because she was purple and making really horrendous sounds.

Needless to say, that is why I have not gone anywhere that involves walking this week. The drama that was involved in a simple outing is so not worth it.

As I am sitting here trying to avoid going outside because we are in the middle of a heatwave, I also just got an email from our building saying that the air conditioning is going to be shut off between 10-4 tomorrow to do repairs on the chiller.

It is another headache day today. We went out to dinner last night and Tom ordered a gigantic steak for himself. When I say gigantic I mean it came out on a large wooden slab and looked like a meal that would have been served on The Flinstone’s.

It was a huge amount of meat that promptly put him to sleep when he got home…which wouldn’t have been bad if it didn’t result in him having meat dreams.

Not dreams of actual meat but induced by the massive amount that he ate.

It’s my birthday…42 times around the sun. Twenty years ago I would have been drinking copious amounts of beer at a bar, while I get a birthday song dedication of Guns N’ Roses: Paradise City. Then I would have proceeded to go home very late and sleep the entire next day away.

Now I am waiting for my dinner delivery, contemplating ordering some kind of cake-ish dessert, and mentally debating the pros and cons of going to bed at an actual decent time tonight.

Oh, how times change.
