How to Build a Summer Capsule Wardrobe

I am back with a summer capsule wardrobe this week. I feel like I have completely skipped by spring on here, and kind of at home as well. It feels similar to the way we spent last spring.

It seems like I am not the only one, or maybe people are just getting hopeful because looking at my blog stats it is showing me that a lot of people are visiting and searching my site to look for summer capsule wardrobes.

I think that planning for summer is giving something for people to look forward to…even though I hate summer and would rather skip by that instead.

On Saturday I was checking the Vaccine Hunters Twitter page and saw that they opened walk-ins for people ages 40+ at the Shoppers Drug Mart down the street from me. I didn’t see it until a few hours after they posted it and was concerned that all of the vaccines would be gone by the time I got there.

The vaccine rollout isn’t going very smoothly here. There are so many people that have registered for waitlists in many different pharmacies and have yet to get called for an appointment.

A white background with a collection of finds from the past week.

Our new place is starting to look put together now. Tom got sick of all the boxes lying around so he started hanging up our pictures and emptying the miscellaneous crap we had.

Our walls and shelves are organized chaos now which I’m sure is overwhelming to a lot of people but works well for us.

The other apartment still needs a lot of work and it’s hard since everything is still closed.

We can’t just run down to the hardware store to pick something up. We also can’t just drive down to any of our donation centres to drop off the piles of stuff we have sitting up there ready to donate.

It’s frustrating. I’m not really sure what we are going to do with the stuff.

Our premier admitted that they made a mistake shutting things down so many times, but here we are still locked down.

It’s exhausting.

8 Spring Outfits that Transition to Summer Part 2

April 23, 2021Sara Leave a Comment

This post is a continuation of last weeks 5 Spring Outfits That Transition to Summer. I had too many ideas to post into one post so I broke it into two.

You wouldn’t know that it was spring based on the weather this week. We woke up to snow twice.

I hope that it doesn’t damage the flowers that were starting to show. Everything should be back to seasonal by the weekends.

Once again my kid has the balcony door wide open and my hands are so cold that I feel like I am typing in slow motion. It’s freezing in here.

Yesterday we walked 7.5 km (total) to pick up a stupid package. This package was supposedly an attempted delivery, but when you are in perpetual lockdown you are always home to receive your packages, so they lied.

I did something this week. I’ll consider it my early birthday present to myself. I visit the local secondhand/consignment online designer retailers pretty much every day to see what new stock they have.

Everything comes and goes so quickly that you have to be on the ball.

I fell off the ball a while back and missed when they had an almost brand new pair of Prada loafers in my size and was disappointed.
