Can you build a spring capsule wardrobe on a budget? Yes, yes you can. You can build any capsule wardrobe on a budget with a little creativity and planning.

I’m going to start off by saying that this capsule wardrobe is colourful. People asked for one with a little more colour, so I tried to put a fun colourful vibe together.

It reminds of early 90s bold colours and style, and the United Colours of Benneton.

I know that all I have been talking about is condo rental hunting, but honestly, that is what my life is revolving around at the moment.

The Blue One from Friday’s post has been rented, so we spent Valentine’s Day looking at a bunch more.

We have a favourite and two others as fallbacks, but we are dealing with an asshole realtor (not ours) who isn’t being cooperative with our own realtor to his client’s detriment.

Well, we still haven’t heard back about the apartment. Waiting for other people to do their part is why I always sucked at teamwork. I HATE having to depend on someone else to get something done.

On a positive note, we are going to see another one that we nicknamed The Blue One, because of its sky blue walls.

I’m not a big fan of the blue (the girls like it), but I am sure we could paint it grey or something at some point.

It’s hard to get into a spring capsule wardrobe mindset when it is cold outside, and it’s been pretty cold this past week. But I like to start thinking about it before winter is over for a couple of reasons:

  1. Stores begin to sell merchandise a season early, and it is nice to get a jump on things.
  2. It is something to look forward to during the darkest and most depressing months of the year. And boy, it’s pretty depressing this year.

Tick Tock, we are supposed to find out tonight or tomorrow whether we get the condo rental we applied for yesterday. If it all works out we will get it for March 1st.

Which means that we would have two months to slowly move from this apartment to the next since we have to give 60 days notice in our current unit.

And I am not counting my chickens before they are hatched and giving the notice right now.

Okay…so we went to look at two more condos today. They were both nice, but one was bigger and one was nicer. We quickly applied for the nicer one, only to be told that it rented before I even finished filling out the application.

That is how fast real estate moves here :/

I was getting excited and mentally planning out where I was going to put stuff.
