Happy Friday, but it’s now actually Saturday since it is after midnight and I haven’t posted yet. We spent the day today bringing some stuff downstairs to the new apartment.

Since we still don’t have any boxes we were fitting as much stuff as we could into our grocery wagon and bringing it down bit by bit…which is super long and tedious.

Update: both girls decided that they don’t care if their rooms are painted white. Merle said she likes the pink colour, and Roo said she is just going to cover it up with posters.

20 Spring Trends That Are Easy to Wear

March 5, 2021Sara Leave a Comment

I want to amend this and call it 20 spring trends that anyone can wear as well because we all know that I don’t believe in the whole “you can’t wear that” “dress your age” bullshit.

I decided to do a spring trend post today instead of a capsule wardrobe for a few reasons. Primarily I am tired and falling behind this week as per usual.

Capsules take a long time and when you don’t get a designated time period to work on things every day then life’s responsibilities and interruptions are a real time suck.

I am sitting here waiting to see if we can do the key handoff tonight, but I am not feeling optimistic since it is almost 8 pm. She may still come through because she said this evening.

I just want to get it over with because I hate waiting for people.

I’m very jealous of all of you who live in areas that the flowers are starting to pop up.

We found an apartment! It was the one that we went to see last weekend that is in our building. Tom dropped off the cheque on Friday and we get the keys on Monday.

It needs to be painted before we start bringing stuff down which will be accomplished I have no idea when, but we haven’t even given notice for this place yet.

Spring Capsule Wardrobe

How to Build a Spring French Capsule Wardrobe

I don’t think I have ever done a french capsule wardrobe before, so this is a new one based on a request. A young woman who is moving to Paris for 3.5 months. This is where my jealousy kicks in.

Once upon a time, pre this last weird year, I received a large amount of packing list requests. That immediately stopped last February and I actually miss it.

What I Wore This Week

February 21, 2021Sara Leave a Comment

I am wearing an oversized white button down, levis, an oversized leather jacket, and blue flats

I am wearing an oversized cream cardigan, joggers, and Converse

I am wearing a black blouse, oversized cardigan, high waist wide leg trousers, and green trainers

I am wearing an asymmetrical cardigan, wide leg jeans, and Isabel Marant boots

We went to eight rental showings today. Eight. I am tired. It takes a lot out of you for actually not having done very much. Although we did walk a lot to the different locations because they were all within a 3 block radius of where we live.

That probably adds to the tiredness since neither of us have been getting very much physical exercise lately.

Once upon a time, I was really easy going, and we would take any place that checked at least half our boxes. Most of the time we didn’t even have any boxes to check.
