I decided that this week I was going to go with how to build a summer capsule wardrobe on a budget. I do capsule wardrobe budget posts for every season, but I found that after this last super fun year and a bit (note the sarcasm), we are all a little more cautious about our finances.

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.

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.

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