I almost didn’t finish this summer capsule wardrobe essentials post this week. The motivation due to heat has been sucked right out of me. I am writing this as the puddle that I have melted into due to my apartment being 29.5°C right now. The building hasn’t completed the transition to air conditioning yet and it is awful.

I can’t believe that I lived without central air conditioning as a child and that I actually went outside in the heat and enjoyed myself…because I sure as shit won’t do that now.

13 Summer Trends You Should Add to Your Wardrobe Right Now

13 Summer Trends You Should Add to YOur Wardrobe Right Now Title Page

I am not one to jump on every trend that goes by. It’s too expensive and too wasteful to try to keep your wardrobe up to date in the trend department. This is why I think it is important to build a strong wardrobe foundation and basics and classic timeless pieces that will get you through more than a couple of seasons.

It’s after you have built that solid foundation, that you can start picking what trends you would like to sprinkle in that season.

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 know that I am.

I’ve usually think about purchases long and hard before making the jump, but this year I have been even more strict with myself about it.

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.

8 Spring Outfits Transition to Summer

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.
