An Edgy Capsule Wardrobe for Spring

How to Build an Edgy Spring Capsule Wardrobe with outfit Options

Sonic Youth T-shirt | Sweater Vest | Wrap Shirt | Short Sleeve Blouse | Blue Blouse | Adidas Sweatshirt | Sweater | Cardigan | Floral Blazer | Blue Jeans | Pink Trousers | Grey Trousers | Polka Dot Skirt | Black Dress | Black Trench | Moto Jacket | Polka Dot Face Mask | Necklace | Belt Bag | Purse | Red Flats | Sneakers | Loafers | Pink Heels | Sandals |

Out of all the capsule wardrobes that I put together I find that I relate most with the edgy capsule wardrobe. They jive the most with my wardrobe…although I am finding that I am enjoying a lot more colour and prints these days.

Several years ago my wardrobe was basically straight up neutral, mostly focusing on black and grey.

Over the last year or so I decided that actually enjoy more warm tones than cool and that my real favourite colour is green.

I was just sitting here and got hit with a wave of extreme tiredness. I don’t know what is up, but I am definitely going to bed early tonight.

The green Zara flats that I have been waiting to come into stock arrived this week and I love them. I advice sizing down 1/2 a size because my regular 8 was really big. The 7.5 fit perfect.

We have this chair from Ikea. It is a great chair but was unused for a while so a while back Roo (my oldest) asked if she could have it in her room.

20 Spring Trends That Are Easy to Wear

20 Spring Trends that are easy to wear and how to wear them.

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.

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.

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.
