Summer Capsule Wardrobe on a Budget

A white back ground with the pieces for a summer capsule wardrobe laid out in a list manner.

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 don’t want to toot my own horn or anything but I unpacked four more boxes this weekend 😉 Yep, I’m still not done unpacking so getting four done in one shot is an achievement.

They have been sitting piled up like a wall in the front entrance way for weeks now. I’ve just learned to block it out.

A white background with a collection of finds from the past week.

I am sitting here by the window listening to the wind howl and the balcony door vibrate because it has been windy as hell today. Everything is much more intense on this side of the building.

The difference between the two sides is so bizarre.

How to Build a Summer Capsule Wardrobe

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.

Our new place is starting to look put together now. Tom got sick of all the boxes lying around so he started hanging up our pictures and emptying the miscellaneous crap we had.

Our walls and shelves are organized chaos now which I’m sure is overwhelming to a lot of people but works well for us.

The other apartment still needs a lot of work and it’s hard since everything is still closed.

We can’t just run down to the hardware store to pick something up. We also can’t just drive down to any of our donation centres to drop off the piles of stuff we have sitting up there ready to donate.

It’s frustrating. I’m not really sure what we are going to do with the stuff.

Our premier admitted that they made a mistake shutting things down so many times, but here we are still locked down.

It’s exhausting.
