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.

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.

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.

I am tired. Physically, and mentally. Once again they have pushed our lockdown for two more weeks. Toronto, Peel, and North Bay are the only cities that are still not open yet in the province.

So two more weeks it is.

Can you build a spring capsule wardrobe on a budget? Yes, yes you can. You can build any capsule wardrobe on a budget with a little creativity and planning.

I’m going to start off by saying that this capsule wardrobe is colourful. People asked for one with a little more colour, so I tried to put a fun colourful vibe together.

It reminds of early 90s bold colours and style, and the United Colours of Benneton.

I know that all I have been talking about is condo rental hunting, but honestly, that is what my life is revolving around at the moment.

The Blue One from Friday’s post has been rented, so we spent Valentine’s Day looking at a bunch more.

We have a favourite and two others as fallbacks, but we are dealing with an asshole realtor (not ours) who isn’t being cooperative with our own realtor to his client’s detriment.
