Well, we still haven’t heard back about the apartment. Waiting for other people to do their part is why I always sucked at teamwork. I HATE having to depend on someone else to get something done.

On a positive note, we are going to see another one that we nicknamed The Blue One, because of its sky blue walls.

I’m not a big fan of the blue (the girls like it), but I am sure we could paint it grey or something at some point.

Wardrobe Essentials for a Spring Capsule Wardrobe

It’s hard to get into a spring capsule wardrobe mindset when it is cold outside, and it’s been pretty cold this past week. But I like to start thinking about it before winter is over for a couple of reasons:

Stores begin to sell merchandise a season early, and it is nice to get a jump on things.
It is something to look forward to during the darkest and most depressing months of the year. And boy, it’s pretty depressing this year.

I am wearing black turtleneck bodysuit, wide leg trousers, a navy blue striped blazer and blue Veja sneakers.

I am wearing a grey t-shirt, faux leather torusers, a blue velvet blazer, and Converse High Tops.

I am wearing a white oversized button down, Levis, Isabel Marant Patch boots, and a cropped bottle green blazer

I am wearing a blue cashmere sweater, wide leg trousers, a green faux fur coat, and blue Veja sneakers.

I am wearing a white oversized button up, wide leg trousers, Isable Marant Patch boots, and a vintage suede band style jacket.

Tick Tock, we are supposed to find out tonight or tomorrow whether we get the condo rental we applied for yesterday. If it all works out we will get it for March 1st.

Which means that we would have two months to slowly move from this apartment to the next since we have to give 60 days notice in our current unit.

And I am not counting my chickens before they are hatched and giving the notice right now.

Okay…so we went to look at two more condos today. They were both nice, but one was bigger and one was nicer. We quickly applied for the nicer one, only to be told that it rented before I even finished filling out the application.

That is how fast real estate moves here :/

I was getting excited and mentally planning out where I was going to put stuff.

The Ultimate Spring Capsule Wardrobe

February 4, 2021Sara Leave a Comment

This spring capsule wardrobe embraces the colour pink, so if pink isn’t for you then this won’t be an ultimate spring capsule wardrobe.

Just substitute the pink for a colour you like and build your capsule around that.

Today the weather was cold, but the sun was brightly shining. and there was an actual warmth to the wind which reminded me of when spring is starting to come.

A woman is wearing a slip dress over joggers, with an Anine Bing sweatshirt, and Converse

A woman is wearing an oversized cable knit sweater, joggers, Sorel boots, and a down puffer jacket

A woman is wearing an oversized white button down, with wide leg joggers, and Vejas

Ignore the disaster that is my background :/ So much crap, so little room. While I miss Value Village because it is not open at the moment, I don’t miss the amount of home decor and miscellaneous yet awesome pieces we buy that we don’t have room for.

Speaking of not having room, we went to look at another condo today.

Same building but 10 floors up from ours, on the opposite side of the building, so a much better view.
