I am on a U2 kick tonight. We bought Roo (my teenager) a U2 album for Christmas but I actually misplaced it a while before Christmas. I just found it tonight and gave it to her.

Who doesn’t love a nice after Christmas surprise.

It inspired me to play on some U2 videos on YouTube while making this post. I hope she appreciates the album.

We have reached that time of the year that the happiness and excitement of Christmas have worn off, and we are now entering the doldrums of the new year.

Usually, I don’t experience it until February, but seriously, after this year every month seems to be the doldrums.

The sun is barely shining, it’s cold and grey. We haven’t had much snow yet, but the weather channel is saying that a polar vortex may be on its way.

That will be super fun :/

Once again I am doing things a little different this week. This is like a regular winter capsule wardrobe essentials post but this week I am only using the pieces that I own that are a part of my personal wardrobe.

Instead of doing a layout of 30 outfit options that I include at the bottom of each post I am changing things up as well.

For the next 30 days every day I will wear an outfit that uses pieces from this capsule wardrobe essentials list, and then update this post with an image and what pieces I used as I go along.

In other words, the 10 pieces that I wore the most.

I’ll get back into the habit of daily outfit postings this week, now that the girls’ Christmas break is over and we will have some semblance of a routine again.

Some of these pieces are low stock or sold out now, but there are often other colourways or similar styles that would check all the boxes too.
