What I Wore This Week

I am wearing an oversized white button down, levis, an oversized leather jacket, and blue flats

I am wearing an oversized cream cardigan, joggers, and Converse

I am wearing a black blouse, oversized cardigan, high waist wide leg trousers, and green trainers

I am wearing an asymmetrical cardigan, wide leg jeans, and Isabel Marant boots

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.

My weekly collection of reads and things that I found across the internet.

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.

We could easily drive to a city outside the boundaries to do something, but I am not going to be that person. That’s what got us to this point in the first place.

So two more weeks it is.

How to Build a Budget Spring Capsule Wardrobe

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 am wearing grey wide leg joggers, a grey Anine Bing Sweatshirt, a navy blue striped blazer, and Vejas

I am wearing black joggers, an Anine Bing Sweatshirt, Converse, and a long green coat

I am wearing Levis, a turtleneck bodysuit, knee high boots, and a blue velvet blazer

I am wearing a grey t-shirt, a wrap sweater, faux leather pants, and Converse

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.

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.

Spring Capsule Wardrobe Essentials

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.
