As some of you noticed, I missed my regular midweek post. I have been in the process of moving this week and did not have any free time to sit down and put something together.

I hope to get back to it by this next week.

We are about 90% moved in now. The first day we got all the important things that allowed us to basically live and sleep here from that point onwards.

We’ve got boxes! Home Depot is now open and we were able to pick some up. I would have prefered to get them from someone that just moved and wanted to pass them but that didn’t work out.

It seems that either no one is moving or no one wants to deal with the hassle which I understand at this time because usually, Kijiji is full of people wanting to get rid of moving boxes.

Tom absconded with my little red wagon tonight so we can’t load any boxes up to bring down yet, although I can hear Roo packing her ass off (lots of tape sounds) which is motivating.

How to Build an Edgy Capsule Wardrobe for Spring

An Edgy Capsule Wardrobe for Spring

How to Build an Edgy Spring Capsule Wardrobe with outfit Options

Sonic Youth T-shirt | Sweater Vest | Wrap Shirt | Short Sleeve Blouse | Blue Blouse | Adidas Sweatshirt | Sweater | Cardigan | Floral Blazer | Blue Jeans | Pink Trousers | Grey Trousers | Polka Dot Skirt | Black Dress | Black Trench | Moto Jacket | Polka Dot Face Mask | Necklace | Belt Bag | Purse | Red Flats | Sneakers | Loafers | Pink Heels | Sandals |

Out of all the capsule wardrobes that I put together I find that I relate most with the edgy capsule wardrobe. They jive the most with my wardrobe…although I am finding that I am enjoying a lot more colour and prints these days.

Several years ago my wardrobe was basically straight up neutral, mostly focusing on black and grey.

Over the last year or so I decided that actually enjoy more warm tones than cool and that my real favourite colour is green.

I was just sitting here and got hit with a wave of extreme tiredness. I don’t know what is up, but I am definitely going to bed early tonight.

The green Zara flats that I have been waiting to come into stock arrived this week and I love them. I advice sizing down 1/2 a size because my regular 8 was really big. The 7.5 fit perfect.

We have this chair from Ikea. It is a great chair but was unused for a while so a while back Roo (my oldest) asked if she could have it in her room.

Happy Friday, but it’s now actually Saturday since it is after midnight and I haven’t posted yet. We spent the day today bringing some stuff downstairs to the new apartment.

Since we still don’t have any boxes we were fitting as much stuff as we could into our grocery wagon and bringing it down bit by bit…which is super long and tedious.

Update: both girls decided that they don’t care if their rooms are painted white. Merle said she likes the pink colour, and Roo said she is just going to cover it up with posters.
