I’m literally trying to type as fast as I can because a thunderstorm just blew in and I have a feeling that the power may start to flicker (Thursday night). It would really suck for my computer to shut down in the middle of trying to finish this post. I knew it was coming too so I totally should have worked on it this afternoon but I had a migraine. I sometimes get them when a thunderstorm is coming because I am a magical weather predictor like that 😉 It was kind of a Catch 22 moment.

I put together 30 outfit options for a trip that is about 14 days in June. There is a wedding and some family events during that time so the need for more outfits and options is potentially higher. If you want more details on the trip and the entire packing list, check out the original post. The temperatures at this time of year range form the low to high 20’s (celsius) so a variety of hotter day/cooler evening outfits is a good idea. I stated in the original post that while I don’t normally list high heels (I don’t like to wear them and try to avoid them at all costs) I did for this list because it included a wedding. If you hate heels too or the wedding/party leans to more casual, you can just swap them out for something you will get more use out of  like a pair of sandals or ballet flats.

The hat I included is a packable hat, but if packed properly (using your scarves to stuff in to keep the shape is a great start) then your regular hat should be fine. My straw hat got demolished on our way back from Barbados but that was way before the time of Pinterest and finding all kinds of excellent tips online.

It seems like the thunderstorm is easing up just as I am finishing. The migraine is almost gone too. Now I can go watch Girlboss 🙂 Have a great weekend guys.

As I write this it is Sunday afternoon and I am sweating because it is 20°C+ today. Our condo has certain times of the year where they will switch from heat to air conditioning and from central air back to heat. Usually the heat gets switched on at the beginning of November and the central air goes on Victoria Day weekend (towards the end of May) so if it gets cold or hot on off-season times you have to suffer 😉 I’m not complaining thought because we don’t pay for either, it is included in our rent. It would be nice to have a little cross breeze coming through the windows though.

I just started watching Girlboss and so far I love it. I can kind of relate to the beginning where she sells vintage clothes on Ebay. I used to do that too in the Early to mid 2000’s and to quit due to Ebay’s policies and it changing way too much to be profitable anymore. It was fun though and I totally miss those days on Ebay. And while I am on topic of buying and selling clothes on Ebay I found a killer pair of Converse at Value Village on Saturday. They are an off-white with silver studs on the side Have yet to take a picture). They were only $6.99 and I got 30% off because we had a discount coupon for donating a lot of things. It literally pays to purge your closet and home. Roo found a million t-shirts as well. I wish there was one a little closer (like walkable) so we could hit it on weekdays instead of weekends when Tom isn’t working and the car is home.

It’s the end of an era and my old college watering hole is closing after 152 years. This is depressing in a “I can’t believe it’s over” sort of way. So many great memories, many of which are foggy, and one which ended in “borrowing” a bike and doing a drunk biking pub crawl.

* I posted the picture of this pink dress on Instagram asking for opinions about it. I bought it because I liked the print and colour, but I don’t really like wearing short dresses. The dress’ hem is unfinished so it would be easy to shorten it a couple of inches to have it as a long tee/tunic top. I got mixed opinions on whether to shorten it or leave it so what do you think?

What to Wear for one Month in the UK and France – June

What a short week, I can’t believe that Friday is here already. I’m starting to feel that I need one of those big planners to plan my week out because I am one of those people who do better with lists and boxes to tick and this week felt like it went by without ticking off any boxes :/ At this point I feel like I am constantly trying to figure out what I am supposed to do each day to maximize productivity and am failing miserably.

Last post I responded to a request for What to Pack for a Month in the UK and France in June. This post I put together 30 outfits from those pieces with room to make many more combinations. You could go the whole 30 days and not wear the same outfit twice. If you go to the original post it explains the details and what the weather will be like. With an average of 18-20°C you should be all right with any of these outfits and if the days get unseasonably hot, or damp and cold you will have options for those says as well.

If you are going to have access to laundry regularly and don’t mind wearing the same outfits on repeat you could easily bring even less with you. Remember that one of these outfits will be your travel outfit, the rest should easily pack (especially if rolled).

The rain and damp has come full force but I am not going to complain because it will come out green with flowers. We are still waiting for the tulips to pop up. Is it full spring where you are yet?

Cleaning tactic 101: “accidentally” let is slip that the easter Bunny need cleans places to hide chocolate. My 6-year-old was scrubbing baseboards and wiping dust off of shelves. I need to figure out someway to bring this kind of motivation in to our daily lives 😉

As per usually we hit the Value Villages on a weekly basis, and when Tom went before work last week he found Merle a pair of barely worn, floral, leather, 8 hole Doc Marten’s in size 1. They are slightly big but will be a perfect fit and boot for fall. Roo is jealous because she grew out of her Doc’s and wants another pair but since she has moved in to women’s sizes in footwear the cost for Doc Marten’s for her has quadrupled so we haven’t replaced them yet.

I’ve recently discovered two Spotify playlists that are like being reunited with old friends (one an Instagram friend told me about)  and the other I came across accidentally. Between the two I get my fill of my favourite musical time period (aside from 80’s music which I adore). I’m sure my kids roll their eyes every time I turn my music on, although Merle has decided that she likes The Cranberries. True story: I kind of met Dolores O’Riordan once years ago when I was managing the skateboard shop West49. She had a cottage nearby (where I lived was considered part of cottage country) and was at the mall. That was probably the highlight of my time working there.

As per usually the weekend flew by even though it was a long one. Here’s to a shorter week (for those that have Monday off). I hope you all have a good one 🙂
