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.

20 Spring Trends That Are Easy to Wear

20 Spring Trends that are easy to wear and how to wear them.

I want to amend this and call it 20 spring trends that anyone can wear as well because we all know that I don’t believe in the whole “you can’t wear that” “dress your age” bullshit.

I decided to do a spring trend post today instead of a capsule wardrobe for a few reasons. Primarily I am tired and falling behind this week as per usual.

Capsules take a long time and when you don’t get a designated time period to work on things every day then life’s responsibilities and interruptions are a real time suck.

How to Build a Spring French Capsule Wardrobe

Grey T-shirt | White Bodysuit | Wrap Shirt | Blue Blouse | Navy Long Sleeve | Striped Sweater | Red Pullover | Black Cardigan | Blazer | Blue Jeans | Black Jeans | Navy Trousers | Mini Skirt | Pink Dress | Black Slip Dress | Trench | Leather Jacket | Scarf | Sunglasses | Necklace | Face Mask | Black Purse | Brown Purse | Black Boots | Converse | Ankle Strap Flats | Chunky Loafers |

I don’t think I have ever done a french capsule wardrobe before, so this is a new one based on a request. A young woman who is moving to Paris for 3.5 months. This is where my jealousy kicks in.

Once upon a time, pre this last weird year, I received a large amount of packing list requests. That immediately stopped last February and I actually miss it.

Wilco T-shirt | White T-shirt | Blue Blouse | Knit Vest | White Blouse | Striped Sweater | Grey Sweater | Cardigan | Blazer | Jeans | Light Trousers | Black Trousers | Grey Skirt | Dress | Spring Coat | Necklace | Headband | Face mask | Crossbody | Red Tote | Red Flats | Animal Print Flats | Sneakers | Sandals |

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.

Spring Capsule Wardrobe Essentials

Wardrobe Essentials for a Spring Capsule Wardrobe

Grey T-shirt | Knit Vest | Button Down | Wrap Shirt | Blouse | Striped Sweater | Grey Pullover | Blue Cardigan | Brown Blazer | Jeans | Cream Trousers | Black Trousers | Skirt | Shirt Dress | Coat | Scarf | Earrings | Face Mask | Crossbody | Tote | Blue Flats | Ankle Strap Flats | Sneakers | Converse | Sandals |

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:

  1. Stores begin to sell merchandise a season early, and it is nice to get a jump on things.
  2. 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.

It is really hard to get into the mindset of spring capsule wardrobes right now when it was really cold AF outside. I really wanted to wear a dress today so I ended up with jogging pants layered underneath.

That’s the way that it goes when you live in a really cold climate.

At the start of quaratine last year…was it really almost a year ago? It’s crazy.
