I am not sure if the Zara sale has started for all countries or just Canada at the moment but I swore I was going to avoid it. Surprise, surprise I didn’t. When I got the “Zara Sale has started” notification on my phone the adrenaline kicked in.

It brings out this weirdly competitive side of me that I wasn’t aware existed until I started shopping this sale. The good news is that they kept everything that I had in my cart before the sale started, in my cart.

A Minimalist Summer Capsule Wardrobe

A white background with a list of minimalist summer capsule wardrobe ideas 2021.

Linen Tank | Cropped T-shirt | Anine Bing T-shirt | Pink Blouse | White Button Up | Denim Jacket | Blazer | Swimsuit | Shorts | Black Trousers | Wide Leg Trousers | Jeans | Pink Sundress | White Dress | Scarf | Sunglasses | Boater Hat | Earrings | Necklace | Crossbody | Tote | Heels | Sandals | Slides | Sneakers |

Minimalist style is having a moment this season. Not minimalism in the traditional sense of fewer things, but the visual look of minimalist with its neutral, clean lines, and tone on tone looks. This summer capsule wardrobe reflects this trend.

I personally think that minimalist is a very chic look for the summer.

It is so simple yet so perfect and easy.

Whew it is a hot one today. It is supposed to be severe thunderstorms for the next three days so I did a lot of my errands today. It was not pleasant to walk in that’s for sure.

On a positive note, the nearby pharmacy has started doing 12+ vaccines, so I’ll take Roo down there this week. She is a fainter/panic attack/puking type of person because she hates needles, so I hope she can keep it together.

I call this week’s series of outfits the “what I wore during a heatwave because I don’t wear shorts.” I am happy to say that the temperature normalized today, so I got to wear layers again.

Have you found a good summer bag yet? I have been on the hunt for one, but I am not sure if I want to do the woven basket bag thing or not.

Summer Capsule Wardrobe Essentials

A white background with a list of my summer capsule wardrobe essentials 2021.

Tank | Striped Bodysuit | Cropped Shirt | Button Up | Resort Shirt | Striped Sweater | Blazer | Denim Jacket | Denim Shorts | Linen Trousers | Wide Leg Trousers | Jeans | Black Dress | Sundress | Earrings | Scarf | Boater Hat | Sunglasses | Red Purse | Straw Tote | Mules | Sandals | Slides | Sneakers |

I almost didn’t finish this summer capsule wardrobe essentials post this week. The motivation due to heat has been sucked right out of me. I am writing this as the puddle that I have melted into due to my apartment being 29.5°C right now. The building hasn’t completed the transition to air conditioning yet and it is awful.

I can’t believe that I lived without central air conditioning as a child and that I actually went outside in the heat and enjoyed myself…because I sure as shit won’t do that now.

13 Summer Trends You Should Add to YOur Wardrobe Right Now Title Page

I am not one to jump on every trend that goes by. It’s too expensive and too wasteful to try to keep your wardrobe up to date in the trend department. This is why I think it is important to build a strong wardrobe foundation and basics and classic timeless pieces that will get you through more than a couple of seasons.

It’s after you have built that solid foundation, that you can start picking what trends you would like to sprinkle in that season.
