I have had such a busy week this week that I did something that I have never done. I turned off all notifications on my devices.

I am currently waiting for my box of Krispy Kreme donuts to be delivered. I felt like we needed a treat after some pretty bland and boring meals the past couple of days.
I didn’t want to turn on the oven because of the heatwave so anything that I had meal planned went to the wayside and I had to improvise with what we had on hand.

Long weekends always throw me for a loop. I have to stop and remember what day it is so that I can make sure to get anything finished that needs to be done that day.
It felt like Saturday, and I am lucky that I remembered to get Easter stuff yesterday while I was out instead of waiting until today like I was going to since I had forgotten that everything was closed.
Because then I would have to go tomorrow and that would just suck. I am avoiding shopping at all costs tomorrow.
Yesterday I made a transitional spring to summer capsule wardrobe that will take you until the temperatures soar, and it was nice to see how many of you feel the same about summer.
I feel like I have always been surrounded by summer lovers, except my kids, they hate it too and I usually have to resort to bribery to get them to go out in it.
It made me think of a funny video I watched that talked about all the people who look forward to summer, and it must be because in your brain you still connect it to having holidays/time off school.
This totally makes sense because even though I hated the heat, I always looked forward to summer vacation as a kid.
I guess that just sticks for a lot of people.

Okay, so I am hooked on the k-dramas now and I just started watching The Glory, and I am about halfway done now. It is pretty dark but really intense and good.

I was good with no purchases last week, but this week I bought a couple of vintage things. They are actually from the same seller, so it was like a happy accident.
I have been searching for a suede, fringed jacket and found one from the 70s that I hope looks as nice in person. I started searching their store and saw a vintage 1950s letterman sweater.
It is red wool with a W on it which is perfect. I have looked at them over the years but have never found a colour that I liked with a letter that worked for my name.
So it was a jacket purchase with a bonus sweater find. It kind of works for the preppy vibe because…
This week I was kind of getting excited over a distorted preppy aesthetic, so I made a capsule wardrobe for it with an explanation of my thought process in that post.
It’s a fun aesthetic. I find that it exercises my style creativity when I play around with different aesthetics.
I also made a French style inspired capsule wardrobe digital style guide that also contains a bonus weekend packing list.
The preppy wardrobe made me REALLY want to get the track jacket/blazer hybrid. It’s such a statement piece.
Maybe some other day.
