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.

Most Popular Song Each Month Since January 1980. This Youtube video is 50+ minutes long. I love this stuff, it reminded me of a bunch of songs that I forgot about. It’s crazy how many hits came from the 80s. Almost every song was great. 2010’s to now…not so much.

Fuck T-shirts. I’m sure you” find one that is applicable to you.

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.

I had a craving for something sweet tonight and was going to order some Krispy Kreme but it was closed for delivery, so we ended up with Sweet Jesus instead.

I love the name of that place, it makes me laugh.

I experienced my first thundersnow tonight, and I’m not going to lie, it was scary. It’s when you have thunder and lightning during a snowstorm. It was weird. I thought the flashing lights at first were the snowplows or emergency vehicles, but then the thunder came.
