Spring saw us in Nova Scotia in the third wave of the COVID pandemic.
This being the hardest wave we have seen yet due to variants. For the first time we were parents of an ‘at home learning’ child and had to navigate our own careers alongside her education.
Thankfully, our Province is opening back up as case numbers drop and the number of vaccinated people go up.
This has meant a more curated approach to my spring capsule this year. More ‘at home working’ outfits and weekend cozy vibes.
New To Me
White / Grey Romper
I adore this romper. Relaxed, light and playful, it adds a lot to my spring / summer capsule.
Beige Hoodie
Although the softest fabric inside and out, this hoodie began buzzing after the first wear. It does not hold up well to look the way it was marketed as from the get go. It does however remain in tact and as warm and as cozy soft as ever. Unfortunately I wouldn’t suggest this for anyone due to it’s lack of ability to hold it’s smooth appearance.
Taupe Long Sleeve
A purchase early spring that was to help with my lack of long sleeves that are not ‘turtle necks’. It is a season fav.
White Oversized Button Shirt
I hunted all Spring for this and am not disappointed with this expensive purchase. The material is high quality, it’s loose yet shapely at the same time. I expect this to be in my wardrobe until it’s threadbare.
Still Going Strong
Tan Turtle Neck
Great for those early spring days in March when a turtle neck is still the best option.
Butterfly Sweater
Though not the most expensive sweater find with the highest quality, the graphic decal is holding up well after multiple washes and it symbolizes a change in my mindset that began during the pandemic. Always a sucker for symbolic capsule items.
Girlfriend Jeans
They do the job. No complaints.
Time to Go
Grey Bridesmaids Dress
Purchased for the besties Wedding in 2017, this dress has seen a handful of wears. I am feeling that it is time to put this baby up for sale. (Not pictured here.)
Ankle Socks
About every pair of my ankle socks had holes in them by mid spring. I ordered another batch of under armer ankle socks to replace them.
