Wow! May is a wrap, how did that happen? This month has had crazy weather variation, we started with some lovely sun and as I write this, I feel like that was the beginning of summer and we have now jumped straight to autumn already :( Please come back summer. Anyway, on to my final round up.
Day 23: vintage tartan dress
Day 24: new maxi skirt! I had a coat on over this and almost froze while taking this photo.
Day 25: It was so cold this day that I wore my refashioned jumper skirt and blingy refashioned jumper. Being dressed neck to knee in jumpers still didn't protect me from the cold and I managed to forget a photo!
Day 26: I wore a feather plantain t-shirt for a slobby uni day. You're getting my attempt at a selfie here, clearly my modelling/photography career is a way off
Day 27: I was going on a night out with some friends in this day so made a little bit of an effort and wore my shirt dress with some sandals. Apparently I should make even a little effort on more days as I got so many compliments on my outfit.
Day 28: my maxi skirt again with lace belcarra blouse
Day 29: being the little mermaid at the V&A in my Jade skirt and vintage tie top. For anyone in the London area, I really recommend the 'Undressed' exhibition.
Day 30: a bonus bank holiday day, which was much colder than we would have liked for the BBQ I was attending! I wore my Renfrew/lady skater mash up dress.
Day 31: for the final day I wore my floral pencil skirt and Mathilde blouse. I love this outfit but the skirt is such a terrible fit that I really need to try and find another pencil skirt pattern to attempt a different one.
This May has been the third where I've participated in me-made-May, this year was by far the easiest. Clearly my handmade items are fitting better into my wardrobe (also I now have enough of them for colleagues/friends not to think I own no clothes). Thanks so much Zoe for hosting again this year, I find this challenge so useful in helping me to examine my wardrobe and what it is that I want to wear. However, interestingly this year is also the first that I haven't come out of May with a list of things to sew bigger than I started with which is refreshing. I guess I've arrived at some kind of homoeostasis.
Anyway, on to June which is definitely my favourite month, as its my birthday! Here's to birthday month!
What a successful May you had. I am in love with that little red floral pencil skirt!
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's one of my favourite pieces but I just would like it to fit better.
