I can’t believe it’s the end of week three already, it’s flying by. Unfortunately the opportunity to get the summer dresses out this week was non-existent as the weather seemed to think we were back in February. Anyway on to the roundup:
Day fifteen
Stripey Grainline Hemlock with my Peggy Sue Cardigan
I should wear this cardigan more often, the cable ribbing is lovely!
Day sixteen
My old reliable navy By Hand London Anna dress with green Miette cardigan.
I love this dress, it’s perfect for throwing on when I really can’t decide what to wear. It looks like white polka dots but they are actually little daisies. I have a bit of a thing about navy and green, I’ve been searching for some navy and green stripy knit fabric for ages without success. I know it must exist somewhere!
Day seventeen
I really need to make another one of these, it’s a lovely pattern and fits my frame really well. I actually have some Chambray to make a dress version but it keeps getting bumped down the list.
Day eighteen
Grainline Moss ‘mini’, purple Deer and Doe Plantain and Purple Miette cardigan
A horrible cold and wet Monday morning necessitated woolly tights and layers. I love my purple Miette, it’s a quite expensive silk and merino blend yarn but it holds the lace detail well and doesn’t ‘bobble’ like my wool ones.
Day nineteen
I finally got around to making this denim shift a couple of weeks ago and I love it!
Day twenty
Grey Deer and Doe Plantain, Grainline Archer and By Hand London Victoria Blazer
At work so lot’s of layers as I really had no idea what the weather was going to do!
Day twenty one
Christine Haynes Broderie Anglaise Emery dress with Navy Miette Cardigan
Another old faithful dress. I put my boots on again but the weather really warmed up at lunchtime!
Some thoughts:
The blue thing is getting really silly, I actually wore it every day this week and that was after promising I would try to be more colourful!
I wore my boots for four days and it’s the latter part of May! The boots are now boxed up and ready to go into the loft, if it turns chilly again I’ll just have to put up with chilly goose pimpled legs!
I seem to be obsessed with the weather, all my Instagram posts seem to include a brief weather report. I think it comes from working outside!
Even though I said I wouldn’t, I might actually try and end the month with no repeats. I haven’t really worn any of my summer clothes so if the weather warms up I should be able to get through to the end of the month without any duplicity.
How is everybody else getting along now we are into the final week?
Nothing wrong with wearing blue every day, I rarely go a day without it 😉 lovely outfits as ever
Thank you! I’m wearing blue today too! I have got a little green and red lined up for later in the week!
I agree, it obviously suits you I’d embrace it! Hope it warms up enough for some summery dresses.
The weather is definitely warming up a bit so hopefully we’ll get some summer dress time before the month is out!
You have a lovely wardrobe. I just started sewing less than a year ago. I am finding a lot more blue in my wardrobe than I’d expected too. Is it because they make more blue fabrics or is it my taste? Not sure. I love the Miette cardigan. If only I could knit. Maybe this fall I’ll take some classes.
Happy last week of MMM 2015!
Thank you Melissa, I think that’s the best thing about sewing being able to choose your own fabric rather than relying on what’s in the shops. You should give the Miette a go, it’s really easy and an ideal first cardigan!
I like the blue everyday! It’s definitely one of my favourites too! Another lovely week!
Thanks Heather, it was completely unintentional wearing blue everyday, I was supposed to be having a more colourful week!
What’s wrong with blue! I love blue! You have some lovely outfits there! We’re almost through the month!
I like all your blue clothes – just go with it 💙 I have similar issues with purple! I’ve also decided to get out the few summer things I have and pack away most of the boots this weekend. The weather will just have to pull up its socks.
I’ve packed the boots away too, I’m determined to start wearing my summer clothes, even if it is with goose pimpled legs!
