Well we are halfway through Me Made May and so far so good. I pledged to wear at least one me made item a day, along with me made knickers and me knitted cardigans at least four days a week. I also decided not to repeat any outfits throughout the month, things are starting to get a little bit creative! I’ve been posting daily picks on Flickr and Pintrest but I thought I’d do a bit of a round up here too.
And so:
Day one: Colette Hawthorn
Day two: Grey Deer and Doe Plantain with Green Miette Cardigan
Day three: Green embroidered Grainline Scout
Day four: Silk Megan Nielsen Darling Ranges dress
Day five: Grey Deer and Doe Plantain and Purple Miette Cardigan
Day six: Denim Megan Nielsen Kelly Skirt with Green Miette Cardigan
Day seven: Grainline Plaid Archer shirt
Day eight: Colette Zinnia Skirt and Sorbetto top
Day nine: Grainline Blue Poppy Hemlock Tee (Blue Friday theme day!)
Day ten: By Hand London Anna Dress
Day eleven: Colette Rooibos dress and Ando Satturlund Marion Cardigan
Day twelve: Black Deer and Doe Plantain and By Hand London Victoria Blazer
Day thirteen: Buda elephant top with green Miette cardigan (again)
Day fourteen: Black Deer and Doe Plantain and purple Miette cardigan
and finally day fifteen: Tilly’s Love At First Stitch Clemence skirt
Phew! Me Made May has made me think a lot more carefully about what I wear, I had got into the habit of wearing jeans, plantains and Miettes all the time! It’s been nice to wear more skirts, I could really do with sewing a few more. My most me outfits so far have been my Darling Ranges and Anna Dresses, I just feel a lot more comfortable in dresses and I don’t have to thing about co-ordinating anything! I’ve also realised how much I love my Miettes so I definitely need to knit at least one more! I’ve just got to see if I can make it through the next two weeks without repeating anything! Hopefully the weather might warm up a bit so I can bring out more of my summer stuff! Are you taking part? Have you managed to stick to your pledge?
