This is my second Me-Made-May and I have kept the same criteria as last year which is to wear one me-made garment or accessory from Monday - Friday. At the weekend I am still doing DIY house renovations so my outfit consists of a paint splattered fleece and patched up trousers with knee pads. Very stylish indeed.
Day One
Top: Gap
Cardigan: Gap
Leggings: Warehouse
Skirt: Self-drafted skirt, Ikea fabric (I named it the Hirst skirt because of the dots) - me-made 2009
Necklace: Tatty Devine chips
Shoes: Paul Smith purple Dante brogues
Day Two
Top: Gap
Jeans: Diesel
Scarf: Marimekko
Shoes: Vans checkerboard slip-ons
Are you taking part in Me-Made-May this year?




well done - I like the skirt! I have worn me made so far but failed to get a photo yesterday - disappointing on day 2 but hey-ho!
ReplyDeleteThanks Tamsin, I will be following your progress again this year ; )
DeleteHope you enjoy Me Made May! I'm not officially taking part, but will be doing the thinking part around what makes work best for my lifestyle and thus get worn the most.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea Alex. You will be raring to go for MMM 2016!
DeleteYay, it works :) Great :) I really liked your outfits so far and I should have gone with 5 days a week too, on the weekend I just got dressed for the photos :D
ReplyDeleteThanks x I am loving your clothes too - I have checked out your blog and you have some gorgeous makes!
DeleteYes, I think having the weekends off is definitely a good idea. Most of the things I have sewn so far are the sort of thing I wear at work rather than the weekends where I tend to gravitate towards total comfort rather than style!
This is my first proper year of me mades. I tried last year but I just hadn't made enough things. I am really enjoying it. The best part for me is seeing what other people are wearing, and how they've styled there outfits. Hope you enjoy mmm too.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you can take part this year. I find the most challenging thing is to find a victim / volunteer to take my photo - I can't take a decent selfie at all!
