The most warn garment this month was, hands down, my Minoru, which was worn nearly every day. And that isn't an artificial inflation of how often it's worn, I really do wear it that much. It's fairly waterproof, and just the right warmth for cycling in Melbourne autumn. As me-made items go, it's a roaring success really. I'm keeping an eager eye out for similar fabric in another colour to make another coat.

My me-made wardrobe covers my work-clothes pretty well, my office is smart-casual, so a dress (with or without a tshirt underneath) or a skirt/blouse combo are great for work. However, where my me-made wardrobe is lacking is in winter casual clothes. In summer I have some great skirts, shorts and summer dresses. However when it gets to colder weather and the summer skirts/dresses get packed away I'm a little lacking in comfy casual clothes. I've kinda gone off jeans (probably partly because I've put on a little weight and the jeans I have are quite tight so not super comfy), but also because they're not all that practical for cycling in, which is my main mode of transport.

Anyway, that's enough navel gazing for now, but if anybody has any suggestions of good casual clothes for winter I'm all ears!

  2. I've discovered fleece lined tights this winter, which have been perfect to convert many of my spring/summer skirts to winter wear!
    Another suggestion is the Tessuti 'Anita Ponti pants pattern' - warm, comfy, stretchy, but not quite leggings.

  3. I hope you've recovered well from the allergic reaction. I hate those things :(
