Me-Made-March - The Whole Month

And the month is up. 33 outfits containing me-made items, 30 days compliance. Overall a good month. Definitely more combinations than last May, and a fair few days of entirely me-made clothes. Here's the whole month all together in one place (mostly because it looks cool with all the images together like this):

                         

I am definitely looking forward to wearing some non-me made items that couldn't be brought into the me-made outfits now, but this month has reminded me how much me-made clothing I really have. It's also prompted me to alter/refashion a couple of items that weren't quite wearable into some great items.

I don't think I'll do the challenge again in this way (at least one me-made item a day), as now I know I can definitely do it, having done it twice. Further down the road I'd love to build on my me-made wardrobe more and go the whole hog with the me-made thing and do a month of only me-made items. I'm not sure when that'll be though.

Anyway, the month was fun, congratulations to all the participants who succeeded in their goals, and all those that almost succeeded like me.

Me-Made-March - Days 25-31

  

Day 25 (Friday) - PJ Day! - Me-made Starry PJ bottoms (with t-shirt)
Day 26 (Saturday) - I cheated, I was feeling crappy so wore nothing me-made today, sorry!
Day 27 (Sunday) - Me-made purple tank top (with joggers)
Day 28 (Monday) - Me-made grey jenny skirt (with t-shirt, funky tights and new boots)
Day 29 (Tuesday) - Me-made black jenny skirt, Me-Made plaid pendrell blouse (with grey vest top)
Day 30 (Wednesday) - Me-made esprit dress (with purple tights and t-shirt and new boots)
Day 31 (Thursday) - Me-made esprit dress (with grey tights and t-shirt)

The last week of the month wasn't quite as good as the first 3 and a half. I cheated on Saturday because I wasn't feeling so good, but the last few days were fun because I got some new boots so designed some outfits around them. I also refashioned my esprit dress making it wearable again, hooray!

Me-Made-March - Days 17-24

        

Day 17 (Thursday) - Me-made plaid pendrell blouse (with black trousers)
Day 18 (Friday) - Me-made purple t-shirt (with teal jumper and jeans)
Day 18 (Friday) - Me-made spotty dress, me-made red beaded necklace (with red cardigan)
Day 19 (Saturday) - Me-made "patchwork" skirt (with tank tops)
Day 20 (Sunday) - Me-made white gored skirt (with tank tops)
Day 21 (Monday) - Me-made purple t-shirt (with shorts)
Day 22 (Tuesday) - Me-made brown tunic dress (with black t-shirt and tights)
Day 23 (Wednesday) - Me-made blue pendrell blouse (with jeans)
Day 24 (Thursday) - Me-made black and white skirt (with pale grey t-shirt)

Yup, I'm still plodding along with the Me-Mades. I've been trying to mix up the combinations for some variety, but it's still only on the weird-weather days that I'm struggling. Melbourne is doing it's normal crazy weather routine. I can't believe the month is going so fast though, less than a week left to go.

Me-Made-March - Days 8-16

Half way through the month and all is still going well. It's becoming instinct to choose from my me-made garments each day, so it'll be interesting to see how things go once March is over, I imagine it'll feel weird for a bit.

     

Day 8 (Tuesday) - Me-made purple t-shirt (with black jeans or khaki shorts)
Day 9 (Wednesday) - Me-made "twin spruce" knock-off dress
Day 10 (Thursday) - Me-made green leafy skirt
Day 11 (Friday) - Me-made leafy blue and white dress
Day 12 (Saturday) - Me-made purple tank (with shorts)
Day 13 (Sunday) - Me-made purple tank (with shorts)
Day 14 (Monday) - Me-made butterfly skirt (with two blue tank tops)
Day 15 (Tuesday) - Me-made purple tank (freshly washed, don't worry) (with purple jumper and black jeans)
Day 16 (Wednesday) - Me-made "twin spruce" knock-off dress (with pale blue cardi)


There are still a fair few me-made items that I haven't worn yet, so in theory it shouldn't get too boring through the second half of the month.
