Me Made May15 Days 14 20

Me Made May15 Days 14 20


Umm, how are we two thirds the way through Me-Made-May15?! Every year this month seems to race but at an unnecessary speed! I guess with all the extra blogging, photographing and social media interaction, its like theres no time to come up for air until the month is over. Thanks goodness theres the Me-Made-May15 Flickr group and Pinterest board to go back to in case we miss any gems during the craziness. Anyways, lets talk about clothes.


Day 14 (kind of cheating because this photo is actually from Day 5, but I wore exactly the same on Day 14 but failed to get a photo taken)
Me-Mades:
Ceylon dress
Vest
Undies



Day 15 (Today was the Flickr groups theme Something Old, so I unearthed this top which I havent worn for over two years since before I became pregnant)
Me-Mades:
Jade peplum knit top
Leopard print Jenna cardi
Vest
Undies
(worn with secondhand jeans)



Day 16 (Spent on trains, not an impressive number of me-mades being worn here, Ill admit. Im not proud of myself. I always struggle with what to wear to travel in.)

Thoughts this week:

  • I failed to pack successfully for a little trip we made Up North. It was MUCH colder than I expected. Ive ended up wearing trousers/jeans more than my allotted allowance this week, so I have to wear a skirt or dress for an extra day next week. 
  • Im using all this skirt and dress wearing as an opportunity to figure out which pairs of my tights I can bear to wear for more than 10 minutes and which I cannot. Those that are too uncomfortable or tight around my waist are being put in the textile recycling bin or being kept aside for potential refashioning like I did with these.
