Since it’s oh, JUNE, I figured I should get around to posting my final outfit pics from the last week of Me Made May. I’m glad it’s over – I don’t know how these fashion bloggers do it, pulling outfits together and shooting photos everyday. I wasn’t even doing it everyday, like some of my sewing compadres, and I don’t even know how they managed to get through! Whew, another Me Made May down.
The last week of May was hell for me – I had major craziness going on at work for a corporate visit and worked about 60 hours that week, so it was a bit of a stretch finding time to pull together me-made outfits that would translate to work attire. I did so on one day, with an easy knit top under a black cardigan, but that was the extent of trying to work sewn stuff in to my work wardrobe. The eyelet top was worn on May 31, the very last day, post-work and pool relaxation.
Day 1: Fandango top, Target cardi
Day 2: Calvin Klein Inspired top, Tommy Hilfiger shorts
What did I learn this year? I’m a jeans and tee kinda gal. Yes, I live in my dresses in the warmer months and love to wear them, but when the temps are still kinda cool (seriously, wtf May, you were cold), I like being able to throw on a comfy top with some skinny jeans and calling it a day. Oh, and layering pieces – I need more knit cardis! It was a lot easier this year to meet my goals that I set, which makes sense since I’ve made more garments since last year, but I still have the same holes in my closet that I did last year: not enough coordinating separates.
With that being said, off I go to make a comfy Scout tee.
