Technically, tomorrow is the “half-way” point for Me-Made May, but I wanted to share my progress so far (plus, I have another post going up tomorrow).  It’s been a lot easier than I thought to wear something me-made every day!  Even with this funky up-and-down weather so far this month, my handmade wardrobe can accommodate more weather changes than in the past when I’ve participated in Me-Made May, which is a big plus.  It’s also kicking me in the butt to actually wear real clothes during the week instead of my usual yoga pants and tees when I work from home, hahaha.

I’m noticing a theme here – lots of pink and blue so far!

How’s your Me Made May 14 challenge going this year?

    Wonderful job on the Me-Made items, I think all of them look fantastic. Mine is going pretty good, really thinking about what items I will wear each day. I do admit to missing some of my favorite RTW items!

    Lots of knits! That's my kind of Me Made May. How do you get so many good outfit selfies? I can never incorporate my whole outfit 🙂 I love your Archer and Papercut sweatshirt especially.
