I decided sort of lackadaisically to participate in Me Made May. I'm working nights, living in limbo and it means I commit to anything these days rather hesitantly. Even wearing things I make. Which I do anyway.
Because I don't change clothes on a normal schedule (nights! and surfing!) I'm not bothering to take photos of me in the clothes. I have put in a modicum of effort to make sure I'm wearing something me made almost all the time, though - I think I didn't sleep in me-mades this week but sure, I can fix that for the next few weeks. Conveniently enough I'm about to make even more loungepants!
This also forced me to finally learn how to make photo collages. I'm so behind on the concept that there is an app for everything.
Week one included the following items:
Many tshirts: Briar and 2 Renfrews - the red one is upcycled
Mission maxi upcycled tank.
Mystery swimsuit, pattern tester.
Hampshire pants
Calyer pants.
New Jalie cardigan, soon-to-be blogged
I'm perfectly aware that my wardrobe in New Zealand ends up always falling back on comfortable, easy wearing but not necessarily flattering basics. I am repeatedly surprised how much wear these Hampshire pants have gotten but they are the perfect post-surf pants for fall and winter, which means I wear them regularly once the weather is too cold for capri length pants.
