Thoughts: I wrote on Instagram on Saturday that I feel this has been a rather dull Me Made May for me. I feel like I'm wearing the same things over and over, and there isn't much in the way of excitement, or fashion directionality. But I recognise in myself a need to get comfy and cosy and to be invisible (sartorially) from time to time. Usually when I am stressed, anxious, mega busy or all 3. And I've been all 3 with regularity this month due to everything else that's been going on. There are loads of handmade garments I haven't worn this month, because I haven't felt like it. And that's OK. What I will say though is that I have enjoyed what I have worn, and it's nice to know that I am making the things I want to wear, regardless of situation or mood. That's a win.
It's lovely to see your MMM post. We need a break from what's going on occasionally! I think you are rather harsh about your style, your clothes look perfect for a busy life and you have some lovely colours and shapes. Dresses always seem to stand out but I love the Stockholm blouse particularly too x
ReplyDeleteYou're doing so well at documenting what you're wearing! I'm totally failing on that this year. I love your Stockholm blouse, and I think you always look stylish!
ReplyDeleteI love all your makes actually. They do look comfortable and suit you. I especially loved your Atelier Scammit Stockholm blouse in that nice bold black and white check. When I went to investigate the pattern on the site I was sad to realize it was all in French - I know a Canadian that can't speak French! I can...meagerly certainly but definitely not well enough to follow sewing pattern instructions :)
ReplyDeleteNice group of outfits - I'm sure you've looked effortless as a result of choosing what makes you feel comfortable.
ReplyDeleteeh, not everything has to be a diva outfit, and isn't it great when the things we feel comfortable in and wear like a second skin of camo are also me made?!
