I was able to keep up with my personal challenge of wearing a Me Made item in conjunction with the style prompts from Style Sisters on FB. It was definitely a challenge.
Sunday, style prompt- Dots and Stripes or Stripes and Flowers. I made this tunic 4 years ago from Ottobre 2/2012, it was just before I found out I was pregnant with my third. I don't think I've worn it since. I'll have to give it a few wears this summer.
Monday, style prompt- Boho. These are my favorite summer pants- not Me Made but I did alter them last year. I actually narrowed the leg and added a yoga waist band. I'm wearing the red top I made during the Basics week at the end of April.
Tuesday, style prompt- tone on tone. My ever present Iris Shorts with a Target Tee that has seen much better days.
Wednesday, style prompt- cropped pants. I actually don't wear many cropped pants, find them to cut me in a weird way. These aren't too bad though. I will replace these, hopefully, this summer with the Morgan boyfriends as the fit on these is all sorts of bad! The top is Buttericks 5495, great pattern, I really should find some fabric to make another.
Thursday, style prompt- Favorite Tunic. My tunic is actually a Salvation Army find from Land's End. Its a wonderful voile fabric which is great in the heat and humidity we get here. I paired it with my lengthened Iris Shorts from last summer.
Friday, style prompt- unexpected color combinations. Iris shorts again!
Saturday, style prompt- flip flops or oxford. Of course you can't actually see my flip flops but they are there. Sorry about the washed out picture. The top is my sleeveless Sis Boom Shana. I have put this top in the recycle pile as it has just not been my favorite ever. I think the fabric is just too stiff. I've got some voile to make a new one this summer.
Sunday, style prompt- A little bit or a lot of pattern. Polka dots and Jalie swimwear to the rescue! This is a prototype for my summer suit. I love it. I'll likely make the sleeves longer. I also make a SUAT Brazi bra to wear under and it peeks out of the neckline. I'm thinking I may just go with a cheap underwire bra instead- I may need a little perking up in that area.
Monday was actually a repeat of Sunday as we spent the day at the pool.
Tuesday, style prompt- Your signature look/formula. This outfit is definitely my summer formula. Tank or tee and shorts. I'll put a long sleeve button-down on top for A/C and/or bug protection but otherwise you'll find me in some variation of this all summer. The top is the Seamworks Aurora. I'll definitely be making more to freshen up my tank collection.
So thats Me Made May!
Enjoy.
