Me Made May 16: Day 29-31 + REVIEW

Wowza! An entire month wearing me-mades completed and not one single repeat - AND I have more options in my closet that I didn't even wear! It really is wonderful to realize that all my clothes are handmade and I've gotten to the point where they all fit properly and I get great comfort and joy out of wearing them!

Me Made May 16: Day 22-28

Last week to party....erm...I mean of Me Made May....nah - who am I kidding - Wearing Me Mades every day and taking instagram photos of it is my kind of party! Don't judge!

Me Made May 16: Day 8-14

And another week has come and gone. I appreciate that my work environment allows me to wear all my me-mades and they are appropriate attire. This makes it easier for me to meet the challenge. I'm realizing that there are only a few basic staple items (Black cardigans, Tights, and leggings) that I wear that are not me-made. I don't have one single item of non me-made on any of my hooks or in my main drawers. Any RTW items I own are in the back of the closet and I'd have to go searching...

Me Made May 16: Day 1-7

And one week is complete. And I realize how much easier it is this year to dress in me-mades. Not only do I have significantly more me-Mades in my closest to choose from; but they are executed better, more my style, and with higher quality fabrics.  These three things really do make a significant difference. But that comes with time and practice. Day 1 Building Ikea #Applaro furniture on the first day of #MMMay16 wearing my favourite handmade item my anchors #v1102 A photo...
