Holy macaroni, how are we approaching the end of May so fast!?! I must say that I'm really getting into Me-Made-May and I have high hopes for next year! For now, I'm pleased that I managed another four days this week...

This was a most awesome day as I got to meet up with Winnie and Catherine! It was a good call wearing this dress, as both my partners in (fabric shopping) crime were rocking their very own spectacular makes!

Your me-made outfits are sooooo cute Marie!! I'm especially loving your floral Grainline T and the denim Ginger. And of course I love all your collars!! Well done you for achieving more than your pledge, and for being so good with your pictures - I'm failing miserably at photographing my outfits... So much so that I've pretty much given up. Thinking I'll just do a best of roundup type thing at the end of the month! x
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your sweet comments! To be honest, photographing yourself isn't the biggest part of the challenge is it? So the fact that you're wearing self-made clothes this month surely is enough ;o) I love the idea of a roundup at the end of the month though!
DeleteLove the ensembles. Keep it up. The denim ginger is fab.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much!
DeleteSo cute. The denim ginger and stripe top combo is a definite winner. BTW how much has your hair grown since you started this blog!!
ReplyDeletePx
Thank you Portia and yes, it has really grown. In fact, it's in dire need of a cut to be honest...it's looking all ratty at the ends...yuck!!!
DeleteI adore your outfits!!! The blue Mad Men dress is such a spectacular style on you, especially with that color :) Excellent choice for a meet-up, I say!
ReplyDeleteAaaw, thanks!
DeleteAm loving your MMM styling lady! I'm finding it tough... bring on the brighter weather!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joanne! Even though you say you're finding it tough, you still manage to make it seem effortless ;o)
DeleteAaaah I have a coat almost exactly like that Dahlia one!
ReplyDeleteHehe...I love it!
DeleteAll your outfits look so adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Cecili!
Deletelovely outfits :) you've got a really lovely me-made wardrobe. Can't believe how close the end of May is, and still no sun!
ReplyDeleteI think our luck is about to change as it gets warm from tomorrow...fingers crossed ;o)
DeleteGorgeous outfits as always! I can't believe May is nearly over. You have done really well with this challenge. I wish I had some maternity clothes I had made so I could take part. I want to sew some but I fear by the time I get my act together the pregnancy will be nearly finished.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kat and I love seeing updates on your bump! Have you looked at any Megan Nielsen maternity patterns? Some of the wrap-over tops seem fairly simple to make...?
DeleteThe Mad Men dress day was my favorite! You did such a good job on that dress. Your jacket is adorable too.
ReplyDeleteThank Amy! I wish I could say I made the jacket too!
DeleteGreat weak of outfit, my fav is the mad man day... I'm loving the poses too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rachel, but you're the queen of poses ;o)
DeleteOoh ooh, I LOVE that Pendrall & your detachable collar! You are such a fab dresser :D
ReplyDeleteThank you and ditto ;o)
Deletecute cute cute!!! They all look great! I'm hoping to build up my wardrobe so I can participate next year. Looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteGood on you Shannon, you can do it!
DeleteOh my gosh that collar! Too cute for words!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, I went a bit mad and made loads last year!
DeleteYour outfits are all so cute! I LOVE your style! Your denim Ginger looks so cute with that striped top, and your Pendrell is absolutely perfect! I'm so jealous that you got to meet Winnie!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, you're too kind! And Winnie's a superstar, so glad I got to meet her!
DeleteReally inspiring :) As a newbie I hope to someday have a wardrobe of me-made stuff that's as cute as yours :)
ReplyDeleteOh wow, thank you! I'm sure you will, just keep working at it!
DeleteCute, cute, cute!!!! I love your makes Marie they are adorable & I think you look gorgeous
ReplyDeleteAll outfits are adorable! I love your Pendrell blouse, and you're right the fit does look perfect. The Mad Men dress is one of my favorites of your creations. It looks so fabulous on you.
