Self-Stitched-September: Days 10, 11 & 12

Since I arrived back in UK a few weeks ago, I feel I've spent most of my time since on trains heading here there and everywhere for various engagements and obligations. SSS Days 10 - 12 were no exception and once again I took to the tracks to head to the Middle of Nowhere, Suffolk, for a good friends wedding.

Day 10:

The new trousers which debuted on Day 9 are seeing more action here. Their nautical overtones accentuated by being paired with my stripey T-shirt, anchor necklace, my two-week-old anchor tattoo (which actually brings hints of nautical to every outfit from here on out!) and nautical pants. This was a really comfy outfit for travelling, so pleased I got round to making trousers sooner rather than later during this self-stitched month.

Day 11:

The day of the wedding itself (AKA Day 11) was a fantastic day, made all the more fun by staying with a heap of close friends in the same guest house which facilitated girly gettings-ready. I do love an excuse to get glammed up. When I first realised the wedding would coincide with SSS, my initial thoughts went towards my coral wiggle dress which I wore to my cousin's wedding during Me-Made-May. But having already worn it to two weddings now, I wanted to wear something else. I was sure if my Rockabilly dress was wedding-appropriate, but the bride said it was cool, so that's what I decided to rock (with self-stitched leopard coat and pants, of course). Because the top of the dress was made from remnants of my leopard coat fabric, when I wear the two together there's a bizarre lack of contrast (see above) and I'm basically smothered in a sea of leopard print. But with my dark hair and a whole lot of makeup, you can more or less make out my head!

Much, much later:

Day 12:

Day 12 was a day for hangovers, train delays and evidently rubbish photography. Difficult to make out, but I'm basically wearing the same outfit as Day 9 (though different pants, promise). That's Mumma E there draining sweetcorn, say hi!
