Day 13:
Hanging with Pappa E required self-stitched skirt, vest, ruffle-front jumper and pants. Me-Made-March, Me-Made-May and SSS have taught me skirts aren't just for Christmas, but can be successful and comfy everyday wear. However, having been enjoying the comfort of my new black sailor trousers, it was difficult getting back into skirts that are required for variety.
Day 14:
Possibly the least cohesive outfit I've ever rocked: the self-stitched navy tulip skirt, raglan sleeve blouse, Saint Cardigan and pants combo sufficed as I packed my belongings ready for the big move south.
Day 15:
As with our move from Barcelona to UK, the Essex to Brighton stage was also undertaken by train with all we could carry, the rest of our belongings following by road. Self-stitched navy tulip skirt, stripey T-shirt, vest, pants and leopard coat was my travelling and unpacking outfit of choice.
Day 16:
I hit the ground running by starting my new job the day after moving. For this I wore my black sailor trousers and the black stretch top you may recall I hastily prepared for the job trial a week or so ago. Phew! Busy and crazy day. Umm, I'm hoping it's a trick of the camera, otherwise I may be forced to admit that these trousers make me look incredibly short.
Anyway, as I have previously written, for me the challenge this month is not to prove that I can get by in only self-stitched garments but instead to attempt to do so under difficult circumstances. This month so far has been challenging and exciting at best, unsettled and trying at worst, but so far it's all happened in self-stitched garments. Apologies for my current lack of photographic cohesion or stylistic pizzazz, I hope those times are coming.

I think you've coped admirably & stylishly under pressure :)!
Hope the move-in goes smoothly, when I'm next in Brighton I shall keep an eye out on the streets for a sailor-inspired lady LOL!
Happy New Flat! You are lookign very co-ordinated with th enew streamlined wardrobe. Hope the move has gone smoothly and you can enjoy first weekend in Brighton.
Always wonderful to follow your progress! You keep upping the ante on wardrobe challenges.
Transitions are always difficult, but your style hasn't suffered a bit. :) Aloha to you, Zoe.
You may be in the midst of chaos and transition but your sparkly smile and great fashion sense are with you. Love the stripes!!!
I reckon you're doing a great job, and you'll have plenty of great photography locations in Brighton once you're settled in (I grew up nearby and visit friends there regularly, it's a great town)! And of course it's home to the wonderful Snooper's Paradise - a second hand lover's dream!
Enjoy the tasty wine and the new adventures ahead :)
how exciting, so your new life is starting already! I wish you all the best for the new job, new town, new flat. love your outfits, as always!

ohhh exciting. Hope the packing & unpacking are going well. Still loving those pants!
You look beautifully put-together and co-ordinated, so are truly proving you CAN do this with great style! Congratulations!
Wowzers, you're a super woman! Moving country, new job AND self-enforced wardrobe restrictions. Ooh and I've got those bed sheets, BTW. Good old Ikea!
I love the pic of you with your man... and the leopard skin print is great on you.
AND... SO EXCITING... I heard SSS mentioned on the radio this morning (Triple J in Australia). Apparently Amelia Chappelow, a former producer there, is taking part, which is why she was talking about it. But I can't find her blog... if anyone knows the details let me know! http://stylewilderness.blogspot.com
Anyway just wanted to tell you SSS is famous!!
I actually think you are at an advantage with your pared-down wardrobe, because everything "goes". There's none of that awful "I made it so I have to wear it... even though it is a ghastly shade of ochre which makes me look sick"! I do love your sailor trousers. Sounds like they have the place in your wardrobe that my Bella's have in mine!
The outfits you have put together under difficult circumstances are better than I manage under the BEST circumstances!!
OMG! Thanks fourth daughter for the info! High fives for SSS!!!!!!!!!! We are famous. Any more info out there, please let me know!!!!!!!! xxx
You're looking great despite moving and adjusting to everything. Love the yellow tights!
