So each Sunday I'm going to share a photo of my favourite me-made outfit of the previous week, like I did
last Sunday whilst announcing the new
Me-Made-Living flickr group. The reason I want to do this is kind of two-fold. I want to remind people that me-mades are for life, not just Me-Made-May! Plus I want to keep pushing myself to try new combinations of self-stitched items to get the most from my creations and not to just always rely on the same tried and tested combinations. I figured lots of new combinations from the last Me-Made-May '12 challenge as well as how to bring in some of my newer and previously unused creations, I don't want to go back to resting my on laurels. I will also briefly reflect on what worked, so hopefully I will actually learn to put outfits together more successfully for my everyday life.
Me-mades:
Denim sailor trousers (Burda pattern)
Pants (knickers)
Vest (camisole)
This outfit, although not particularly innovative or revelatory, was a success because I wore it all day to work, then to head home quickly to stuff my face with dinner, then stomp across town to a swing dance class, then for a cheeky post-class half of cider, and them back home again. I was pretty exhausted by the end of the day but at no point do I think I felt uncomfortable in my clothing.

Cute, Zoe! And hand-made undies, too!
I'm loving this me me made living! Love the blouse too.
Really cute! I'm also trying to incorporate more handmade stuff into my daily wardrobe; it's so easy to pass over my me-made things in favor of my ready-to-wear staples, but I'm trying to work on it.

I love your style!
It's so encouraging to hear that Brighton have created a post like yours.
I'm a bit older than you, but in my youth I made similar clothes.
How are you getting your ideas across, other than this blog?
Fabulous! Also love that you went swing dancing - it's such fun isn't it?
Zoe, you look just lovely!
