During the course of the month I learned that I have made lots of clothes that I didn't get around to wear, and that I really should put more thought into picking my outfits each day (instead of whatever is clean). I had a great time. Looking forward to MMM'12!!<br /><br />p.s. the Friday dress is awesome! I only wish I could wear something like that to the office!Lovenickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08043206559384867635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-38461373281608052672011-10-03T17:22:04.684+01:002011-10-03T17:22:04.684+01:00Zoe, thanks so much for hosting SSS again.

It's always eye-opening both in terms of what I end up wearing, and seeing other people's outfits.<br /><br />Speaking of which, I agree with Jessica, it is quite likely that people are staring at the Frida dress with interest, because the dress is not only unusual, it is also pretty. Maybe we all need to challenge ourselves to wear our unusual dresses more!Sigridhttp://analogme.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-48347417182644147872011-10-03T15:43:20.413+01:002011-10-03T15:43:20.413+01:00Zoe - Thanks for hosting.

And since I could not find an email address on your blog, would you mind contacting me at<br />AllStyleAndAllSubstance AT gmail ? Thank you! xo Adrienne<br />p.s.: It's really too bad you don't wear your Frida dress more often. It doesn't seem THAT loud to me. It's just a fun, cute dress! But in another sense I understand. I've worn my Lobster dress maybe 3 times because I feel self-conscious in it. You have to be in a mood to attract attention and to get reactions from people, which is not that often in my case.Adriennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05789835649001447699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-88483129001313864062011-10-02T11:02:02.440+01:002011-10-02T11:02:02.440+01:00I'm very glad you're hosting these me-made...I'm very glad you're hosting these me-made challenges, even though I couldn't participate this time around - living in scrubs for 3 weeks really does crimp your style a bit... ;) I've branched out, though, and I'm doing self-stitched weekends now! :)<br /><br />That Frida dress really does look awesome on you!

SSS 2011 is done!<br /><br />I'm very similar to you, last year it really felt a stretch, but this year I have heaps of self stitched stuff, that's versatile to weather extremes and for my busy lifestyle. I'm going to write up my thoughts this week on the month, to reflect what I've gained... but I wonder if you'd consider a selfstitched YEAR? xoxoVeronicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13296082281008121123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-56196386269051904652011-10-01T22:17:23.579+01:002011-10-01T22:17:23.579+01:00I am particularly envious of your Frida Dress.

I think if you catch people staring at your dress, it's probably from "I WANT THAT" lust rather than "what is she wearing?"<br /><br />At least, that's always been what I tell myself ;-).<br /><br />But truly, that dress is gorgeous. I'm pretty darn sure people are just staring covetously rather than judgmentally - your boss included!jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14891339427334605978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-88966849247973801422011-10-01T18:15:31.289+01:002011-10-01T18:15:31.289+01:00I had a wonderful time this past month.

The central flower on the bodice and the lace (?) trimmed hem make such an impact.<br />I was a SSS 2011 participant, and I wore at least two self made items every day, but I didn't get too many pictures taken, but I did keep up a spreadsheet with each days outfits listed. (Yes - severe computer geek, here).<br /><br />I also participated in SSS 2010 just after I had gotten back into sewing after a long break, and this month I managed a lot more self stitched items, including wearing all self stitched sleepwear and loungewear, so it has been fun making those.Dorothyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16241117322422647593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464662522153586853.post-31044185306574753012011-10-01T13:57:32.283+01:002011-10-01T13:57:32.283+01:00Well done yet again Zo!
