I wrote this post and inserted pictures, labelled them, and then accidentally deleted the lot last night! Needless to say, I went to bed in a very bad mood. So I am beginning all over again.

| Day 1 Portfolio dress |
I wasn't sure whether to take part in Me Made May. I participated each time and always enjoyed myself, loving the comunity and I have met some blogger friends through Zoe's me-made months. But recently life has thrown a few wobblers my way and I am very very tired. And ver very low on free time. So I have done my own Minnado thing:
 |
| Day 3 - April Rhodes Staple Dress |
 |
| Day 4 - Simplicity/ Sew Lisette Portfolio top and Sew Liberated Skinny jeans |
I decided to do weekly round up posts and see how my month of photos looks at the end.
Eagle eyed readers will notice no Day 2 picture. I just didn't get to take one. But promise I wore my grey lola dress.
 |
| Day 6 - Simplicity 3835 top and Sew liberated jeans |
So far, I have realised: May in the UK can mean many different weathers.
And taking a photo a day highlights the varying levels of energy and mood swings!
 |
Day 7 - Amy Butler Anna tunic. I have worn this for four years now and
never saw how unflattering it is till now :)

I agree about the weather - I have worn a summer dress at the beginning of the week and a knitted hat and scarf at the end of it! Good job though as I am terrible at getting distracted with projects so have quite a mix of stuff!!
ReplyDeleteHee, hee - you made me laugh! I wore tights today and shivered all morning then felt too hot at 3pm....can't win I guess :)
DeleteGood for you for taking it on, your way! I ultimately decided not to go for it this year, but I'm still enjoying following everybody's efforts. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I am glad you are still here, commenting and participating xx
DeleteI hear you about the variable spring temperatures- it's cold and rainy today, but supposed to be hot, sunny, and humid tomorrow. So strange! I think my favorite look here is the Staple dress with the orange cardigan. I love those colors on you!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) I love the Staple dress - I think it is a pattern with lots of potential for different variations. the fabric came from my mum's stash!
DeleteIsn't it funny how everyone sees different things in photographs? I think we are always our own worst critic. I looked at that last picture and thought, what a lovely outfit, the colours are so pretty! I really enjoyed looking at your week 1. I especially like all the colours in your outfits. I really must make something more colourful and less neutral soon and damn, those jeans are looking great!!
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree with you about how we see different things - I think the photo to me showed a shapelessness but I will probably still wear that top as I love the fabric :)
DeleteIt's good to see old friends from your wardrobe and new ones too- loving your staple dress. And you have got gorgeous colours I agree, no matter the weather!!
ReplyDeleteSo funny, Winnie, that you "know" the old wardrobe friends! I think I will make at least one more staple dress but just looking or for some drapey fabric for it xx
Delete:) I feel with you! And May around here has also shown the strangest weather. Really cool for the first couple of weeks and now it feels like the middle of summer! Anyway, I really like your colourful outfits. :)
