So far , so good

Re-capping what I have worn this week.  So, far it's been relatively easy to find self stitched items to wear but as the weather seems to be warming up rather quickly it's getting more difficult.   I've found that I don't have anything either self stitched or RTW for those mid season days.  You know the sort.  The ones where it's too warm for a jacket but not warm enough for short or sleeveless styles.   I have so many things I want to sew but they are for Summer wearing.  I may have to re-think my needs and fill some of the gaps I have discovered in my wardrobe.

Now, onto my daily outfits.

Day 9


What I wore:
Coat:  Target, purchased a couple of years ago
Top: Handmade, blogged here 
Jeans: Sussan
Boots: Target

Thoughts:
Worn out shopping, to lunch and a movie with my daughter.  The wind was quite bitter today and this top is made in very thin (really thin) fabric. None-the-less this is a fabulous top which will be made in many versions several more times.  I already have a couple of ideas for Summer wearing.

Day 10 

 
What I wore:
Sweater: Handmade, not blogged
Top:  Suzanne Grae, not seen
Jeans: Target
Shoes: Nike

Thoughts:
We had another cold snap here today so I took the opportunity to wear this sweater while I had a chance.  I had many issues with the pattern and fit while making it and thought it would be next Winter before I got to wear it.  It was lovely and warm to wear but I fear that it may stretch when it's washed.

Day 11



What I wore:
Sweater: Suzanne Grae
Top: Suzanne Grae
Pants: Suzanne Grae
Scarf: Collette Accessories
Shoes: Wittner
 
Thoughts:
Nup!!!  Not a single self-stitched thing.  Nup, nary a one!  This was worn out for lunch to celebrate my son in-law's birthday.  When dressing I found that I really didn't have any suitable handmade things to wear.  A dress would have been nice but I don't have one suitable to wear to a brewery.

Day 12 

What I wore:
Sweater: Postie Fashions
Top: Handmade, seen previously
Jeans: Target
Shoes: Nike
 

Thoughts:
A day at home doing chores and sewing.  I thought when I made this top that it wouldn't get much wear 'cos of the fabric used but I was wrong, I've worn it quite a bit.  Note to self - don't be lazy and always do hair properly as the frizzy look isn't that great.

Day 13
 

What I wore:
Sweater: Track n Field
Top: Handmade, seen previously
Cami: Kmart
Jeans: Target, yep! same as yesterday.
Shoes: Nike
 

Thoughts:
Worn to run errands and attend appointments.  As much as I like this hoodie the colour does nothing for me.  Can't imagine what possessed me to buy it in the first place but I do wear it a lot.  I was going to toss it but, having second thoughts, I think maybe it's headed for a dye bath.


So, that's how I've fared this week.  How about you?

  1. Maybe a light way jacket would help on the transitional weather. Or a long sleevebdress in mid weight fabric.

  2. I think you're doing really well! I admired that jumper in the SSS flickr group also, I think it is just gorgeous! Re the pink top, a dye bath sounds like a good idea. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it.
