Day 14
What I wore:
Sweater: Suzanne Grae
Top: Handmade, blogged here, worn to work
Pants: Suzanne Grae
Shoes: Wittner
Thoughts:
The challenge today was to take our photo with water. Mine was the barrel in our backyard in which we were going to plant a water lily but haven't done so yet. I like the combination of this outfit. It works well for me as work attire. However I've never really been happy with the fit of this top. After a few wearings I've now figured out why. The pattern calls for shoulder pads which I haven't used. I left them behind in the '80's and don't really want to revisit them. I do however need to work out how to adjust the pattern for a better fit without them.
Day 15
What I wore:
Sweater: Can't remember, I've had it for many years
Top: Suzanne Grae
Scarf: Handmade
Pants: Kmart
Shoes: Williams the Shoeman
Thoughts:
RTW pants never fit me well. Having never made pants, I really need to try my hand at making pants/trousers/jeans. Any or all of them. I do love the colour combination in the scarf, it works so well with the colours I wear the most. Blue and purple.
Day 16
What I wore:
Coat: Target
Top: Handmade, seen previously
Jeans: Target
Shoes: Nike
Thoughts:
Admiring the view of the beach from the hill. Still not sure about the colour of this top on me but I love this shade of red.
Day 17
What I wore:
Sweater: Temt
Top: Handmade, Kwik Sew 3338
Jeans: Target
Shoes: Nike
Thoughts:
Having a picnic lunch in the gardens near our beach house with our youngest daughter. It was warm enough to take off my cardigan just after this photo was taken. This is a long short sleeve (elbow length) version of this top and is perfect for casual wear.
Day 18
What I wore:
Sweater: Target, purchased last week
Top: Handmade, worn previously
Jeans: Sussan
Shoes: Nike
Thoughts:
I love this top. It's turning out to be very versatile. Worn casually out to the beach to watch David and Jacqui fishing. I'm not into fishing, but love the beach.
With the changing seasons I'm finding it hard now as I'm repeating everything I have worn before. I still haven't got enough to wear for these challenges to make it varied and interesting and not boring but am finding where the gaps are in my wardrobe. How about you?
great that you are putting in the effort to photo yourself every day . YOu are doing well to wear something you have sewn daily. I love your tops - these are my favourite to sew.
ReplyDeleteI think you're doing well! I smiled at your comment that you were not into fishing but loved the beach; me too, very much so!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your comment, and yes that little top is very comfortable. Hardly noticed it was on really, it is such a light little thing, purely for looks and not warmth.
Thank you for your comment Shelly; the blue bits were not a long-sleeved Tshirt but my handwarmers I knitted just this winter! Are you putting your piccies on to the flickr group this time?
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I think I was putting my pics on Flickr at the same time you were here. I didn't do it when I posted as I was on the usb internet and didn't want to use up all my allowance.
