One Week

I did not sign up for Me Made May, I had doubts as to whether I had enough stuff to do it and I certainly didn't have the willpower, although I do like wearing things I made.  However, it occurred to me, as I was perusing blogs, that I had worn something I made the first 4 days of May so I thought I would see if I could continue.  As I would expect, as soon as I decided to follow the plan, I was itching to get out of it.

 I made it for six days straight.  On the 7th, I started out with something I made but then decided I hated the outfit and took it off as soon as we got home from an appointment.  The clothes I did want to wear were not made by me.  So goes it.  I did notice, as I was putting up these pictures though, that I have worn my favorite robe, made by me two years ago, every day this week, including the days I did not wear things I made out in public.  So I added the photo anyway.  Besides, some of the things I wore in public, were barely noticeable (hand knit socks or a gray tee under the spotted sweater). Yesterday was cold.  We went out.  I wore something I made.

I am now bored with this exercise; not with wearing things I made, just forcing myself to dress from a fixed and limited palette.

I am however eager to make more things and work them into regular rotation.  If I have learned anything it is not to save things for "best".  Wear them or let them rot.
