First a little MMM'12 housekeeping. Today is the very first day of Me-Made-May 2012!!! Yay! I am going to do this a little different than I did for SSS'11. This time around I am going to try very very very hard to post every day this month! I want to do a more 'How I wore it' type of thing. So I will be listing everything I wore and where it's from. As part of my MMM'12 promise I said I would were a different handmade garment each day with no repeats. For just a little more clarification, if I do repeat a garment it must be worn with another that is not. I had intended to do a bit more sewing last month since I mostly only have tops for myself, but I only made myself 2 pieces. Both of which were tops, surprise surprise! Hopefully I will be able to get a few new things sewn this month to include as well. We'll see how this goes this month! {crosses fingers}
Today's look:
Top: Color-blocked top by me,
B5753 free
Bottoms: Jeans by Mossimo at Target $28.00
Necklace: Meijer $5.00 on clearance
Sadly I couldn't get a good enough angle on myself to get my shoes in the picture but they are black patent flats from Payless for $9.00.
Total outfit cost: $42.00
This is the first time I have worn this top in public. If you remember I was pretty on the fence about it when I finished it. Since it has been sitting in my closet it has grown on me a little. But today I got so many complements on it and I have come to really like it. It is actually really really comfortable, except for the occasional scratchy sequin on the back of my neck. This is definitely a keeper. On a side note, it rained a lot here today so when I got home my pants were soaked. For pure comfort I put on my black leggings and think that they also look great with this top.
I really like the top and can't wait to see what else you're wearing this month. I'd love to do the MMM, but I don't think I have enough clothing to wear a whole month unless I do wash more than once a week.
