Me-Made-May Lite: Days 13, 14 & 16

Not much exciting wardrobe-wise going on around here, but I am attempting to bring some color in. I'm incredibly excited about a sewing project I've got in the works, to be unveiled later this week! :)

Day 13



Attempting to do a better pairing with my BBW-knockoff shorts (refashion), after an ill-pairing on Day 8. Better, but I think I may need to sew some real blouses this summer.

Day 14



All I wanted to do on Day 14 was sleep -- the exhaustion of the semester end set in. So leggings and an altered shirt-dress it was! This is an H&M shirt dress I thrifted and it was waaaay too small. I detached the bodice and skirt took out the four darts and put it all back together again.

Day 16: Pool Party!




A friend gave me a pair of her old jeans so I could make these cuffed shorts. My first pair is proving a bit uncomfortable (too tight in the leg), but these are perfect. These have a 5-inch inseam and were made with this wonderful tutorial from Adventures in Dressmaking. Try it!

The shirt, if it's not obvious, I bought in the Philippines (reads "It's always Chilla in Manila"). I think, thanks to these photos, I'm swearing off skin-tight tees soon. I'm too-square shaped to pull it off. That's it, Happy Monday!
