MMM Day 9 Comfy Knits

I made this skirt in less than half an hour this morning. I wanted something very comfy to wear today and found this stretch knit in my stash. It has little sailboats on it... love. Then I remembered seeing a tutorial over at Mimi G's blog and thought I would give it a whirl. Check it out here. She is very cool. I'm pleased with how mine turned out and can already think of so many ways to wear it.

Today I went for a classic navy and green combo. I'm feeling pretty nautical and preppy right now. I really love fresh bright colors. I paired it with my self made t-shirt. I put these shoes on for the picture but basically went around the house barefoot all day. Comfy.

MMM Day 4 Thank You Friendly Stranger

A possible Friday theme could be "ask a complete stranger to take your picture" . That's what I had to do today. So thank you to the pretty lady named Kayla, whom I pounced upon in the hotel lobby and so sweetly agreed to take my picture! 

Do I look like a 'lady of leisure' here? This dress is like wearing a pair of sweats....sooooo comfy, perfect for lounging around a hotel waiting for Handsome to arrive, leisure dressing right here people. Surreal. I made it from a vintage pattern and you can go check out the details here. 

Me Made May 2013

Wow... I just left a comment on 'So, Zo... What do you know?' pledging to wear one self-made or refashioned  garment everyday for the month of May. I'm excited to do this challenge. I hope to learn to remix the garments I have made into new outfits and be inspired to make more practical everyday pieces. (I love my dresses but they are not always practical)

With this challenge I'm allowed set my own rules, which is nice because although I do make full garments, I also like to refashion and alter clothing.I'm allowing those items to be included as well. Zoe doesn't suggest that anyone do 'panic sewing' to get ready for May...but I can't promise that! I know full well that I will likely do just that....as I have been known to do some last minute sewing in the past. The fact that I have signed up for this challenge before May 1st, is something to be celebrated!

The 'outfit post' component of this challenge will be fun and interesting for me. My only issue might be finding a willing and pleasant photographer on the days that Handsome is away. Any volunteers?
