Round Up: Me Made May 2014

I really enjoyed doing Me Made May this year. The act of wearing me made clothes every day is not difficult at all anymore. My wardrobe is predominantly me made and I actually like wearing clothes that I've made. It helps that my sewing ability has improved dramatically in the last few years. I've also succeeded in identifying what suits me and what I will actually wear. The challenge for me this year was to cleanse my wardrobe, identify gaps and start to plan myself a bit of a capsule wardrobe.

The first step in this process was reviewing what I wore during May.

The clear favourites for May were my Sewaholic Cordova Jacket, Tessuti Anita Pants, Colette Moneta, various Vogue 1250's & my Style Arc Harper Jacket.

The next step is giving my wardrobe a good cleanse. I need to be ruthless! After this I'm going to work out what I need in my wardrobe and plan a basic wardrobe. I know that another work jacket is high on the list, as well as loose tops and another pair of Anita pants.

I hope you enjoyed your sneak peek into my wardrobe. I certainly enjoyed showing you my daily outfits and playing along with Me Made May 2014. Thanks to Zoe for organising another fabulous MMM and here's to MMM2015!!
