Me Made May 2014 begins!

May just kind of crept up on me! Yes I signed up for 'So Zo's Me Made May 2014 Challenge again. This is my 3rd year in a row I think. My pledge this year, is to wear at least 2 pieces of me-made, me-refashioned, me-altered garment and/or accessories every single day for the month of May. This is actually a very easily accomplished goal because I carry my Me-Made cross-body purse every day already and 70% of my closet consists of Me-Made clothing/accessories.

So here are some pics of my outfits for the first week. I'm only naming the me-made or me-altered garments and accessories.

    1. Thanks Sarah Liz! I'm sure you will. I had been sewing/refashioning about 2 garments per month for a few years now. That's about 24 garments/accessories per year. They do add up quickly!
