One thing I always, but always get out of me-made months is that I have loads of clothes.... loads. It's slightly embarrassing. I start out the month pep-talking to myself firmly that I am just going to wear whatever takes my fancy and am not going to avoid double-ups; and I do the former, but somehow the latter just happens too.... I dunno why, the silly female self-consciousness about not wanting to appear in the same thing over and over, I suppose. It is silly. I worn nearly all different clothes with only one double-up so far*, and that was only because I was after a certain "look", not because I had run out of un-shown things.
I think maybe I need to do a clean-out... but for a must-wear-it-til-it's-got-a-hole-in-it person like me that's so hard!
These pieces are both old, but are comfy and weather appropriate. They've both been useful basics in my wardrobe for years.
I had to go into the city today. velosewer might recognise my photo spot... I propped my camera on that bench in her background here!
min 13C, max 24C, fine
Details:
Top; my own design, made from a pair of old 3/4 length, charcoal linen mix pants, details here
Skirt; Vogue 7303 lined, ivory wool mix, pre-dates my blog but first seen here
Shoes; Perrini, had for years
the Family MMM13 report: Tim wore this jacket today
Tim's jacket; Burda 7767 modified, grey corduroy, details here and my tutorial for sewing that welt/patch double pocket here
*fyi, the double-up is my ivory curtaining skirt, seen here and here this month.
