me-made May 2015; an overview

So, this year I took part in Zoe's me-made May yet again.  This is my eighth time joining in!
Obviously it's practically an institution now, and even though I'm pretty sure it's not aimed towards people like me; who comfortably wear an entire outfit made by myself every single day and have done for years, well, I still like to join in.  It's fun and maybe I'd feel out-of-it and maybe a bit bereft if I did not!  FOMO!  
ha, did I just successfully employ un buzz-acronym of our time? wow.  Before I know it I might even have got to grips with something else non-dinosaury, like my phone even.  
Or not.
Anyway.  My outfit pictures with the links to everything I am wearing are all in my MMM15 Flickr album here, should anyone wish to have a proper lookie.  I have no idea why some of the pictures are huge, sorry about that.  I think it's the way Flickr organises them or something.

So, the obligatory postmortem...
Did I learn anything?
Nope!  Not really!  That's ok though, I'm fine with just joining in for the sake of it!
Any holes?  Any workhorses?
No holes in my wardrobe, massive surprise, that! haha.  I had a few repeats, but mixed it up some and discovered a few nice new combinations that I liked and will repeat over winter. Most importantly, have reluctantly wrenched some old but tired things, kicking and screaming from my wardrobe and transferred them to the potential Salvoes bag.  *sigh*  The camera is a harsh and wretchedly truthful beast!
Workhorses: in this season; white tops, black tights, little knitted cardigans and brightly coloured little skirts.  For warmth; my moto jacket, and my peppercorn cardigan for lounging around in the evening.
Thoughts on the photos?
I've kind of got my tripod-and-remote routine down pat now and so it's pretty painless and easy.  I kept to one very convenient-to-me location, and allowed myself no more than 1 minute to take a few photos, and just selected one for the Flickr group.
I've thought of doing "interesting" daily photos again like I've done in the past for previous me-made months, but for this year and my current life, just doing boring ones was a good choice for me.

And that's it! I think?  Until next year.  I'm sure I'll probably continue to join in and do this as long as Zoe chooses to host it.
