Wrapping up 2014 & Starting 2015 – The Self-Made Wardrobe Week 22

02 Jan 2015

The Self-Made Wardrobe is a project where I only wear garments I’ve made.
It’s sort of a year long experiment in getting dressed without clothing labels.

DAY 148 – DECEMBER 26th

Blue & Green Archer Button Up Shirt
Black Scarf
Basic Black Tank Top
Graphic Silk Circle Skirt
Black Tights
Black Heels
Various Rings

The trip back from the parent’s house after Christmas, called for a comfy, cozy, put-together outfit, plus heels.

DAY 149 – DECEMBER 27th

Hand-Knit Sweater Dress
Basic Black Tank Top
Black Leggings
Various Rings

I really hope no one minds if I basically live in this dress + leggings for the rest of the winter, because they’re the perfect combination for cold days in front of the computer.

DAY 150 – DECEMBER 28th

Boring Black Sweater
Basic Black Tank Top
Birds & Wheels Flare Skirt
Black Leggings
Long Necklace
Various Rings

I haven’t worn this skirt much this year, it’s one of the few handmade pieces I had before I started this self-made wardrobe project, and usually it never sees the light of day once the temperature drops into tights wearing territory. But it’s a really cute skirt, and I’m glad I pulled it out the other day. (You can see better photos from the first attempt at this project, here.)

DAY 151 – DECEMBER 29th

Versio Sweater
Basic Black Tank Top
Graphic Silk Circle Skirt
Black Tights
Brown Boots
Bicycle Clock Necklace
Various Rings

I think I need to finish some more clothes if only for the fact that it’ll give me something new to talk about. It turns out I get tired of talking about outfits, before I get tired of wearing them, and I’m sure you’re more than tired of looking at the same things over and over by now. 🙂

DAY 152 – DECEMBER 30th

Blue & Green Archer Button Up Shirt
Basic Black Tank Top
Black Scarf
Cascading Flowers Skirt
Bead Crochet Bracelet
Various Rings

I spent the last couple days of 2014 ensconced at home finishing projects, meeting deadlines, and generally wrapping up 2014.

DAY 153 – DECEMBER 31st

Blue & Green Archer Button Up Shirt
Basic Black Tank Top
Graphic Silk Circle Skirt
Black Leggings
Various Rings

This is a little embarrassing to admit, but I still haven’t put buttons on my Archer button up shirt, even though I’ve worn it many times. I have the buttons, I have my sewing machine, I have my button hole foot, but the buttons have still not made their way onto the shirt yet. Buttons & button holes is the final step on this shirt, and at this point it’s just sheer laziness that this shirt isn’t completely done.
