Me Made May weeks 1 & 2 done! My pledge this month Me Made May weeks 1 & 2 done! My pledge this month is to wear a minimum of one me made garment every day with no outfit repeats. As a loud & proud outfit repeater, I always enjoy the MMM challenge that is finding new ways to wear what I have. It flips the daily ‘what-do-i-wear?’ script which easily/usually/mostly defaults to a combination of pieces that I’ve worn before. Also, May in Melbourne always delivers a weather rollercoaster that swings between weirdly warm and bloody cold, so transitioning between those extremes adds an extra level of wardrobe consideration (and wardrobe layers) that I love.

We’re sharing our daily Me Made Mays in stories and saving them in a MMM26 highlights, but if you’d like any outfit/pattern details seen here, let me know in the comments.

Swipe to the end for her original RTW inspiration from Sir The Label.
