May has finished and so has my challenge. I got rid of a lot of t-shirts before the month started, so I was perfectly happy to wear store bought ones where needed. T-shirts was the only category of which I wore all the me-mades I own. The weather fluctuated massively, so some days I wore scarves and other days short sleeved dresses could be worn by themselves.
As you can see, I managed to wear a fair amount of non-pants, over half of the days. I also apparently have made a lot of clothes, because at the end of the challenge, my cupboard was not as full but also certainly not empty. Some of the items were not worn because there simply was no time, or the weather didn’t fit. Some because I simply didn’t want to.
I took pictures of all the stuff that I didn’t wear. The colourful plaid pants below are no longer comfortable, so they have been excised from the wardrobe. As was a pair of pinstriped shorts. The skirt from May 10 has also been promoted to the donate pile. There are some things still left that I probably won’t wear again but can’t let go of for sentimental reasons.
And I didn’t opt to try and scavenge all the accessories that I did or dit not use. Like bags, scarves, shawls, coats etc. I do like wearing my stuff out, so a successful May for me!
