Me-Made-Mittwoch #7!

This post is a little bit later in the day than usually, because I had to actually sew a little underskirt this morning to be able to present this knitted skirt... This is why I love me-made-Wednesdays. Not only do I have to find new combinations (I try to wear more than one me-made piece), but it makes me actually wear some of the things that have been lying in the closet...

I called the blouse the forgetful-seamstress' blouse in my BurdaStyle studio, (click the link for details) because if I had remembered how difficult whimsy fabrics are to sew, I would have never made this blouse...
I also admit that I would not knit this skirt again, it took FOREVER.
And another confession: I will probably wear those way-less-cool shoes that you see on the floor next to me when I go out for a meeting this afternoon. As much as I love them, I find the ones in the picture too "party"...

A little update: This combination didn't pass the MMM-fashion-police! :-) So maybe finding new combinations should be done with a little more thought... I have to smilingly admit - I felt much better after putting on a regular pair of jeans before leaving the house. But there is this saying: "Wer wagt, gewinnt" (roughly: "you can only win if you try") - maybe next time?

Here is the link to the other Wednesday-outfits! Anyone want to join the fun? Cat-und-Kascha is the one organizing it. Thanks Catherine!

So this is what I actually showed in public... Only a me-made-blouse...

So besser?

Versus this original outfit...
