Spring 10x10 Challenge: days 6, 7, and 8
Day 6 was last Friday, which was working from home for a half day, sewing a bit, and a Good Friday service at my church.
This shirt is one of my me-mades, which I whipped up before our anniversary last year, and ended up not wearing. In the quick sewing process though, I ended up hemming it by hand in the car, and it is longer than I would typically do (I initially was going to make it a dress, but it was too lightweight). I never got around to rehemming it though, and I typically just do a front tuck. This time though I wanted to try something different and wear it as a tunic, and I like it quite a bit.
Day 7 was Saturday and was spent delivering meals for Easter Outreach, so I went for a simple favorite outfit.
These two pieces are literally two of my favorite things to wear - a black and white striped tee from Boden and the Madewell jeans that turned me onto the brand. I wore my black leather espadrille sneakers out and about, but most of the time at home I just go barefoot.
I took the day off on Easter Sunday, because I've always worn a special Easter outfit since I was a little kid. :) Monday was a work from home day. I actually forgot to take a photo, so I recreated it this morning to make sure I got my photo in!
This was a comfy, layered outfit fit for the variable spring weather we're having. I really like all the blues going on. The shoes match the shirt, the jeans match the scarf, which also picks up a bit of the ivory in the cardigan and the lighter blue. It's just on the verge of being too matchy-matchy, but in a good way.
Today is day 10 (woo hoo, I made it!), so stay tuned tomorrow for a summary of the last two days, and Friday I'll wrap it up with lessons learned, which, spoiler alert, surprised me a bit this time around.
