Ahem. On to the pictures.
May 1. The Goldilocks skirt and thrifted sweater and I'm off to work. Hmmm, that sweater is looking rather ratty. I'll have to do something about that.

May 2 . Corduroy trousers and sweater, garage sales. Scarf -thrifted. I'm off to work again, but it's Friday. Hooray
May 3. Saturday! Hand-me-down jeans and garage sale sweater for a Jane's walk on a rather chilly day. Our high is expected to be only 8 degrees; 9 degrees below the normal high for today. Boo!
Peanut butter and nutella on crackers. One of the benefits of being childless-I don't have to set a good example for anyone.
May 4. Corduroy trouser and a garage sale sweater I felted and up-cycled by adding a front zipper. Thrifted scarf. May the Fourth be With You. I wish I'd known that before I got dressed to go out. I'm sure I could have done somthing differently, but you can bet I've put a note in my calendar for next year.

| Sunday-Laundry day. |
I've already raked the sand off of the boulevard and I'm off to the Manitoba Museum with The Geek, and then the airport to pick up my sister and brother-in-law.
All this week in addition to the second-hand or me-made stuff, I am wearing a wool t-shirt. I'll likely be wearing a wool t-shirt until June. I am that cold.
I'm totally with you on mixing thrifted with me-made. I haven't attempted trousers yet or a proper jacket, so without our charity shops I'd really struggle.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean. I'm trying to knit sweaters, but after sewing, knitting is slow; I'll have to get over that. But thank you for reminding me about jackets. I have one of black corduroy in the closet -it's old, but it should do the trick until things warm up around here.
