Me-Made-May
Day 3
Today was a lazy day and I wanted to try a combo that I have never tried before. If you aren't aware, yellow is making a huge style come back which I am super happy about this because I have always loved wearing yellow and actually used to wear quite a bit when I was a child. As you will see these yellow pants are pretty spectacular and I wanted to try and make a casual outfit with them because I usually dress them up because of their style.
Top - blue cotton top with daisies made by me
Bottoms - Yellow trousers from Charlotte Russe
Shoes - brown sandals from Macy's
Accessories - black daisy hair scarf and strawberry-mango smoothie
I don't wear this shirt often, but after I removed the elastic from the bottom of the sleeves I like it much more. It is a little shorter than I would like but I did make it several years ago when I was smaller so it is understandable.
In the picture below I wanted to show another way I like to wear this shirt is off-the-shoulder which is why I made the top elastic.

| This outfit's score |
I did not start today intending to score this shirt so highly, especially in the context of this outfit as I really took a risk color-wise. I really think that removing the elastic on the base if the sleeves was the turning point for this outfit. The only thing that made me knock off a point is the length of the shirt because it highly limits the way I can wear it in an outfit. If I manage to find some more of this fabric I may either remake this shirt longer or add a ruffle so that I can wear it more often.
I was unsure how much I would like this me-made-may, and it is still a little early to tell for sure but so far so good! Now I really need to get to work making clothes....
