Hibernating all winter seems like an appealing option – The Self-Made Wardrobe Week 16

The Self-Made Wardrobe is a project where I only wear garments I’ve made.
It’s sort of a year long experiment in getting dressed without clothing labels.


Day-106

DAY 106 – NOVEMBER 14th

Winter Coat
Moonstruck Cardigan
Black Maxi Skirt with a Slit
Grey Tights
Black Flats
Princess Necklace
Various Rings

I love how the collar of the sweater looks pulled out over the outside of the coat, and it’s making me want to create a whole bunch of collars and cowls so I can have some variety this winter. (We’ll see if I ever get around to it.)

Day-107

DAY 107 – NOVEMBER 15th

Deconstructed Black Sweater
Basic Black Tank
Cascading Flowers Skirt
Nude Heels
Various Rings

I really love how giant and cozy this sweater is, and I have a feeling I’ll be wearing it a lot this winter.

I did wear my coat over all of this, but I figure from now on I’ll just show you what was underneath, and do a post all about the finished coat – when it’s finally finished…

Day-108

DAY 108 – NOVEMBER 16th

Boring Black Sweater
Basic Black Tank
Black Maxi Skirt with a Slit
Grey Tights
Black Flats

My boring black sweater really is the perfect layer underneath my winter coat especially for those weird days that are kind of between freezing-cold, and not-quite-as-freezing-cold. Although most of the days have been of the freezing-cold-and-windy variety, so hibernating all winter seems like an appealing option.

Day-109

DAY 109 – NOVEMBER 17th

Blue Kimono
Basic Black Tank
Cascading Flowers Skirt
Various Rings

I spent the day hiding from the cold, and not leaving the apartment, so I pulled my lovely blue kimono back out – the one I basically lived in all summer.

Day-110

DAY 110 – NOVEMBER 18th

Deconstructed Black Sweater
Basic Black Tank
Graphic Silk Circle Skirt
Black Tights
Brown Boots
Bicycle Necklace
Various Rings

I love how easy this outfit looks, and how easy it is to actually wear.
A cozy sweater + a skirt I absolutely adore = yes please!

Day-111

DAY 111 – NOVEMBER 19th

Moonstruck Cardigan
Colorful Knit Sweater Dress
White Underskirt
Grey Tights
Brown Boots
Various Rings

It was cold enough on Day 111, that I wanted another layer under the sweater, so I wore my super colorful sweater dress, and doubled up on the tights.

Day-112

DAY 112 – NOVEMBER 20th

Deconstructed Black Sweater
Basic Black Tank
Graphic Silk Circle Skirt
Black Tights
Black Heels
Pocket Watch Necklace
Various Rings

The problem with easy outfits is that they quickly become all I want to wear. This is not the first time I’m repeating an outfit, and I’m sure it won’t be the last.

PS. I’m fighting off some sort of winter-cold-thing, and my head is all fuzzy, so I’m sorry if this post feels a touch disjointed.
