This post is inspired by these bloggers: Carolyn, Lindsay T. and Kasmira. Kasmira and many others do this everyday! Carolyn and Lindsay T recently blogged about how many garments you actually wear after making them. I decided it would be fun to record what I wore to work this week and see if the 80% sewn work wardrobe that I listed on Carolyn's blog is accurate. (No work, so no picture for Monday).
Tuesday - The jacket is from my Easter outfit.
Jacket OOP New Look #
Everything else is RTW
Wednesday
Cardigan NL # 6735
Pants NL # 6101
Both from rayon/poly double knit from JoAnn’s
Top Vogue # 8323
Knit jersey from Fashionista Fabrics
Thursday
Jacket Vogue # 7942
Decorator print from JoAnn’s
Pants copied from a pair of Dockers out of linen/rayon blend

Friday

Jacket Old Navy
This is the first and only outfit my students have commented on – ARGH! They thought it was really cute. Hmmm, am I dressing too old?

How about it, are you up to A Sewing Blog Challenge? I challenge all you bloggers to do what I did and post what you wear in a week. Don't just talk about what and how you make garments, show everyone how you put them all to use! (FYI - one thing I learned from this post was if you want to know how you really look in an outfit, forget asking your significant other, forget the mirror, forget what your kids/students tell you, just take a picture and analyze it yourself,lol! I'm not sure all of last week's outfits will be seen again.)
Paula, Thanks for the link (and the nomination!)

I know I wear something made by me atleast daily. It will be interesting to see exactly how much is made by me. Thanks for the challenge!
Thanks, C
PS - Congratualations on your nomination.
