Week One of Me Made May – Done!

This year I am going to do Me Made May every day. I am! I will!

In the past, I have done a few days a week, but now I have both the wardrobe and the confidence to really pull it off. Here are some looks.

I kicked off the month with my purple wool Sewaholic Cordova jacket for work. Here are my other looks for the office:

Oki Style “Joker” Shirt

McCall’s 7726 pants

Style Arc Jasmine trousers

Work at home and casual weekend looks:

Top from New Look 6330

Refashioned top from Happy Homemade Sew Chic

PJS from McCall’s 7267

And a party dress to watch the Kentucky Derby in (it’s the Run for the Roses, don’t you know):

This week coming up I have one more day in the office and then I am on VACATION! Woot!

How’s your Me Made May going so far?

About The Distaff Side

A racehorse’s power and stamina comes from its bloodline. Before you decide it’s worth the risk to inhale the scent of stale urine and dodge past unshaven old men at the racetrack to put down $2 at the crowded betting window, you want to know: Who was the horse’s sire? For horse racing is a boy’s game, and the best bet is often on a champion male bloodline. Racehorses have mothers too, of course, or “dams” as they say in the business. The female bloodline is called “the distaff side.” Important, yes, but not as important. Second best, to be sure. The older I get, the more I feel the pull of life’s distaff side, those second-best female pursuits that are not quite as important, not quite worth it. I say, own it. I am starting this blog to explore the distaff side of my life, in career, home, family, health, in ways of thinking and doing and being. Thanks for reading.
