Me-Made May ’14 – Final Week
At the beginning of MMMay, I thought that maybe I’d struggle to find something to wear at the end of the month, but actually I was doing pretty good. I’ll write a post summing up my experiences with MMMay in the next few days, right now I’m not at home and need to sneak in…

I had…

I finished the first week of Me-Made May and let me tell you, this is haaaaaaaaard. I’ve actually got to think about what to wear in the morning, and I’m not big on thinking at that time of the day. Usually I just blindly throw on something and hope it looks good. It has been…
