Me Made May’12 Week5

June 4, 2012 By Chie

5/30 Top: Refashioned by me, Skirt: thrifted, Bracelets: some gifts, and some made by me

This top is so old. I think I have had it in my closet since the 90’s. It was a hand-me-down from my mom’s friend, but since it is sheer, I wasn’t sure how to wear it as an elementary school kid. Now I wear this often with a white bikini underneath. It was very long, so I cut it short to make it a top. It’s more versatile this way and it matches with pretty much every skirts I have in my closet:)

5/31 Dress: Made by me, Sandals: bought in Japan.

I wore this dress a lot when I was a pregnant. At that time I felt like it was the only dress that made me look slim! The black tight bottom did the trick 😛 But after I was done with pregnancy, I lost the motivation to wear this dress. I don’t know why..maybe because I wore it too many times! But this MMM challenge made me pull out this old dress again!

I recently went to a nail salon to get gel nails put on. I LOVE them! I ordered pink color gradation with sparkles in the middle, and they are so shinny and fun. It’s supposed to last for about 3 weeks, and so far they have not chipped at all (it’s been one week).

The sandals are recent find at a mall here in Japan. They were only 1000 yen and comfortable to walk around in.

Me Made May’12 Week4

May 25, 2012 By Chie

I pledged to wear my handmade clothes at least 3 times a week in the month of May, but I only got to do it twice this week. The rest of this week is a bit of a blur..I don’t remember what I wore. Kiko was sick this week and we thought she had measles. It turned out that she didn’t (thank God!) but that is why I couldn’t be concerned about what I wore. She is better now! 🙂
5/21 Dress: made by me (also worn here), Leggings: honestly, I don’t know where they came from..I’ve had these forever. Matching earrings and necklace: Knap (etsy shop, from Andy for 2010 Valentine’s Day)
Look at this fabric! To this day, I still regret only buying 2 meters. I found this at Tomato in Nippori two years ago. The trees, cowboys, chickens and cows.. what a fun print.
5/24 Top: forever21 (also wore on Day 3..), Skirt: Made by me, Bracelet: Marc by Marc Jacobs
I made this skirt when I was pregnant last year. It’s an easy paperbag waist skirt and perfect for a day like today when I’m just hanging out with Kiko. This particular skirt is not as versatile as another lovely skirt made by me 🙂 With this tutorial you can make a reversible version. I originally put this tutorial together for Megan Nelson’s site, DIY Maternity 🙂
Andy gave me this bracelet for Valentine’s day this year. It’s so bright – pink and neon! I love it <3
