I'm participating in Me-Made-May 2024 and my pledge is to wear me-made/refashioned outfits each day throughout May 2024. My goal is to continue wearing my makes, discovering a new style that fits me and also connecting with like-minded people.
Me-Made-May is a wardrobe challenge created by Zoe @sozoblog and this year is my 12th year of participating. Time flies so fast!
