Chronic illness is always with me, but it reared its ugly head today and ruined my plans. "Lok'Tar Ogar" on my shirt I made, means "victory or death" in orcish. It reminds me to stay strong and push through, which on some days is very hard to do.

Sewaholic Renfrew from March 2015 – still in love with this one (I <3 birds)

Closet Case Patterns – Ginger Jeans from June 2017

As you can see I wear my Ginger Jeans a lot. I actually am in the middle of making a second pair but having some fit issues I didn’t have with this pair.

Also, I ditched the Old Navy RTW top after wearing it on Thursday, I just couldn't’ stand the fit and feel of it. I need more plain tees in my wardrobe. I will most likely ditch the black New Look cowl tank too. I like having that top in a solid but don’t feel it is very flattering like with a print.

I “fell" off” of MMM a little bit this week. It usually happens each year. By week 2 I’m in a slump and don’t enjoy daily pictures. The extra work of “what should I wear” is taxing instead of just grabbing things. However, I love how MMM has allowed me to wear things I have, and try not to repeat. It has shown me some gaps in my wardrobe already and some things I’m ok to get rid of.
