For months I've been trying to stretch a handful of separates (both me made and RTW) and it's been really frustrating. I have enough to be appropriately clothed. I don't have enough to only wear things I feel good in or to change my mind if I don't feel like wearing a particular item. It's a total first world problem but it's not a great way to start the day. Clearly my sewing time has been devoted to casual sewing for too long.
So my focus for January is sewing more work wear. I pulled these patterns and I've already made a start, I've cut three silk camis, a white linen Inari tee and a pair of Ginger jeans in black drill (these are a total wardrobe workhorse for me). I need to muslin the McCall's dress and hope to make a start on it soon. The best part is that all the fabric and patterns are already in my stash!
I'm not locking myself into these patterns but I am focusing on pieces for work. Also, if you have any work wear blogs or Instagram accounts that you love please share - I'd love some more inspiration!
Do you struggle with what to wear to work? Do you make your work clothes? If you do, what are some of your favourite patterns?
