Originally she had suggested a pattern which was crocheted and was for babies and was in russian or something.  So I suggested this pattern instead, which was knitted, for grownups, and in English!

The course is set out in 30 lessons, which are all either something to read or watch, and then some homework, where you write down your responses to some questions or do something with your wardrobe.  The idea is to do one lesson each day for a month.

The lessons are carefully set out on a wide variety of topics, such as your style inspirations and icons, your wish lists, how to mend your own clothes, how to style neglected clothes in your wardrobe, body image, tips on how to personalise a uniform, and adding more colour into your outfits.  The homework is designed to make you really think and distil your own opinions on the topics.

One thing I really liked about this course is that some of the lessons are videos!  They are links to youtube videos that are only available when you know the address, which is such a cute idea!  

My favourite lesson was definitely the one on cleaning out your wardrobe!  I always feel almost guilty about the amount of clothes I own, so it’s helpful to get rid of a bunch.  I always feel like a weight has been lifted when I get rid of stuff!  I also really loved the lessons on mending clothes, and also on what clothes I consider staples.  No more party dresses until I actually get invited to a party!!

I found this course really thought-provoking, and it enabled me to nail down some thoughts about my style, such as who I get inspiration from, why I dress the way I do, and how to cultivate my wardrobe so that it suits me and I get less unworn items.  I think we all have that item in our wardrobe that never sees the light of day!

So, get this ecourse if you:

Have an item of clothing you really love, but never wear,

Don’t seem to have any clothes that match,

Are unhappy with your personal style,

Have an overflowing wardrobe,

Have negative thoughts about your own looks,

Wish to develop, refine, or alter your personal style

Pretty much everyone right?  The ebook is available here on Nessbow’s website. You can get it on pdf or for kindle!

It’s over!  This is what I wore for the last 8 days of May.

Miette cardigan. Today I did a whole lot of exercise and chores n’ stuff.

Black Miette, and Lady Skater dress.  I had to accompany my student in his year 12 recital!  He was fantastic.  Please excuse crazy hair, I hadn’t looked in the mirror yet and thought it’d be ok!  Of course Charles didn’t notice T_T

These are my handmade pyjamas!  The top is traced of a singlet top I already had, and the shorts are from a boxer shorts pattern I used in textiles in year 7!  They still fit 🙂  Mostly because they’re stretchy.  I’m not sure if I wore handmade during the day but I’ve been wearing these most nights.

This is a handmade blouse, I forget the pattern.  I think that originally it was a weird old pattern and I just decided to put pleats in the front. I kind of love it but the fabric is extremely fray-y and it has fallen apart on me before.

Another Lady Skater dress (or the same one maybe) for another student’s recital.  Isn’t this jumper cool?  Mum bought it for me as an early birthday present.

Chuck jumper and alpaca scarf – a favourite outfit of mine.

You don’t get to see my face here.  Owls jumper. A bead popped off this and I can’t find it anywhere!
