What's my style part 3

Day 8 - work, a new me made top. McCalls 5388 which I either read the finished measurements wrong or me wrong but it now includes design feature panels and scooped arm holes. I'm not happy at how the neck line bends but relatively happy with the rest. It's a nice top but don't think it's my prefect summer top, the quest continues
Also wearing me made trousers, another McCalls I believe and a rtw cardigan


Day 9 - a day visiting friends and then board game night with my sister, brother in law and nephews. (Picture fail!) basically the same outfit as last Saturday but with flip flops instead of boots

Day 10 - car boot sale, shopping and general loitering with the kids around the house. Rtw black skinny jeans and black and white stripe top with lace raglan sleeves (again picture fail)

Day 11 - work - me made New Look 6150/Renfrew mash up and Colete Ginger skirt

Day 12 - work (crazy day filming a video for our team, it was horrible and I was nervous beyond belief but the snippets we got to see weren't as bad as I expected so hopefully it will be ok) - rtw green faux wrap top and me made trousers

Day 13 - work - rtw white spotty tie neck top and grey trousers

Day 13 - working from home - started with rtw boyfriend jeans and a smiley face vest and ended with a me made multicoloured stripe maxi skirt and rtw black vest


Day 14 - work - me made raspberry dress simplicity 2455 (picture fail!)

Day 3 - me made wide stripe skirt and rtw black vest top for a day at home

Day 4 - picture fail so we have an after the fact kids messed up pic of rtw endless fabric zebra skirt and black vest for a date day with my husband for his birthday (fully taking advantage of the kids being at nursery)

What's my style?

Long break - Kids/life/sewing/failure to take pictures etc etc...

To tell the truth I've been a little stumped for anything to say for the past gawd knows how long. After having the kids I'm getting back into trying to feel like me again and hoping discover what my style is.  How do you figure this out?  I have no great interest in a particular era or trend, the only thing I can say I really love is a quirky fabric.  

Now I've developed a bit of a stash of fabrics I really love but I'm struggling to figure out what to make with them, is this because I don't know what my style is?

Maybe I should try something along the lines of Me Made May (So Zo's brainchild) but just take a picture of my outfit of the day and see if I can figure this out. The picture a day could be a challenge all by itself as I just hate pictures but I need to start somewhere. So here goes

Day1 - rtw dress for a day off work and morning without the kids
