Let's talk Mini-Wardrobe, for real!

The rules went up for the mini-wardrobe competition yesterday! I was immediately sent into a flap because this year it's FIVE items, one of which can be a "wearable accessory" like a scarf or whatever, and it has to make up 6 outfits. I had been banking on it being 4 and 4 outfits again, so I had to revise my half-baked plans. If "wearable accessory" had included a bag I'd have been golden, but it's specifically excluded.

I actually have so many additional constraints it's kind of ludicrous. I'm packing for an international move mid-July. I'm trying not to spend money unduly. I'm too sick at the moment to go into the city and fabric shop. I'm trying to fabric fast and use up things I already own. I'm trying to write my PhD any time I am not sick. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS. And yet, somehow I will probably end up doing it.

ANYWAY, all revelations of my idiocy aside, here is version 1.0 of my plan:

Ha, this is why I'd never win a competition. Have you ever seen a more boring set of patterns? I don't care though, I am not in it to win.

The skirt should be easy -- I've never made this particular pattern but I've made enough Ottobre skirts up to know it'll fit. The Ottobre top is, of course, just a minor variation on a theme of my absolute favourite made-it-8-times-already, no really, Ottobre 02-2013-02 top. The Wiksten Tank is a pattern I've had in stash a while now. It should be straightforward once I figure out the bust fit. This is the thing I added in response to the 5th item, and the only thing I haven't quite figured out is HOW I want to colour-block it, although I have some ideas. And the Carme, of course, I've talked about a couple of time already. Big first for me because I've never made a shirt, a collar, cuffs, blah blah blah, but I am not particularly worried about any of that. (I may live to regret saying that, of course....)

The big unknown is the shorts, since I've never made anything trouser-like that is more fitted than PJ shorts before and have no idea if I'll get anything like a reasonable fit from the Ottobre pattern. I'm going to muslin them this weekend so I can see if it's workable without EPIC fitting work. If it isn't, I'll swap in... something. (????)

TELL ME YOUR PLANS. :D Anything I've thought of so far is totally subject to change at a moment's notice. I ALSO have a sort of secondary option of doing a whole blue/green mini-wardrobe, but I can't do it all from stash so I would prefer this white/black thing if I can pull it off. Also I need a better name, but I can't think of one.
