I haven't worn my sweater like this since I was eighteen although it is the epitomy of preppy look. But I've seen it around lately so couldn't resist a post. The skirt is my fourth find which I took the sides in and shortened.
It makes a great difference to fit the skirts to my body and I'm amazed how few simple stiches can transorm a skirt from unwearable to flattering.
It also opens new horizons to thrifting cause I don't pass out on many lovely skirts because they don't fit.
I'm in a fitting mania lately mainly making my pants tighter to fit my body and also tightening my shirts. It feels like I have a totally new wardrobe .
Do you alter your clothes? If not would you like to try?
So cute and youthful!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, Angie, you did it! I consider myself to be adventurous in what I wear, but you took some elements that I would never have thought of, and made them your own! These simple items, combined your way, excite my eyes and mind so much!! Looking forward to the next....have a great day!
ReplyDeleteYou just have the most darling skirts, I want to steal from your wardrobe!

Like Bethanny Frankel once said "If I could tailor my underwear I would."
ReplyDeleteI have three tailors. One for quick fixes, one for basic tailoring, and one who charges me an arm and a leg for intricate jobs. I think a lot women don't take advantage of tailors these days, nor are they appreciated for their work. It ain't easy!

I bought a skirt this past weekend with a very similar print and it will need to be shortened. You can bet that I'm studying the alterations you made to this one.
ReplyDeleteYou've inspired me to relook at a skirt I've been considering getting rid of - it has more pleats than I'd like and is a little wide but i'm wild about the colour of it. Thanks for inspiring me.
ReplyDeleteLove this preppy outfit! The patterns are so cute :)
