I now have two options nearby (the one in the ATC near Whole Foods and Target is quite good, I’ve learned), and it really is helpful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383970 Fri, 11 Apr 2025 12:50:32 +0000 Suntiger 2383970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That was a good idea! And your Fuzzi dress alteration from before inspired me to take my no longer fitting PC dresses for crop top + skirt rework. I finally found a good tailor and she's getting tons of work from me! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383965 Fri, 11 Apr 2025 12:30:36 +0000 Janet 2383965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carol, Adidas are a good fit for me! I got these white with black stripes after wearing out an old white pair from about 8 years ago. I have a pair in black too, with contrast stitching. I had been combing the web for designer black sneakers and then found the Adidas to be more comfortable and stylish than ones I found for twice or three times the price! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383921 Thu, 10 Apr 2025 14:43:15 +0000 Carol 2383921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun stuff--all. Love the cinching detail on the jacket. But love the Adidas most of all, which look like the shell toes, but I think they are not. A year or two ago, I was all about the Gazelle Adidas, and bought an aqua pair. These days I am craving the classic navy and white one that you have.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383909 Thu, 10 Apr 2025 12:57:20 +0000 citygirldc 2383909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great classic go-to.&nbsp; Looking fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383849 Tue, 08 Apr 2025 18:15:46 +0000 slim cat 2383849@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect alterations and great spring jacket - fun addition to your current style! I love this brand for playfulness and femininity in their collections! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383830 Tue, 08 Apr 2025 11:14:58 +0000 Janet 2383830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, the jacket was a moment, for sure. The price even here is steep, honestly too steep for a light nylon jacket. But I am so sure of the fit, style, color, quality, uniqueness, and usefulness that I decided it would be worthwhile. I think it transcends trend enough that I’ll happily wear it for years. I’m learning to save the splurges for things like that! But yes, I hear you on the exchange rate. I suspect shopping will change a lot due to current events, as if it hadn’t already gotten more difficult. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383824 Tue, 08 Apr 2025 05:33:07 +0000 Sal 2383824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good call on the alteration.</p> <p>Love that jacket - I unwisely checked out the find but the NZD exchange rate is amazingly bad right now - we all know why. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383815 Mon, 07 Apr 2025 21:03:00 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2383815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the outfit a lot, and good work on altering the sleeves to make the t-shirt wearable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383808 Mon, 07 Apr 2025 17:17:26 +0000 Olive Green 2383808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are one of those stripe people, just can’t go wrong. Nice restrained little jacket, looks like a good traveler! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383806 Mon, 07 Apr 2025 15:54:31 +0000 Suz 2383806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smart alteration, Janet -- and more useful for your climate, too!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383803 Mon, 07 Apr 2025 14:12:47 +0000 Janet 2383803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, all!</p> <p>Cat2, I have found it very helpful while reviewing and editing my closet to consider how an item could be tweaked to suit my needs better. A few years ago, it felt a bit radical to have the sleeves removed from a summer dress I was not wearing (it bought me another year or two of wear before I passed it along). Now I have to stop myself from having ALL of my tops shortened! LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383802 Mon, 07 Apr 2025 14:04:06 +0000 cat2 2383802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for posting. The threads on this site on alterations and repairs have been so useful. I am used to shortening pant and dress lengths, but hadn’t given much thought to anything else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383799 Mon, 07 Apr 2025 13:09:31 +0000 RobinF 2383799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! Love that jacket and nice alteration to the tee. I love a striped tee, they go with everything.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383780 Sun, 06 Apr 2025 19:53:06 +0000 Lisa 2383780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd happily wear this outfit. It has everything I like, stripes, sneakers, a cool jacket in a pretty color, and some great looking athletic pants. I love this outfit on you! </p> <p>And the newly tailored top looks like perfection at this sleeve length. Being short I'm used to shortening pants and jeans, but shortening sleeves for a top is such a clever idea. I'm keeping that in mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383763 Sun, 06 Apr 2025 00:11:55 +0000 Jaime 2383763@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great ouftit! Love the CDC tee - I finally thrifted one after literally years of waiting - and glad you made it more wearable for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383753 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 23:13:33 +0000 Janet 2383753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, ladies! I was realizing that I didn’t have any striped short sleeve tee anymore, and I do have a couple other long-sleeved striped tops, so this hack made total sense. Eliminated a shopping temptation! </p> <p>The jacket proved to be perfect for a spring day with temps from 65-70 (when it warmed up a bit and got sunny, I removed the jacket). Breezier than my denim jacket and a nice change of pace. </p> <p>I’m feeling like I’m getting better at making purchases that are truly useful. Being more mindful and less impulsive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383752 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 22:56:24 +0000 Angie 2383752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great sleeve hack! Successful alterations make all the difference. I'm a fan!</p> <p>Fun look! Super duper jacket! Fab match of tee and sneakers, <b>Janet</b> :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383745 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 20:53:15 +0000 LJP 2383745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great outfit Janet! &nbsp;And that jacket is fantastic . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-incl-a-recent-alteration#post-2383744 Sat, 05 Apr 2025 20:46:39 +0000 kkards 2383744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab!

I love this tee but the not-long-enough long sleeves never worked for me. I had my tailor hem them to a short length, and voila! Much more wearable for me. </p> <p>Wearing them with Athleta pants, Adidas sneakers, and my last new purchase for a while, a great little spring jacket I decided to snap up at Nordstrom while the color is trending a little. The color in real life is cooler and greener than the stock photo. </p>
