This looks great and much more modern to my eye with the changes. I especially love this because of your ingenuity, though. One of my style/life goals is to avoid disposable stuff, which in the fashion world means a small wardrobe of workhorses that intend to I use for a few years. It also includes getting things secondhand. So I have been trying to think about ways that I can stretch or rework items through alterations. So many others on here, like you, are good at that. Me, I have to work on flexing that muscle more. And I'm not talking about the alterations themselves. The first step is being able to see the potential in an item and you are an inspiration for that.
