I had events on both days of this past weekend. I realized while writing this that almost all the items I wore were altered by me

On Saturday we attended a wedding. I bought the Maggie London dress last fall, and had only worn it once to a Bar mitzvah in November. I decided to shorten it 2.5” before wearing it this time. We were in an endless spell of rainy, grey, and cold spring so needed a jacket. The dress was perfect for this wedding.

On Sunday we had an evening banquet with a dress code of “business formal”. The N&Z Jacket has frayed sleeves that are a little too long and catch in my fitbit strap. I need to remember to do something about it before I wear it again. The Adrienne Vitadini B/W polka dot blouse is a wrap style, and the crossover part kept shifting around so I stitched it closed. The Halogen pants (similar to the find) were part of a pant suit I bought more than 15 years ago. They were originally more flared but I got tired of that style and altered them a few years ago to have a straighter leg.

Would love to hear any comments or suggestions. I don't wear outfits like this very often but liked both of them. Actually I LOVE the dress, liked the other items.
