Two good pics…this is what happens when I am rushing. I have had the skirt I am wearing for about 3 years, and she is still holding on. However, she will need to be taken in at the waist and maybe a little along the sides and shortened just a smidgen.
How do you feel about having your clothes altered? Until recently I wouldn’t do it at all! I don’t know why…I figured it should fit me perfectly if i am going to spend my money on it. However being pear shaped this doesn’t work in my favor most times. Instead of being stubborn I gave in and found two great seamstresses. Having my clothes altered makes such a huge difference…particularly with pants. I always have major issues with gaping at the waist. My jeans and pants fit so much better after being altered. I don’t have to constantly tug on them all day trying to keep them up at my waist.
So does anyone else invest in altering clothes or do just pass on something that doesn’t fit you perfectly?

That top is so adorable! You always look so polished and put together.
My Mom has altered a few of my skirts. My thought always was that if something doesn’t fit right I shouldn’t spend extra $ to get if fixed (but that’s mainly because I don’t have a huge problem finding clothes that fit). If my shape was different I think it would be worth spending little extra on something I really like.
Thank you Lilly =) Altering has become a good investment for me.
Love this outfit. It goes to show you that a few staple, classic pieces can be jazzed up real quick. you look cute.
Thank you Monique, this is definitely my “go to” skirt.
Love the outfit….of course! I have to get just about all of my clothes altered. Then there are times I’m like whatever…

Thanks Corie, I understand…I get the same way sometimes.
Really cute outfit! Looks great on you.
I have never altered anything. I either try to make it work or pass on it. =/

Thanks Toria, I will sometimes alter things myself. If it is too complex then I head to the seamstress.
my seamstress and i are on a first name basis!
i think this overall look is really good and i personally like the length of your skirt. slightly longer is in these days!
Your right longer is in but I am a shortie so I try to keep it balanced. I like for my hem to fall right at my knee or longer.
I love your skirt! I haven’t gotten anything altered…
Thanks for stopping by and following I am now following you! 🙂

Thanks Nana =) Great blog also!
I love this top! I make my own clothes, so altering isn’t an issue lol. BUT a good seamstress that enjoys altering can be a WONDERFUL thing!
Thanks, I have had a sewing machine for the past two years. I haven’t made one thing yet! I don’t have the time, soon as I am done with school, I will have more time for the things I enjoy.
I love ruffly plaid shirts and that one is really flattering on you! As for altering your clothes, I say go for it. There is no reason to pass on a great item that doesn’t quite fit if it can be made to work with a few alterations!
Thank you and I agree =)
