Hello Readers. I think Fall is here. There are leaves all over the ground and it is cooler and nicer outside. I love the change of seasons. I also love classic simple clothing that is easy to wear. A white button-down shirt is always fresh and stylish. But I didn't have one. (First world problem, I know.)
What I did have was this white shirt that my husband didn't want anymore. (He doesn't need to wear a shirt and tie to work anymore so he cleaned out his closet.) I really liked this simple white shirt.
This shirt was too big. The sleeves were too long. The whole shirt was too long to tuck in and is close to being a mini-dress. I can't wear a short dress to work so let's make this into a shirt that fits.
I did some re-fitting. I made the whole shirt shorter and made the body more narrow.
I also made shorter more narrow sleeves. I wanted them 3/4 length. I removed the cuffs, shortened the sleeves and reattached the cuffs. The sleeves were roomy enough to make little box pleats on each sleeve.
I can tuck the shirt in because it isn't so long anymore.
The jeans I wore with the white shirt are a refashion favorite.
And if you are in the US, please go vote!

Classic combination with a classic fit! You're looking good!
Everybody I know has already voted,or has a plan to vote. Maybe the one good thing about 2020 is that so many are exercising their right to vote, in spite of the difficulty of doing so in a pandemic.
Corona is making everything harder. I voted early just in case something went wrong, I wouldn't have to worry about it.
