Last week I found a hole in my wardrobe: short-sleeve tops. Perhaps a reason to go thrift shopping? Yes. That's when I found this gorgeous blouse: I try every time I buy a bishop sleeve blouse I try to wear it as is, but I feel like the garment is wearing me! It's just not right. I'm not sure I'll ever be able to pull it off. Also, did I mention that I need short sleeve shirts? It didn't take me long to decide that something had to be done with those sleeves. All I did was hem the sleeve & take in the arm width by 2 inches. I also shortened one of the neck ties because it was a good 12 inches longer than the other one. So strange. I didn't take in the actual torso of the shirt but because the sleeves are so light and slim the shirt appears more fitted. Perfect-o! I wore this blouse to a luncheon with my grandma and felt really classy in my new threads. I also wore this blouse to church and Penelope got chocolate ALL OVER it. Thanks to the Tide pen I think the chocolate stains are no longer. Now I know this is one of those shirts that I should wear when I'm going somewhere without Penelope. She sure can spread the mess around!
