Candy Stripes

Happy Friday, everyone!!

Today's casual Friday look has a slight naval flair thanks to the military-inspired knit jacket and nautical striped scarf. 

Jeans:  The Limited (Available here)
Jacket:  Forenza by The Limited (old)

I'm not crazy about the heels with this outfit.  I would have preferred shoes that were more causal, but outside of boots, I didn't have any casual shoes that worked with the length of these pants. 

Blouse:  The Limited (Similar here)
Scarf:  The Limited

I got this shirt hemmed since the last time I wore it (see here). I think it is much more flattering now; small changes can make SO much difference!  I prefer my tops with slightly longer hem lengths, but it can be hard to find the right balance between preference for a longer length and being too long.  Shirts that are too long can make petite girls look super short as they give the appearance of the leg being cut off.

Shoes:  Target (old)

Do you alter your clothing?  What are some of the ways in which you get your clothes altered?
