My mother has been gone a little over 3 years and I am just finding the strength to go through her things. As I was going through some of her old clothing I came across this.
It is in impeccable shape and I thought it would be nice to wear it this winter. I’m a little on the fence as to whether I should wear it or just put it away. If wearing it becomes my final decision I do think it’s a little big but I thought maybe I could have it altered to fit a little better and maybe make it shorter to hit around mid thigh.
Wear it or put it away? If I wear it, is it fine as is or should I have the alterations done?

Thanks for your comment on my kitchen! The back-splash was that way when we moved in. We also have the same tiles in our bathroom and it looks as though the were placed in one by one. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend!!
