I own the clothes, they don't own me

On a suggestion from a reader, E at Am I the Elephant in the Room?, I took my new red and black plaid shirt to my mother-in-law. I showed her how it might look a little shorter and we both agreed that it would be better hemmed. The style is actually leaning towards a longer, almost tunic like, length. Sadly, being vertically challenged, I cannot rock the look. ha ha.

So, here it was before:


And here it is today:


Thank you, E, for the suggestion. The shirt was cute before, but all it takes is a small tweak and now it looks amazing.
