Good for you! You weren't lazy, lazy would be not altering it at all! :)
I love your pouty face when you didn't like the first go at modification. xD
I think it looks great on you!!
As to, do I have some clothes for a very long time ...yes! Many, lol. But for an example of one I've mended and need to mend again, this sweater:

This was a friend's sweater when we were in high school and I totally loved it. When we were in our early 20s she was getting rid of some clothes, and this sweater was in the pile and I claimed it. I still love it. I'm 43. LOL

Years ago, one of the seams on the right sleeve came undone almost all the way up, and I hand stitched it with embroidery floss to repair it. But just recently, the left elbow is now looking worn (I always wear out the left elbow), so I need to mend it again.

I also have a lot clothes for centuries (OMG I am old) but they are mostly with some kind of elastic, jersey or knit. The garments which are more fitted... most of them I have altered so many times, they do not fit really well any longer :-D
So, I feel you on the sweeter. Often the garments are connected with memories and feelings, which one wont miss.
Its so great you are skilled in mending. (My mending is -ahem- inventive) DO you already know what to do with the elbow?`Will you sew a patch over it or will you try to repair the knitting?
ANd with my face... the funny thing (for others) is I don't stage such photos, I also look like this in real life (often not always, I can be serious too)... Its perhaps funny for friends, but in work context its not so good 😱

My mending is inventive, too, lol. I think I will try and stitch up the elbow with embroidery floss first, and if that still feels unstable, I might put a patch on the inside. We shall see how it goes!
And don't worry ...I am consummately "unprofessional." Work Professionalism is overrated, anyway. Be yourself! :)

Ohhhhh embroidery my love and nemesis. Looking forward how you will tackle this (In my mind I see you embroidering, then sewing, then sculpting and then there is a doll on your sweater‘s elbow 😁🥰)
