The statement sleeves this fall have me smitten. I love them all - the ruffles and bells and bows. But truthfully, they're not very practical in my every day life. Long ruffle and bell sleeves look pretty, but they get in my way. I get tired of knocking things off my desk every time I reach for something, or dipping them in whatever I'm making for dinner.
This Bobeau sweatshirt is the perfect alternative - cute bell sleeves at a 3/4 length. It's soft and cozy and can be dressed up or down.

And look, I'm wearing accessories! Last weekend I cleaned up my jewelry drawer and untangled all my necklaces. HOW do they get like that? Now that everything is organized and easy to see, I'll try to get my act together and wear them!

ReplyDeleteThanks friend!
DeleteTis true that some fashion items are better for looking at than wearing. I always think the people that wear them daily must have help so they don't need to do all those mundane tasks while worrying about their sleeves tripping them up.

I've always thought it would be wonderful to swan about in high fashion and do nothing all day :)!
DeleteThey need to invent a necklace detangler...that'S the worst! Love your bell sleeves.
ReplyDeleteSomething else for Willis to invent!
DeleteI have yet to try the bell sleeve trend but it sure does look cute on you. I know these sleeves would get in my way also, any extra clothing becomes an annoyance to me. Have a great day Lana
ReplyDeleteThree quarter sleeve would be perfect for your climate - you could wear it year round!
DeleteBobeau is one of my favorite brands! And I totally get what you mean with the ruffles and bell sleeves! Although I love them for the office, one of my sleeves got drenched in ketchup at supper one night! Ugh!
ReplyDeleteHaha - mine was mustard! I love Bobeau too.
DeleteI need to untangle my jewelry drawer! So many treasures in it. And I love your bell sleeves.
ReplyDeleteI found lots of treasures in mine too. But it took forever to untangle.
DeleteI'd say you found the perfect top! I am loving your jewelry - those colors really pop against the black. Hope you're having a great week Lana!
ReplyDeletexo,

Thank you Kellyann!
DeleteSo cute and yes the perfect sleeve compromise!
ReplyDeleteThanks friend!
DeleteI love a sleeve with details! And black...well, need I say more?!
ReplyDeleteI rarely wear black, although it's a good color on me. It makes such a good palette!
DeleteHave you tried storing them with a straw through the chain? I saw it on Pinterest and that is how I moved most of my jewelery. Also, I have a very similar black bell sleeved shirt and I really like it.
ReplyDeleteI've heard of it but haven't tried it. Might have to do that.
DeleteI just love this trendy statement sleeve trend right now. I really need to clean out my jewelry box, eek! I love those bracelets!

I love them because they're stretchy and so easy to wear.
DeleteSure cute! I love the bell sleeve trend, need to jump on that, I yet to own a piece, and yes to the jewelry getting tangled! So annoying and hard to keep away from each other!
ReplyDeleteIt's like they jump up and get tangled when no one is looking!
DeleteSuper comfy and stylish! Love your bell sleeves!

Love this super cute casual look! I wear black tops with jeans all the time! Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm really digging little bell sleeves too!
ReplyDeleteThis top is so cute with its little bell sleeves! The bits of turquoise stand out wonderfully against the black and your shoes are too cute. Thanks for linking up with Fabulous Friday, Lana!
