It seams like a majority of tops (and dresses) these days all have statement sleeves and for a gal that prefers sleeveless I find my self a bit frustrated. You can go overboard designers.
It's not that statement sleeves aren't pretty, I just find them overwhelming and in the way. I also have petite arms so not always a good fit.
This top hit the mark for fit and embracing the trending statement sleeve. I actually purchased it when I was still pregnant with baby girl as a potential top for her newborn pictures.
The top is made of a heavier off-white fabric so it lays nicely without being see through. The sleeves work because the 2 layers of ruffles start at the elbow leaving the upper arm slim and end far above the wrist as to not be in the way.
I paired it with these frayed crop jeans and velvet heels for a more casual/night out look. Because that's what I have on my mind being cooped up with a baby all day! When I'm back at work a skirt or trousers will pair perfectly.
Note: I wore this top to church this past Sunday with a pink skirt and the sleeves were never in my way. Meaning I managed to not dip them in my plate during Sunday supper because again length was just right!
I always like to add some print somewhere in my outfits and animal is my first choice most of the time so I chose this snake bag. Subtle and neutral.
