The Statement Sleeve

{ Via: Vogue }

Because friends don't let friends wear tops or dresses with boring sleeves. Spring has sprung in the stores and so far, I am a fan. Especially fun are the high fashion sleeves on everything. I have always loved a good sleeve. From off the shoulder, puffed, ruffled, sheer or tied, sleeves are the statement makers for Spring. This edit focuses on some of my faves. 

HERE: 12 Statement Styles 

Poppy Bell 

Made of a rayon and linen blend, this is oh so lovely. Best yet, it comes in way under $100. Also available in white and pink.

Anthropologie 

Deliah Metallic Dress

 This dress is anything but simple, but the sleeves make a statement in an understated way. Sheer with a slight bell, they follow the trend in a very alluring way.

Two Statement Pieces

Loving this look for Spring, Summer, and perfect for a Spring break! Easy to wear, care for, and both pieces are affordable!

Sonnet Top  Stella Luna Skirt

Soft Surroundings 

Off The Shoulder Smocked Sleeve Dress

I think I just found my new swimsuit coverup! Isn't it adorable? Again under $100.

Boston Proper

Tie In Cut Out Shirt

This is fun. The peek-a- boo sleeves gives new meaning to shirting.

Nasty Gal  

Marchesa Caftan

One of the prettiest things I have seen for Spring. It's crazy expensive, but with the hand beading throughout, it is probably worth it. Those sleeves! The entire caftan edit is really quite gorgeous!

What a fabulous look with subtle details. It's less than $100. More colors available.

Loving this trench coat makeover for Spring! I think it could become my favorite.

Willow Ribbed Bell Sleeve

A fitted silhouette gets dramatic at the sleeves. Now what couldn't you wear with this?

Neiman Marcus 

Burberry Cashmere Cardigan

What a statement maker! I don't love all puffed sleeves, but these with soft cashmere paired with a peplum waist are fabulous! So chic.

Burberry 

Lafayette 148 New York Trench

Coats with three quarter length sleeve began last Fall. It's always a chic look. Here you go for Spring. Such a different piece to add to your coat collection!
