The Statement Sleeve
The sleeve takes center stage this season
A trend to watch this spring and summer is the statement sleeve. It can be a flowing bell shaped sleeve on a silk dress, or a shorter sleeve with ruffles and lace on a pretty blouse. Worn with simple pieces like leather shorts or simple slacks, it’s the sleeve that grabs all the attention.

This dress is one of my favorites. It is a simple silk polka dot dress with long bell sleeves slit high for added drama.

Statement Sleeves Can Be Dramatic or Casual
I love to wear jeans, and this season, there are so many choices for colorful blouses with statement sleeves that take the outfit to new levels. Wear them with a half tuck, full tuck, or worn out - there are no rules.
Are You Game? I’d love to see what you dream up.
