One of my Favorite Silhouettes to Wear

One of my favorite silhouettes to wear for the past two years has become the puff-sleeve. It’s instantly flattering and so feminine and I’m so glad to see it isn’t going anywhere anytime soon!

Let’s take a walk down memory lane, shall we?

Puff Sleeve Picks:


I particularly love the ruffle detail on this top, this chic one shoulder take on the trend, this classic long sleeve tee you’ll get so much wear out of and this striped take on the trend.

Want to try the silhouette in dress form? Try this one, this one, this one or this one.

Or in a sweater or sweatshirt form like this one, this one, this one, this one or this one (on my wish list for Fall for sure!)

p.s. a bunch of things I own that are on sale and things you can wear both now and later into the Fall.

    this is inspiring me to try out the puff sleeve (i haven’t been brave enough to try it yet, ha, am worried it will make my shoulders look broad, but I think it looks great on you so I’m going to at least give it a try). I especially love the striped dress and the grey h&m tee looks in this post! hope all is well and have been keeping you in my thoughts since you shared your diagnosis last week.

    Love a puffy sleeve because it helps to create the illusion of a more narrow waste
