Details, details, details…I’m always going on about details and how even the subtlest touches can elevate basic wardrobe staples. My crisp, white cotton shirt gets a better-than-basics bump from its still-trending bell sleeves and statement-making gold buttons. Paired with black Frame jeans, Blahnik pumps, and a Chanel crossbody bag, it made for the the perfect date night outfit.
On a different note, when the statement sleeve trend ends I’m going to be in trouble! I’ve bought far too many of these tops :) How about you?
As always, thanks so much for stopping by! Make it a great day and don’t forget to smile! xox-M

I only have a couple of these fun shirts—yet..ha ha! But I figure, I can always take the sleeves off and make them a tank when the style is no longer exciting!

You look amazing in this outfit. I love the top. I’ve actually stayed away from this trend this time around for I found the sleeves too cumbersome to wear in the past. I do admire them on others though!
I love that top! It ticks so many boxes – the buttons make it amazing! And styled in your inimitably elegant way.
That top is so cool! I love the button detailing. The top pairs so well with the sleek black pants.

Beautiful outfit! I actually don’t own any bell sleeve shirts, but I need to get some! :)

You look so lovely in this blouse – and don’t worry about the “trend” – you have made this your own look! Thanks for linking up, xox

I love statement sleeves! I had a shirt in high school that I grew out of and I’m hoping I will have the money to purchase one before they go out of vogue. I’ll definitely be wearing the trend after it’s gone.
And those details are gorgeous. You always have some stunning outfits.
The shirt is truly awesome and yes, I know what you mean about trends and the big sleeve fanfare going out of fashion, but this surely will transition to be a classic? I’d wear this forever – it’s a style of its own, timeless!
I’ve recently succumbed to some feature sleeves too. On trend or not, they’ll be hanging around for a while with me.

Gorgeous. Bell sleeves are so elegant and feminine. And you surround them with beautiful pieces. Lovely.
Love this look on you! I don’t think I can pull off the bell sleeves trend, but you do it flawlessly! You could always get the sleeves taken in to preserve the very cool buttons if the trend passes :) Have a great day!
What a wonderful detail on a classic piece. Beautiful look Mary!

Love those sleeves! If I really like something enough I’ll just wear it whether it’s “IN” or not. You can always wait until the look comes back in style too. Fashion always repeats :)

The sleeves are so pretty darling Mary, love the little button details. As much as I love bell sleeves I find them very impractical.
I mean one cannot even drink a cup of cappuccino without stains:P
