A few months ago (during our summer) a very chic lady stopped me at a grocery shop to tell me what "elegant" arms I have. So... Flaunt those elegant arms! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-353137 Fri, 20 May 2011 16:17:29 +0000 Lisa 353137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your bare arms look fine to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-353028 Fri, 20 May 2011 13:40:53 +0000 Lynne 353028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks like it's unanimous, Belle, you can bare arms!

Plus the extra sun always feels nice ^^ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352826 Fri, 20 May 2011 00:14:58 +0000 biscuitsmom 352826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely agree with all the others- I *wish* my arms looked that good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352817 Thu, 19 May 2011 23:58:12 +0000 Anonymous 352817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said! And you have lovely arms on top of that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352809 Thu, 19 May 2011 23:45:56 +0000 MNsara 352809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, you can bare your arms proudly! </p> <p>A little OT, but I just got a card where the front cover has an elderly lady riding in a convertible with her arms held high. Inside that card says: Pearl looked around for the flag, then realized with horror that the sound was coming from her arm-dangle.</p> <p>Anyway, enjoy those lovely 32-year-old arms, YB (I still bare mine in hot weather, but it is not a pretty site.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352803 Thu, 19 May 2011 23:26:11 +0000 Isis 352803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely!

Hopefully in 3 years you'll be over the Arm Thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352780 Thu, 19 May 2011 22:39:46 +0000 yankeebelle 352780@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you SO much for all of the encouragement. I will try to become better about this and have more confidence in this area of dressing. Perhaps a bit of a tan will make me feel better? </p> <p>And I am 32. I know....I look young. I should love that, but it's actually quite annoying for people to assume your the nanny rather than the mommy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352773 Thu, 19 May 2011 22:34:51 +0000 Angie 352773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY, YAY, YAY.</p> <p>Every one can bare their arms </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352768 Thu, 19 May 2011 22:32:11 +0000 Kristine 352768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd be pretty much wearing sleeveless shirts every day if I were you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352761 Thu, 19 May 2011 22:24:17 +0000 Carole 352761@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely-ditto what Mary said! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352759 Thu, 19 May 2011 22:23:09 +0000 Heather 352759@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Mary's Second Amendment declaration, YB! You are darling. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352744 Thu, 19 May 2011 21:59:06 +0000 Steph 352744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think there is anything wrong with your arms--not in the least. </p> <p>I am also self-conscious of my arms, but wear sleeveless anyway, because it's more comfortable, difficult to avoid, and I realize I care more than anyone else. </p> <p>If you worry about having photos taken with your arms showing, you should pose as you have in these photos, with your arms slightly away from your body. When your arms are against your sides, they always look bigger. This is why whenever you see celebrities posing in photos, they always have their hands on their waist and elbows cocked out--it makes the arms look thinner! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352743 Thu, 19 May 2011 21:56:18 +0000 MsMary 352743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! You definitely have the right to bare arms. (Heh.)</p> <p>Honestly, this is one of those things where I wish I could put you in a time machine and have your 35- or 40-year-old self look at these photos and say "What the heck are you going on about? Your arms looked FANTASTIC at that age, and you didn't even have the sense to enjoy them!!" </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352737 Thu, 19 May 2011 21:46:52 +0000 bella 352737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What is supposed to be wrong with your arms? I don't see anything wrong at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352733 Thu, 19 May 2011 21:43:02 +0000 amyreh 352733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I say yes! I don't see anything wrong at all with your arms! Go for it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352732 Thu, 19 May 2011 21:42:27 +0000 Louise 352732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your arms look great to me, I was expecting bingo wings and all sorts!!!! x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-do-bare-arms-yay-or-nay#post-352731 Thu, 19 May 2011 21:36:43 +0000 yankeebelle 352731@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isis kindly suggested I let everyone weigh in on whether I can or can't do bare arms.<br /> I am VERY self conscious of my arms. I never wear spaghetti straps, strapless, sleeveless, etc without a cardy. </p> <p>Here are some pics of me...it's the end of the day and my hair is flat and my make up has faded. But it is what it is! ha!<br /> (And yes, I already know--the hard way--that you can see my undies. I will NEVER make that mistake again!) </p>
