Cute! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719228 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 03:15:31 +0000 Jeanie 1719228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I thought the same as Janet. &nbsp;David Byrne meets lumberjack! &nbsp;Our eyes will adjust to this, right? &nbsp;I can almost see Gwen Stefani being able to carry this off. &nbsp;It's got a street punk vibe. &nbsp;I am just not that hip.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719199 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 01:56:08 +0000 Jaime 1719199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes I'm with Janet - David Byrne inspired. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719198 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 01:54:12 +0000 binkle 1719198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This shirt specifically - maybe not!</p> <p>Extended sleeves- yes! Especially tees or knits. I like the scrunchy look of extra long slim sleeves, and the proportions of bell sleeves. Both also make me feel like my hands are delicate, and that I am an exquisite delicate creature. Both of which are most definitely NOT true! </p> <p>Though I wouldn't necessarily walk around with the sleeves at "full extension" - too much like elephant trunks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719163 Fri, 26 Aug 2016 00:33:54 +0000 Suz 1719163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this last week when I searched for red tops. It was one of the first things that came up.&nbsp;</p> <p>It is certainly dramatic!&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719146 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 23:52:03 +0000 Staysfit 1719146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this could also become a DIY project. Take those old too small shoulder pads you have laying around from sports days past. Borrow a plaid shirt, I mean take a plaid shirt from a large male person. Grab some sharp scissors or a razor blade and get to work!</p> <p>I'm setting mine outside as a scarecrow when I'm done..... :-)</p> <p>ETA: I just went back and read other responses and see that Janet also sees the scarecrow potential! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719121 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 22:28:48 +0000 rachylou 1719121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw that... The free arm thing just makes it worse... and $1300!! Ok. It's like this shirt is a secret IQ test... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719115 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 21:56:13 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1719115@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's so bizarre for a ready to wear piece! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719096 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 21:26:21 +0000 JAileen 1719096@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I happened across this when I searched on "plaid". It reminds me a bit of a Halloween costume. And the price - wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719084 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 21:00:18 +0000 Bennett 1719084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That shirt scares me, as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719083 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 20:58:52 +0000 Bennett 1719083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, so much more practical than it looks - you can free your whole arm from this costume when duty calls........ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719077 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 20:41:28 +0000 El Cee 1719077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes -- Janet is right. My first thought regarding the Nordstrom shirt was Ray Bolger in the Wizard of Oz. Just add straw!!! Got a good chuckle about the Kristen Wiig character.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719073 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 20:38:52 +0000 Angie 1719073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Part of the extended sleeve <b>and </b>sharp shoulder trend. It's quite laughable isn't it.&nbsp;</p> <p>I have to say that David Byrne is iconic in that suit, and I have a soft stop for him in that look. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719068 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 20:36:09 +0000 deb 1719068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I will just buy a man's shirt and modify the hem. Same effect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719067 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 20:34:47 +0000 Lisa 1719067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At first I thought the plaid shirt was just an unfinished piece because the sleeves are so long. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719054 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 20:01:43 +0000 Janet 1719054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny thing is, I kind of like the concept of the sleeves. But maybe without the stiff shoulder pad/extended shoulder treatment? Could be a cool DIY.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719053 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 20:00:01 +0000 Janet 1719053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's like the union of these two things... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719052 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 19:59:32 +0000 viva 1719052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good news! The shoulder pads are removable! Which will probably make the sleeves even looooooonger.</p> <p>So strange...... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719050 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 19:41:37 +0000 anchie 1719050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And price? Have you not iced the price? It must be joke. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719049 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 19:36:57 +0000 rachylou 1719049@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahahaha! No. That's a joke. That has to be. Someone at Nordstrom is in trouble... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719037 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 18:49:02 +0000 Janet 1719037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bahahahahah! I thought that first photo was a joke until I clicked on the link. What is even going on in that photo -- it looks like someone left enormous cardboard supports inside an extremely oversized shirt on the poor model. And then there is the big ring (what?) hanging from the belt loop? I just don't get it at all.&nbsp;I don't mind the idea of an exaggerated silhouette or extended sleeves, but that example just looks odd.&nbsp;</p> <p>You totally nailed it with the Kristen Wiig reference.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1719036 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 18:45:27 +0000 Joyce B 1719036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that I'd rather save my $1500 which is arnd what it would be with the tax.<br /> The print is nice though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/extended-sleeves-trend#post-1718981 Thu, 25 Aug 2016 17:09:51 +0000 JAileen 1718981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I saw this top the other day and I thought it was very odd looking. It reminded me of the Kristen Wiig SNL character. Now I realize it is part of the extended sleeve trend. What do you think of the top?</p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/vetements-pierced-plaid-flannel-shirt/4376989?origin=keywordsearch-personalizedsort&#038;fashioncolor=RED%20CHECK" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ve.....ED%20CHECK</a> </p>
