Most of mine are thin so fold in easily, but yesterday the sleeves of the dress i was wearing were very bossy- though they do fit under my winter coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970612 Wed, 31 Oct 2018 01:16:46 +0000 Jessikams 1970612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Gretchen I have a poison eye for things that look like bathrobes. I notice a lot of those “teddy coats” just look like worn out, clumpy fleece bathrobes to me. Gross. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970544 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 20:54:23 +0000 Gretchen 1970544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;My grandmother made me a church dress aged 8 with bell sleeves (she called them angel sleeves) and to this day, I still love the look. Agree it's not at all practical, but the happy memories make it worth it for me.&nbsp;</p> <p>My poison eye right now is for duster-length cardigans. Too much like a bathrobe for my taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970543 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 20:52:25 +0000 Anonymous 1970543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Grey. &nbsp;The color grey. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970537 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 20:18:08 +0000 MsMaven 1970537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, seems like there are way too many bells out there when I look online at fashion sites. I don't see many women wearing them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Not in love with knee length cardigans either. Just like long coats, they don't suit a car-oriented lifestyle. Also they flop around and I'll never forget the one I had with fringe on that accidentally got into the toilet in a restaurant. I know some fashionistas love them, but I will never buy another one.</p> <p>I don't like thin merino sweaters. If I want a wool sweater, why would I buy such a thin, non-warm one? Don't look in my donate bag, please. I can't explain why I bought so many the last couple of years. (Hint, cheap and on sale at BR.)</p> <p>I don't wear really low-rise jeans, but even medium and "high rise" still slide down my straight hips and flat butt. A belt helps a bit, but not enough. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970529 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 19:45:20 +0000 Helena 1970529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*non-fussy sleeve high five* ... although they can look so pretty, I find them hard to keep out of things! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970498 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 17:52:55 +0000 unfrumped 1970498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Staysfit said. I’ll sometimes wear a lantern sleeve or shorter bell. Those lovely photos of models with romantic bell sleeves over hands are not my lifestyle. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970486 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 17:34:43 +0000 Staysfit 1970486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way bell sleeve tops look, but only buy them if the sleeves are 3/4 length or shorter so the bells don't hang in the sink when I wash my hands. I purchased some puff shoulder balloon sleeve/bishop sleeve tops. I like them because they are fitted at the bottom. They don't seem to drag or interfere with what I am doing. I try to be practical with my clothes. I need to be able to move quickly at all times because of the kind of work I do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970483 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 17:30:39 +0000 rachylou 1970483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hehe. No one can pry my big crazy sleeves from my hot little hands! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970476 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 17:11:53 +0000 LaPed 1970476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've owned one bell sleeve top in my life. It was a beautiful blue breton, a vintage piece that had belonged to my grandmother first. But I learned my lesson pretty fast -- soggy cuffs every time you go to wash your hands, ugh! And don't even think about doing the dishes. I eventually chopped the bells off entirely and hemmed the sleeves to elbow length, and got quite a bit of wear out of it that way for a few more years.&nbsp;</p> <p>I still cuff my jeans -- perennial tomboy -- but I am re-embracing wearing my full length jeans at full length this fall. No icy breezes on my ankles! It's kinda nice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970467 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 17:02:04 +0000 Anonymous 1970467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha!!<br /> KikiG, I totally have the same affliction.

My #1 criteria for clothes is that they must be functional. Sleeves hanging down in my way are not functional.</p> <p>And definitely low rise pants for me, too. Again, constantly pulling up my pants in an effort to cover my butt crack...not functional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970440 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 15:59:53 +0000 Anonymous 1970440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Low rise pants.&nbsp; I didn't even know I was over them until this past weekend when I found myself adjusting them nonstop throughout the day.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970421 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 15:08:29 +0000 Angie 1970421@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exuberant sleeves are a Summer look for me too.

There are no big sleeves in the closet except maybe on a big pullover sweater which has a good chance of being edited out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970399 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 14:05:53 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1970399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great big sleeves were never for me, no matter how cool the look. Once they’re ripped from catching on a doorknob too hard, they aren’t so cute anymore. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970390 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 13:44:01 +0000 Bijou 1970390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hear you on the fussy sleeve thing. I have a couple of tops with them and find my love for them is waning, especially with the added hassle of putting toppers over them. No doubt, as soon as I say that, I will come across something with big sleeves that I "have to have" but currently I intend to not add any more to my wardrobe.</p> <p>Thank goodness for La Ped's November challenge, no more purchases for me for a month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/things-i-am-tired-of#post-1970377 Tue, 30 Oct 2018 13:10:33 +0000 always trying 1970377@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am getting really tired of bell sleeves, or any kind of big sleeves.&nbsp; I have several tops with them, but they are all more summery, so not wearing them now.&nbsp; I have a velvet top with sort of not too full baloonish sleeves that I definitely will wear this winter. Also tired of rolling up my jeans.&nbsp; I&nbsp;have some that I will still wear that will have to be rolled when I wear them with some of my booties, but&nbsp; I now prefer ankle or crop pants and jeans. </p>
