I am not supposed to add sleeveless items except for intentional layering pieces, but I could not resist this kind of moto-peplum top from WHBM. I went to 2 stores to find it in the right size.
One, I love "subdued peplum" styles, not very flouncy, and 2, love princess seam structure, and the neckline is high but has interest (it's not a simple jewel neck, but has a little dip due to moto). Navy is JFE and goes with skirts.

Problem is, it is best worn as a sleeveless item. I will wear a coat over it when at work, and I won't implode if I have to "bare arms", but I probably won't be trying to "sport" the sleeveless aspect .

So it's the kind of thing that would have been better for with a short or 3/4 sleeve to wear as a kind of jacket-top on its own, yet I am so drawn to its being a more refined top that I got it anyway. It is my dream type item that is not just a plain knit, but I admit it's sort of on the periphery of my imaginary daily style. Tags are still on in case I come to my senses. Also, the Catch-22 is that when an item like this has the sleeves, then the fit has to be spot-on in multiple areas.

However I'd be interested in ideas for adding a sleeve to create some different looks--possibly a tissue-weight knit narrow-sleeved striped T with neckline that doesn't show, or thin knit turtleneck, using it as a vest. Or, can anyone envision what style of topper would work as JFE and not fight too much with it, if only for part of daily wear, such as at a business meeting.

I think it would look great on some of the fabbers out there who rock more sleeveless items and are ink/navy fans.
