Hi girls!

I hope you can help me with a fashion dilema..

I have a dress I love and I have already used it with golden sandals and a small golden clutch, see photo:

The problem is that I don't like my arms and I would prefer to cover them.. what do you suggest? a cardigan? what color?

You look beautiful in that dress! I am also self conscious about my arms so I totally understand what you mean! I think you have many options - you could go for a casual look with a denim jacket or try a cropped cardigan (I prefer 3/4 length or elbow length). You could have lots of options with colors - white, cream, black, gray, inky or navy blue, turquoise etc.

Pretty dress! As another arm-self-conscious person here, I understand! I like Shana's idea of making the dress casual with a jean jacket and maybe metallic gladiators?

JCrew has tons of cardis in a rainbow of colors, if you need a place to start looking.

Shana summed up my opinion precisely. I would add yellow to the possible mix for cardi colors. Yellow and red is nice for summer.

Oh, pretty dress! Cardis and jean jackets, definitely. Also consider a shawl or pashmina of some sort, or a bolero jacket.

That dress and color are beautiful on you! I share Shana's thoughts too. A cropped white denim jacket might be fun for summer, or you could go for lots of color pairing it with purple or fushia or turquoise and chunky beads of many colors.

What a fab frock! And you have a killer smile :0)

(Nothing further to add other than I like your style).

Wow, what a beautiful dress! I know you already received lots of feedback about this, but "cropped denim/white denim jacket" was the first thing I thought of, too.

Thank you gals!

Great suggestions! I like the idea of a 3/4 sleeve cardigan in purple or yellow, I never thought of these colors, but I thing I will like the contrast! I will also try a denin fitted jacket!
