They look really cute on you! However, I dont know if I, personally, would spend $10 on sleeves.

yea, I regularly spend $10-20 on leg/arm warmers. I really love the style of sleeve & all the tops I was finding that kind of sleeve on {like at Lip Service and such} were like $60 tops. And they never fit my chest… so this way I got the sleeves without the dissapointment of ill fitting toppage. I tried to wear this as a top like how Nyssa described, but the waistband was too tight for me.

Aha! I just didn’t look back far enough…

Ok, that is just unbearably cool. Something else that could be done,possibly, is to just cut out enough of the crotch and pull it on over your head like a shirt that stops just under the bust. The waistband would stop at about the braband. Tribal belly dancers do this with fishnets a lot and then wear a bra over it. That would still give you the ‘cool sleeve’ look. That looks really good Rebeckah.

That is such a neat idea! I cannot seem to find that post either, but that is largely because I can’t remember how long ago that was and it’s Friday so my head is jumping ahead to this weekend ~;)

ah-HA! I found it Friday, June 03, 2005 here. I couldn't find it before because I looked a year too early. Have a happy weekend! :)))
