Why You Need a Statement Sleeve This Winter

This winter I have literally lived in bell-sleeve sweaters.

You might be wondering, what's so great about a big sleeve?! First of all, it elevates every look. If there's a bell sleeve on a more cozy sweatshirt material, suddenly you just went from basic & casual to cute & comfy. When it comes to trends, I never will give in just because something is trendy. I need to truly love it and have it reflect my personal style. I honestly didn't think the statement sleeve was my style at first since I tend to stay away from anything super girly, but pairing it with other items that reflected me made the outfit stand out and feel like something I could be myself in!

So if you don't know where to start, I've hand picked a bunch of sweaters that are perfect for getting on the bell-sleeve band wagon.
