The Statement Sleeve

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know I'm a fan of a statement piece whether it be shoes or bags. This one's a little different though, I guess you could say it's more of an embellishment - the statement sleeve. I'm partial to a statement sleeve as it just elevates an item, especially jumpers. From bell sleeves to oversized, puffy sleeves to patterned sleeves...I'll take them all!

The jumpers I'm wearing are very different but both have a statement sleeve. The first is from Marks and Spencer (old). It's a gorgeous blush pink colour with a high neck. It's topped off with the most amazing bell sleeves - they're huge! They're so billowy and floaty, adding a little drama to such a simple jumper. The second has a different kind of statement sleeve. This one has fringing and varying textures which I just love! It shows how a plain jumper can be transformed with a little extra detail on the sleeve. This one's from ASOS (also old). The best bit is that both of these jumpers were super affordable.

You don't just have to wear a statement sleeve with a jumper, it works so well on tops and blouses too! My favourite way to wear the statement sleeve is with a simple pair of jeans or a denim skirt to make the sleeve stand out. This style can completely transform a simple outfit!
