Bell Sleeves Styling Tips

May 12, 2016

HMDenimBellSleeves-1

I always adore the bell sleeve trend, especially on other people lol. For me, again with the petite frame talk, anything baggy and big I tend to stay away from. But I do think it’s so cute. So this is actually my very first bell sleeve top, I didn’t own anything like this before. When I saw this in the store, I was intrigued by the deep V-neck and when I tried it on, I actually really liked it. If you want to try this trend yourself, consider these tips below to make your bell sleeve outfit boho chic!

Shop the post:

1. Do wear white: Whether your bell sleeve top is white, or your bottoms are white, do wear the color. White is chic, and it balances out your outfit. Since your bell sleeves are the center of attention, they tend to make the outfit look “busy”, so give it some breathing room, add the white!

2. Keep it simple: Bell sleeve top is already a statement piece, the bigger the sleeves, the bigger the statement. So keep the rest of the outfit simple: skinny jeans, leggings, shorts. Maybe try to avoid mixing prints, your outfit would be too busy with all the sleeves and the prints.

3. Do have fun and dance around! After all, those sleeves are meant for lots of movement and just asking to be swung around!

Do you already have any bell sleeve piece? Bell sleeve top, bell bottoms, maybe a dress? How do YOU make your outfit chic?

P.S. My hat with my custom monogram was a gift from So Swoozie’s. Do check them out, they have so many cute things for hostess gifts, or just for your own home and yourself!

    The bell sleeves look so amazing on you hun! I really like the idea of styling them with white pants to create balance- I’m a pear shape so I think this could work for me too 🙂

    Adding white to tone the look down is a very good tip, never thought to that before but definitely a good rule to keep in mind.

The chance of drawing the Secret Labubu character The chance of drawing the Secret Labubu character “Duo Duo” is 1:72, a rare one! ——— we only found that out later on our drive home! 😄🤎
Yes we are late to the game at this point 🤪. When we got our very FIRST Labubu blind box in the store, the lady had offered that she had a green on hand so if we didn’t like ours, bring it in and trade right away with her. So we unboxed in the car. Got a brown, wasn’t quite what we wanted but I decided to keep because my guts told me to. Then I later looked up to see what the character names were, and the Internet had also told me Duo Duo is a rare 1 in 72!! 🥹

We are now freaking out we have a Secret Labubu as our very first one! 😍
