Fashion Chronicles :: For Whom The Bell Sleeve Tolls

There are so many "trends" en vogue today that I am absolutely mad mad mad about. We're channeling our past with echoes of the 1970s returning playfully to the fashion world. We're seeing long wavy hair, flair and bell bottomed jeans, patchworks, embellishments and embroidery, and the loose free-flowing style of boho-chic are showing no signs of being pushed to the back of our closets. Take the bell sleeves, some mildly flared, others in a great dramatic and exaggerated manner which I happen to adore. After all, if you're going to make a statement then make the statement. In terms of fashion I don't happen to subscribe to less is more. I happen to believe that more is more. Go overboard. Go big. Be playful and dramatic and most importantly, have fun! And what fun fashion is today!

The bell sleeve dresses up any top. Adds an air of elegance to even the most casual of outfits. Whether worn with jeans or a ballgown length skirt, the bell sleeve steals the show. It's playful. Dramatic. Serious. Sexy. It looks fantastic on everyone. At every age.
