Sleeves in the summer...


I am always cold. 

And I have the worst orangutan arms.  Long and skinny.

Therefore, I like to cover my arms as much as possible.  Sleeves are my friend.  With air conditioners blasting full force, it's a necessity really.

So I've been inspired by some summertime pins that not only mask my nonexistent guns, but also keep them warm....













I thought I'd try out my version of rolled sleeves with shorts for our weekly Bachelorette gathering........




Then again for a dinner with friends.......






Now that school is out, I need motivation to wear something other than Soffe shorts and t-shirts all the time.  


I do not want to end up on that People of Wal-Mart website.
