The Floofiest Sleeves of All (and Orange)

Today was a whirlwind! I had over 100 emails to deal with, my bosses took me out for lunch for Admin Professionals Day, and I spent the afternoon in meetings.

My colleagues were all very impressed with my ginormous floofy sleeves.

Blouse - WoWo, consignment, Vancouver; purchased here for $130.00
Mesh shirt - AWear, vintage 90s, thrifted; last worn here (2nd outfit) in September 2025 for brunch
Trousers - Long Tall Sally, consignment; last seen here in March with my baroque blouse
Shoes - Ishshoes, Fluevog; last worn here in August 2025 with sunshine yellow and burgundy

I steamed out the creases in the sleeves and look how big they got!

I felt a little bit mariachi "cha cha cha" in them and ended up shoving them up to my elbows to better show my jewelry.

Incognito.

It was a gorgeous sunny day - no coat worn!

I mean, how could I cover up these sleeves?

You can just see the patterned orange/pink mesh long-sleeved top under it. I like the options for wearing different things under it...and over it, which is likely what I'll try next time.

The stuff:

As I walked to the restaurant for lunch in these heels, I thought of my newly-bought white shoes. These are still fine for the office...but they are on a limited time left in my closet.
