Fluttering sleeves

Hello everyone and thanks for stopping by!

Wishing everyone and your families a Happy Father's Day
and for those in the northern hemisphere, a happy summer solstice!

Sleeve treatments have been a big trend focus for several years running now,

and one of this season's many interpretations is the flutter sleeve

I have seen a lot of variations of this feminine sleeve style

on the internet, though I have not seen much fashion at all in real life

  as outings have been few and far between during the past months

Here are a few outfits with flutter sleeves that I put together

This forest green floral midi dress buttons down the front
and has double flutter style sleeves
I love the sleeves, but the dress is not very versatile
It's difficult to layer anything over it, because of the voluminous sleeves
I might try wearing it open as a long duster or topper over trousers or jeans for variety 

Two trimmed layers of fluttering sleeves on a gathered sleeve cap

equals a lot of shoulder volume!

For jewelry, I chose a gold tone love knot bracelet and flower petal earrings

Accessorized with a tan clutch bag and matching color belt
with an oval gold tone buckle

 Wearing super comfortable wide cross strap cork wedge heel sandals

These shoes are not vintage but the style is retro

 and I think they complement the 70's feel of the dress

The next outfit features a violet color floral print flutter sleeve top

It's peplum style reminds me of 1940's fashion

There is a lot of referencing back to previous decades this season!

There is a big mix of details being re-interpreted now

  especially from the 40's and the 70's decades

Wearing a white lace trimmed camisole under this blouse

with a black knee length flared hem skirt

Short, puffy, flutter sleeves-so feminine!

Carrying one of my favorite bags:

A box handle style with a photo of two playful Bassett Hounds

For jewelry I picked out a delicate vintage 1940's violet flower and leaf

glass bead necklace doubled up and worn as a bracelet

Vintage silver tone angel wing clip earrings, I think these are from the 60's or 70's

I'm mixing my decades all over the place in these outfits!

Black d'Orsey pumps to complete the look

Flutter sleeves to wear at home, and for the big event of the week-
a trip to the supermarket

The ruffly sleeves and royal blue embroidery makes this boho style blouse special

Worn with a woven leather belt, silver tone celestial star necklace 

and royal blue glass ball stud earrings

Comfortable low block heel sandals for walking

So far, our late spring weather has been cooler and wetter than usual

The blooming flowers in the neighborhood have been welcome spots of color

Hope everyone has a good week and stay safe!
