In my last post for my "All About Sleeves" series, we discussed how to add the bell and flounce cuff to sleeves here. It's the "year of the sleeve" and brands are taking advantage of this trend by adding interesting cutouts, oversized ruffles, and off-the-shoulder looks to name a few. The great news is you don't have to go buy new tops to get in on the trend. In this post I'm showing you how to add a cold shoulder sleeve to a sleeveless top.
