Black Bell Sleeves.

New year, same bell sleeves.

Welcome back and hello 2018!

Bell sleeves (and statement sleeves in general) aren’t going anywhere in 2018. I’m digging this black sweater: the bell sleeves are fun, but not overwhelming. (Which means I don’t have to worry about dragging ’em across my plate when I’m trying to eat– has this happened to you? A shirt that is so extra that it ends up getting dunked in your soup bowl?) Fitted, clean, minimal, with a little flare at the sleeve. I paired this sweater with faded black jeans (last seen here) and gray ankle boots to keep with a moody + chic aesthetic.

Shop the look:

We’re in the heart of sweater season, so I’m all about finding cool spins on the classic sweater (bell sleeves! Pom poms! Prints!) to jazz things up. A bell sleeve is just what this outfit needed to add a little interest while staying cool.

So how was everyone’s New Year? I dressed like a disco ball (more to come on that) and rung in 2018 with close family and friends. We started with a steakhouse dinner and then moved to a hotel suite with some killer views of the south side of the metro. Lots of champagne, as you do. NYE is my birthday, so doubling-down on the celebrating is the standard.
