Even though summer is just around the corner, the weather here in the midwest has felt more like winter and to be honest its starting to take a toll. The gloomy, rainy and downright chilly days have left me feeling like a bit of a hermit with a chip on her shoulder. Its honestly hard to even think about shopping for summer skirts, dresses and tops, and forget about wearing any of them. (#FirstWorldProblems)

The Statement Sleeve

But with that said, I am really feeling the statement sleeve trend especially when it comes attached to the softest spring sweater. I had been on the hunt for something similar to this for a while, so when I spotted this spring sweater at Zara I didn’t even hesitate. Its dramatic ruffle sleeve is definitely not subtle, but when your style leans more minimalist like mine, a dramatic detail can completely take an outfit to the next level. 

The trick to wearing this style of top is to keep the rest of the look simple and streamlined. A classic silhouette will let your statement top be the star of the show.

And since statement tops clearly aren’t going anywhere, here are a few more that I love!
