I say wear what is comfortable for you be it sleeves or sleeveless. It gets really hot here, so there is no way in the summer I am wearing sleeves. Believe me I see much worst on the beach than my not quite flabby arms!Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16713972920729241428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-35168846843762193092009-07-13T15:44:15.478-03:002009-07-13T15:44:15.478-03:00I love this dress !

His response was..."I never notice women's arms unless they are weight lifters whose arms look like men's." Just as he would admire they popeye arms on a guy I suppose! (We are both late 50's) When So are we obsessing for nothing? We are all in the same boat when it comes to arms. My mom and her sisters were always warm even in winter so they wore sleeveless all year long and although they didn't have "bat wings" per se, they certainly didn't have thin arms. Wear what ever you want. And if it's any consolation, that 40 something woman who swam in the Olympics and trained 4 to 6 hous a day was on Jay Leno one night and guess what? There was some jiggle when she raised her arm.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02395228631699632403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-77491442227646445142009-07-12T20:23:56.299-03:002009-07-12T20:23:56.299-03:00I really love it.

But in the grand scheme of things, there are lots bigger things to concern myself than my "baby arms" ;).

It all depends on how the arms look. Around the house is not an issue, to me, but out and about I think a cover-up such as the cardigan you chose is in order. Unless of course you are in the garden or fishing. hahaThe Sewing and Knitting Lofthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312496842176950269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3072586494339347029.post-80565018851712742092009-07-11T12:12:29.053-03:002009-07-11T12:12:29.053-03:00We are the same age!
