Statement Sleeves: How To Style
Statement Sleeve Street Style

*ring ring* The '70s are calling, but this time they don't want anything back. A major trend from the '70s is coming back but this time more modern and fresher than ever: the statement sleeve trend, more commonly known as the bell sleeve. This trend can be seen in different forms, and wow do I want to get my hands on all of them. The statement sleeve trend includes bell sleeves, extended sleeves, ruffle sleeves, split sleeves, graphic sleeves, embroidered sleeves and other different styles.

Not only are statement sleeved shirts and dresses easy to mix and match as an addition to your wardrobe, but they also give your outfit a fun, fresh 2017 look! Here are a few ways you can style some statement sleeve trends. Like what you see? Click the picture to shop.

Bell Sleeve

To create a classic look with your bell sleeved top, wear it with a nice pair of denim and shoes of your choice! Your kicks can be anything from heels to booties to sneakers.

Go all out with the '70s trend by pairing your bell sleeved top with bell bottoms.

To rock the bell sleeve trend during warmer months, wear your bell sleeved rompers and dresses with shoes that match the weather. Add tights for extra warmth if needed!

Extended Sleeve

Give your extended sleeved look a little edge by wearing it with a leather skirt and boots.

Another great thing about this trend is that you can dress it up or dress it down. For a more casual look, pair your extended sleeved top with black jeans and combat boots.

I love the athleisure look applied to an outfit with an extended sleeved top, not to mention how comfy it can be!

Ruffle Sleeve

If you need a reason to dress up your blouse, wear it with a pair of trousers and a comfortable pair of heels.

Night out on the town after work? Swap the trousers with your favorite pair of denim!

This ruffle sleeved sweater looks great tucked into a skirt paired with over the knee boots!

Layering technique + statement sleeve top = a look! If you want to spice up your outfit a bit, add a dress over your statement sleeved top. You can also wear it under a leather jacket or a jean jacket.

There are so many fun ways to mix and match this trend. The versatility of being able to dress the look up or down makes it an awesome trend to add to your closet.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
