more exaggerated sleeves

leave it to valentino to inspire me again. you wouldn't be able to wear a shirt like this often. nor would i recommend you trying to stand out so much. but when you do wear it, be prepared to draw a lot of attention. is wearing a bell sleeve like this in or out? to be honest, as of right now in spring 2010, it's probably out. but this kind of style is right up my alley: crisp white shirt, romantic bell sleeves, ruffled cuffs around the biceps, and an interesting spin on the collar. it's kind of typical to wardrobe a shirt like this a basic black pencil skirt. but to make it interesting, i would wear this paired with an beige or silver pair of tuxedo pants to a black tie occasion. how's that for unconventional? but valentino makes it happen.
