Tips from a Pro

Close your eyes.
 
Imagine, in your mind, the perfect rolled up sleeve.

The perfect mix of formal and messy.

What is the first thing to come to mind? Is there a certain brand over others who takes this look to a new level of perfection?


 J.Crew, perhaps? The brand who can do no wrong? Yes, they have the perfect rolled-sleeve down to a science.

According to Marina Dobreva, personal stylist for J.Crew, you achieve the J.Crew sleeve by "Taking the cuff and bringing it up to the elbow... THEN rolling the remaining part of the sleeve up to the elbow. This way the cuff is always showing."

*cue the "OMG why didn't I think of that?!!?" feelings*

That was how I felt, at least. No more awkward, chunky sleeves pushed up to my elbows for me!

Happy Tuesday, loves :)
