fat arms

 Lilly Pulitzer  t shirts are the ultimate shape flaterers .   Yesthey are 25  buxa piece ...but worth it . The collar really flaters the neckline .... the cotton is  gorgeous and  sunstantial enough to be forgiving without  adding bulk .... the sleeves arethe perfect mid length .. andthe cut  elongates and slims the waist and makes  bra overhangs  disappear . 

brooks brothers t shirts ae also quite good ....

Now that you bring this up, I wanted to comment on something I noticed this weekend.  I was at a house party with a lot of girlfriends right around my age (I'm 48).  They were between about 48 and 56.  Most of these women have been pretty slim all their lives and have maybe added an extra 10-15 lbs in the last few years, so still looking great.  You know what, they all have baggy arms!  Most are almost as bad as mine!  I probably weigh the least of them all now and was the heaviest for years.  I guess what I'm trying to point out is that we are very self concious about our arms, but when you look around its very common and nothing to be ashamed of.  I had to wear sleeveless shirts when I was obese otherwise I would be a mess from the heat.  I figure if I did it then, why not now! 

Lately I have been a regular at Goodwill. I don't stay in a size very long so I don't want to spend a lot of money. I also go to Old Navy a lot. They have lots of regular tops. On their facebook there is a place where you can get a coupon each week, plus if you sign up for their emails you get tons of coupons and sale ads. I hate my arms too, but I also don't care lol. My belly skin bugs me the most.

I think sleeves that come down to your elbows are making a comeback because I went shopping a few weeks ago and now I've got a bunch of shirts with that sleeve length.

I got most of them at Old Navy and H&M.
