Not interested in those or long nails because I do a lot of housework, play piano, and wash my hands too often.  They would drive me crazy.  And I don't like pushed up sleeves either because they keep falling down.  BIG NO for me!

I have wide shoulders and a long narrow torso, and 

I prefer oversized sweaters. with extra long sleeves.  I usually make my own because I don't find anything I would wear .... but ...

 

Just yesterday, I bought a black oversize turtleneck sweater from Amazon.  (I don't like knitting or crocheting with black yarn). Amazon is having some great sales .... sweater was only $20.

@wagirl   😄. I was just getting ready to post the exact same thing.  I would not wear either...the barrel jeans are the worst style ever.  I guess to each his (or her)  own...

Imagine what they'd look like worn together.  Yikes.

I've noticed that I end up cuffing a lot of my sweaters.  I like tops a bit oversized and that means I often deal with longer sleeves.  I usually just roll the sleeves back into cuffs and I can then wear them longer if I get cold hands.  

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

Thanks for the great laughs! Cat LOL

 

These sweaters appear to be consuming the wearers....like a python or something.

LOL this thread made my day!!!

 

I have plenty of regular sweaters so I will not be buying this new style of sweaters.  Good grief how can you do anything forget about eating with those long, oversized sweaters.

@Shanus 

 

Laughing at your comments and the posted pictures. Gosh it was funny.

 

Wanted to mention there is a bar in my area called "Apehangers" and just the other day I saw a young woman in Target with one of their tee shirts.

 

I've never been to the place, but my ex-husband picked up his third wife there.  

 

It figures.

@Shanus Yup, I've noticed it as well. So many oversized items with either spider arms (very narrow arms on a garment), or the too long arms. I won't buy them because on me, it's not a good look.
