@SahmIam  Oh yea, 12 years.  I try to watch my expressions here but every once in awhile JMJ just slips out.

You know, the more I look at that pink dress..... If they tied the dangling, what are they, tabs? and added some pretty jewelry and put that poor woman into a pair of shoes that actually suited the dress, they could have made it look kinda Barbie :-)

@Bird mama LOL. Same here plus college. I know exactly what you mean. In my world, once it was said, the person then made the Sign of the Cross. Lol. I saw that a LOT growing up in an Irish Catholic neighborhood and all the years in Catholic school. : )

I like a gentle puff sleeve that does not have elastic cutting off the top of the arm.... I like many presented here, a few not so much.  Woman Happy

@Bird mama I like your blouse & would wear it, I'd describe as a bell sleeve.

I don't need extra puff or fluff and won't be buying anything that increases what I already have.   This stuff has Jane Treacy's name written all over it. 


@Kachina624, you had me in hysterics with your comment above. Jane Treacy magnet, indeed.

@kitcat51  JCP is killing me with their talls selection this season.  I've been placing orders almost every 2 weeks.

 

Just saw this and I want it

 

Worthington Long Sleeve Blouse-Talls

 

I like this too

 

Liz Claiborne Long Sleeve Knit Blouse-Talls

 

Already bought this one

 

St. John's Bay Long Sleeve Round Neck Woven Floral Blouse-Talls

 

I'm liking sleeve details.

 

I did relax the elastic on my puffy sleeve top.  My arms are skinny but I still don't like to feel elastic at the elbow.
