For a while there I would not wear a sleeveless top unless it was during my daily walks in hot weather.

I've changed my mind partly because of the new tattoo, which will never show with a short sleeve top. I see lots of women with arms less-toned than mine who are not afraid to bare it. I do a lot of heavy lifting and digging gardening. I also work with ten pound weights to keep things toned so there won't be any dangling skin.

Has anyone else changed their minds pro or con on the sleeveless top?

I remember Mom talking about no longer wearing sleeveless tops becasue of her arms. I was like...what's the big deal.

Now I know.

But I'm wearing them anyway.

They look better with a little tan!

Two days before my aunt passed away, she told me she didn't have an outfit to wear to a funeral--meaning hers so I told her I would buy her one. She insisted her arms not be showing, she wanted a jacket that would cover them. So even in death, we'll be worried about our arms.

No sleeveless tops for me. I've lost so much weight, I now have wings!
Doing the Body Pump may help some. I hope!!!

Dianne, that is so funny, you made me laugh that even in death, we'll be worried about our arms.

I'd have to agree with your aunt there, no bare arms in the casket please! [Big Grin] [Razz]

Till death my arms will be covered too! I haven't worn sleeveless in about 35 years! And really, my arms are not nearly as bad as some of my closest friends! This vanity has got to go. Comfort should be the goal, especially with the hot flashes from menopause. Maybe this summer I will try....no, I doubt it, just can't take that step!

Hey Hey Hey

That is one thing I have avoided in fashion too. I still don't like showing off my upper arms. What a point in vanity. But even now at the age of 58 - you probably will never see me with sleeveless tops. The shortest I go is short sleeves and even they have to fit just right.

Oh well, it keeps my little mind appeased. Plus, I don't wear shorts. Now, I really confessing ... But, I always have had a vanity and victorian mind set on showing off too much. Plus my legs have aged gracefully, compared to other parts! What a laugh hey?

Best to you gals.
