OOTD // 3rd February 2014 with Wingz

Dress: Primark
Sleeves: c/o Wingz

I have a bit of a thing about my upper arms. They never really bothered me until a couple of years ago when I saw a photo of me from the side and suddenly noticed my arms looked like turkey legs. It doesn't bother me too much, and I still wear plenty of sleeveless tops and dresses (examples here, here and here) but I definitely feel more confident with my arms covered.

Then, of course, there's the winter. Even though it's cold, I still want to wear my pretty dresses but don't really fancy getting hypothermia. What I usually do is wear a long sleeved top under my dresses but it tends to look a little odd with two necklines.

Luckily for me, there's a solution that fixes both of these problems. Wingz are sleeves that cover your arms but discreetly tuck under your bra so there's none of that double neckline effect. Instead, it just looks like a feature of your dress. These were actually featured on Dragons' Den and I remember telling Rich what a great idea they were and how I would definitely use them! 
I was a little puzzled by the sizing. There are 4 sizes which cover UK sizes 6- 28 but I wasn't sure whether to go for a size 1 (12-16) or a size 2 (18-22) since I fall in between them. In the end, I settled on a size 1, worrying that the 2 would be too large. They're a little tight and come up a bit short, despite my tiny T-rex arms, so I'd recommend sizing up if you fall between sizes.

There are all sorts of colours and styles so there's a style for every outfit. I think my Wingz are going to be my new fashion staple!
