How to wear the bell sleeve fashion trend

This past Saturday was my boyfriend’s company 15-year anniversary. AND Oh boy 15 years, what an accomplishment that is! Not only has he been able to run his company for 15-years, successfully, but he has been able to create a community where everyone is so connected and bond by this mutual interest of becoming a healthier better person. If you were to attend one of their annual parties or even his classes you can feel the happiness and “family like” connectedness everyone has. I am truly so proud of him, he doesn’t believe this but, I learn so much from him every day. Yet, I think what I’ve learned the most is how passionate he is about what he does. I believe that his passion, he has for helping others become a better version of themselves through living a healthier lifestyle, is one of the key reasons why he’s reached this 15-year mile stone.

Okay, enough about me ranting about my boyfriend. Lets talk all things bell sleeve fashion trend. If there is one trend I am fully loving right now is the bell sleeve trend! I am obsessed with all things bell sleeve, pair that with an off the shoulder style and I’m sold. This off the shoulder bell sleeve top is from “Free People” and it has this uncanny retro feel. There are many different ways to pair a bell sleeve top, pictured below I styled it two ways. Initially I paired the top with a jean skirt, however, right before I left I changed into black jeans for a more “formal feel.”  Nevertheless, I liked the jean skirt better for a daytime outing, paired with some cool retro sunnies and a thick platform heel and you’re all set.

Mindful Mantra: Disconnect to reconnect

Mantra to reconnect: I disconnect to reconnect. Our digital devices can be a source of constant distractions and create an inability to focus. Make a commitment to power off for a minimum of 20 minutes daily in order to refocus, reconnect, and re-energize. – Dr. Romie
