I know that would be the grown up thing to do venall but the look of my flabby upper arms offends me and my aesthetic sense grin

Why worry about your upper arms , I am sure no one really notices. I would not wear open toe shoes because I have a twisted toe but now I say if people don't like the look of them just don't look . Don't be ashamed of them x

Size 8. Embroidered hippy, dippy tops, floppy hats, long skirts and the opposite to your question - no bra!

The problem with a cardigan is that it can hide a pretty neckline or bodice and somehow spoil the line of the dress. And is an extra layer even when light. Talking of half sleeved dresses my elbows are not to be admired either.

I don’t like showing my arms either! Not many half-sleeve dresses about, I buy sleeveless dresses and wear with light cardigans.

Short shorts - nobody needs to see my cellulite grin

Why have you stopped wearing them - apart from the weather?

Sleeveless dresses
