Bell sleeves are great for those days when your forearms are feeling totally bloated.  Such a common problem, amirightladies? And if you can make it through a whole day wearing bell sleeves without dipping them in any of your 3 meals (or 5-6 if you’re like me), congratulations! You’ve just earned yourself a big glass of wine. Now that I think about it, bell sleeves kind of look like upside-down wine glasses. That might explain why I’m a fan of this trend.

I like to keep my hair blond so I look sweet and angelic. It makes it more impactful and surprising when I drop some sarcasm. Cute floral dresses help too. I tend to have a pretty surly expression most of the time, so without these measures I would probably look and sound like a serial killer. Which I’m not. (Or am I???)

Speaking of jokes about murder, if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t find that completely inappropriate, you should probably be listening to the podcast My Favorite Murder. It’s been around for about a year now, so if you start at the beginning you’ll have commute entertainment for weeks! You can thank me later. Unless you dislike true crime, the F word, and women who go on tangential rants about the patriarchy…then you probably won’t thank me.
