Sometimes you come across that one trend that you cannot part with even though it has been around for a while. Can you guess which one that is? If you said the bell sleeve then you are correct, you can collect your prize at the end of this post (not really.)

There is something ethereal about a bell sleeve, maybe it all started with the flower child from the 60s that made it so organically airy and delicate that I had to incorporate the same vibe into my own style. Fast forward to now, a constructed pleather bell sleeve for the modern belle! When I first saw this top on zara.com I knew I had to give her a home. I approached checkout only to read, which are the worst three words known to any fashionista, “out of stock.” I was stunned, saddened and defeated! NOOOOO!!!

After many tireless visits to Zara, checking to see if she would ever come back, she did! I soon discovered that you can actually get online retailers to notify via email or text once an item you’re interested in is back in stock, instead of constantly checking their website for your glorious garment!

I paired the top with white jeans from Express (who says you can’t wear white denim in winter, fashion has no rules), shoes from Winners (they were actually $10 CA), purse by HM and glittery socks from Top Shop.

Now go and ring your own bell, parfait beauties!
