I don’t know if anyone else has noticed but there seems to be this new fashion out there in shirts for women. They are all virtually sleeveless. I went shopping at one of my favorite clothing stores yesterday, Kohl’s Department Store. I was on the lookout for some nice tops, however, was disappointed to see that almost all of them were pretty near being sleeveless.
Its summer so you might be wondering what the big deal is about short sleeves. Well, I am still working on my upper arms so I don’t feel comfortable showing them off in a very short-sleeved shirt. It took a lot of searching to finally find one that covers up my upper arms.
Speaking of arms, I can’t help but think of Michele Obama. One trainer on the web has said that we too can have “Michele Obama Arms.” Hey, I wouldn’t mind.
Mrs. Obama was criticized for wearing a sleeveless dress back when our President gave his address before Congress. Some people complained that she was showing off too much skin. They were probably jealous. I know I’m a little jealous of those arms.
So now I can’t help but wonder if she is the cause of the near sleeveless shirts that seem to be dominating the clothing stores. I mean, I’m glad for her but not all of us have arms that the world wants to see.
If anything, it has caused me to step it up a bit in toning my arms. I use light weights to work on them. I can already see a difference. However I am not quite where Michele Obama is; although, I hope to get there.
If any readers would like to share their arm toning tips, pass them along. This can be an area of our bodies that is a real struggle for some.
