arms. Similarly, fun chandelier earrings would do the trick - as long as they work with the shape and length of your neck. They will elongate and pull the eye up, making everything underneath (including your upper arms and torso) look longer and leaner.

Finely-boned women should forgo anything heavy or too bold, opting instead for more interesting filigree pieces. The earrings can still be long and give that elegant swan neck, but they need to be delicate - in the form of slender chains or one long delicate filigree piece.

Same principle applies to the necklaces. If you are delicate-boned, chances are you have stunning collarbones, so cover up your upper arms, but open up those sexy shoulders and enhance the effect with an exquisite filigree necklace. Emphasize your fine wrists with thin bracelets - this will push the three-quarter sleeve effect further and, again, distract from your upper arms.

ALL IN ALL...

Create a look for yourself. Combine your clothes and accessories in unexpected ways, try them on in front of a full length mirror and see what the overall effect is. Do you look chunky? Shapeless? Bulky? Then it has to go - and it does not matter how much it may have cost you. On the other hand, if an outfit makes you look sexy, feminine, shapely, saucy, elegant, hold onto it for dear life and get more of the same in different colors that flatter you. No imperfection, including large upper arms, is insurmountable, if handled the right way.
