Huge Arms - coverup or no coverup?

Or rather, will my arms be so much of an eyesore?

I usually wear a coverup (jacket, cardigan) and I have never worn sleeveless outside of the house, but I am at that age wherein I probably shouldn't care about what people will think.

But of course, I cringe at the sight of my trunk arms.

What would you do?

No one would bat an eyelid at your arms, they really aren't that big at all, and you look absolutely fine in that outfit. I would go out like that.

That being said, if I felt uncomfortable about a part of my body being on show, I wouldn't be able to relax, so that's the important part. If you are not going to be able to stop thinking about it then take a cardi with you, so you can put it on if need be.

Your arms are not huge. And even if they were, so what.

If people are offended by the sight of limbs uncovered then they have this marvellous set of things called eyes that can swivel and point elsewhere at will.

Nice dress and bag combo btw.

Your arms are so completely fine. I wouldnt spare them a glance.

Mine get comments (they are muscular) & I hate it, I tend to stick to v necks and wide-placed straps which balances them (I'm petite and a size 10), or best yet wafty 3/4 sleeves

I’ve got big arms. Slap some fake tan on. You won’t feel nearly so self conscious
