How about this?

i like the idea of a long sleeve printed thermal like the ones that delias has.

Foley Thermal Hearts

Foley Thermal Leaves

That is SO pretty- the sleeves look really tight on the model's arm...are they that tight IRL?

zeitgeist4 · Gucci

I tried that one on in the burgundy and LOVED it, but the button didn't have the strength to "lock and load the girls."

Jlear: The arms WERE tight IRL.

I like the long sleeve shirt idea... that was the first thing I thought of.

If the sleeves are too tight to do that, you could wear a sleeveless sweater underneath it, too... that would help with the warmth factor.

cotton, nylon

cashmere

merino wool

Very cute jacket, BTW. I love it!

Very cute. I definitely like the look of a long sleeve shirt underneath. Black, pink (dark or light), hunter green, teal, navy, purple, burgundy, and red would all be cute underneath. And the printed thermals from Delias would be cute too.

ETA: I think that will make a really good transitional piece for winter into spring and summer into fall next year. I think you'll get some good mileage out of it.

I got this thermal tee this weekend from JCrew and it is really thin, so it could work under tighter sleeves. I also like the fact that it is long and the sleeves are also really long. HTH

BTW, cute jacket.

Rica · Kenneth Cole

Yessssss I bought the same jacket thinger in black! Great minds think alike, MissMee! I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought the arms were tight. I thought maybe I was just gettin buff. Ha. I really really like the long sleeve tee underneath. In fact, I think I saw that look on ST and it's the reason I bought the jacket. I just bought a plain dark purple long sleeve to go under mine, but I really like the printed thermal idea. V. cute!

MissMee · Kate Spade

Hmmmm...... guess I'd better try it on (I never try on tops) to see how the sleeves fit. They don't look so small that they'd be tight, but maybe they are....... Drat.

I like the tissue tee idea and the printed thermal idea. I'll have to see how tight the arms fit.

llegs: I love that turtleneck!!

I tried on the one I bought (size small) and it was tight all over. Not majorly, but too tight for comfort. And I wear a small or xs on top, so if anyone goes to get it maybe go up a size.

Miss Mee.. Tell us what you think of the sleeves after you've tried it on.

I have big arms and doubt this would fit me. I just want another opinion!

crazyshopper · Nine West

I have that jacket and the arms are definitely tight. I have pretty wimpy arms, too. But a thin long-sleeve tee might work.

KE · Kenneth Cole

Where did all of you get that jacket??? I love it and have been looking for one like that-
