Wrist action

Wrist action, originally uploaded by Cohabitating_Closet.

Today, day 3 of the Dress Your Best Challenge, I'm dressing for my delicate wrists, which are the end of my quite long arms. I don't know why I like them, but they're small, bony, and I use them all the time while sitting in front of a computer all day, so I appreciate that they haven't gone out on me yet (knock wood). They're pretty strong too, helping with me almost yearly moves in graduate school and carrying heavy bags of groceries throughout the city (We haven't got the old lady cart yet, but we think about it).
I have problems fitting for my long arms and getting shirts to go to my wrists, but thankfully bracelet length jackets and shirts fit the bill by not even trying. Or rolling up sleeves, which somehow even works OK in colder weather. I think the flash of wrist adds a feminine element to boxier and masculine cuts of blazers and button down shirts. As for this outfit, I am not quite sure if my "mauve" jacket goes well with the bright vintage 1970s/1980s tomato polyester dress, but I'm hoping it does.
It's quite grey and gloomy- I call it NY does Vancouver without the abundant natural beauty/awesome coffee. I hope the weather is better in your locales (and gets nicer here soon).
