I usually don't follow fashion trends but I made an exception with the current statement sleeve trend. I love the dramatic impact you can make with an easy change.
I started with this outfit from the thrift store I scored for $6. The shirt is from Banana Republic and the skirt is Forever 21.
I chopped off the sleeves of the shirt. Wasn't feeling the collar and removed that too.
I used the lower half of the skirt for the statement sleeves.
I cut the top of the statement sleeve the same size as the shirt sleeve opening and sewed the sides.
With right sides together, I sewed the statement sleeves to the shirt.

What a fun shirt this is now! Great job!
They certainly do make a statement! And what an easy way to jazz up a shirt that already fits nicely. Great job!
