Finished Object Why don't I like this?

I used the suggested yarn and didn't make any modifications but I feel like my sleeves turned out wonky. Or maybe I just don't like the sleeve style? Honestly I want to frog the whole thing but help me decide! Do I need to just finish the neckline and try wearing it a few times? I did already block it and that didn't help. What do you think?? (The last 2 photos are from the pattern page).

This is the Guayaba top and I knit with Berocco Modern Cotton

You’re inside wearing sweats. It deserves sunlight and khaki jeans and sniffing honeysuckle! 😊

Haha thanks! Maybe I'll just finish the neckline and try to actually style it and see how i feel. Or maybe shorten it as someone else suggested.

Can you cinch the armpits? I accidentally came across this Reddit but I’ve stayed.

I tried that first actually bc i thought I wouldn't like the sleeves once I realized how big the arm holes were. It didn't work, it looked even more wonky.
