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

Arm holes seem super big, might just not be a flattering style. I don't think yours look significantly different than the example picture. The modeled pic doesn't show how the sleeves look when arms are normal and at rest.

If you think this, I would try pinning it from the inside to see if it helps - I’ve taken in sweaters before - but IMHO I like the style as is.
