Good Wednesday loves...
I hope your week is going great thus far. Mine is actually going by rather quickly. I'm patiently awaiting my best friend's arrival to town so I'm super excited about that. I just wanted to do a quick outfit post since I have yet to post one. Today's outfit is all about this belt and my undying love for all things associated with them. I don't usually follow fashion rules but I have found some helpful little tricks that make styling my belts really fun.
Trick #1: Find the right position-this may be lower or higher than your natural waistline. I usually like mine to sit right below the 'girls'
Trick #2: Pick a color-you may either choose to blend or contrast it with your #OOTD
Trick #3: Choose elastic-when in doubt, always choose a belt with elastic. Not only do they stretch, but they're insanely comfortable

Belts may feel odd, especially when you are not used to wearing them. I personally can't live without them. Please feel free to share any other 'belt wearing' tricks that you have found helpful.
Thanks for reading!
XOXOXO
Really love this look...
ReplyDeleteThanks love!
DeleteI can't live without belts, they change a whole outfit!
ReplyDeleteThey really do change the 'fit. I don't know what I would do without them.
Deletelove your tips on wearing a belt! i think it's totally right you need to check where you like it best. i personally like a belt a little below my natural waist b/c i have such a short torso.
ReplyDeleteI usually wear my belts below my natural waistline-especially when wearing low rise bottoms
DeleteI didn't make my blue fringe top, it was a great find from winners, I think I'll have to make one though as I'm wearing it out!
ReplyDeleteOhhhh...I can't wait to see it!
DeleteLove the tip about making sure your belt has elastic!! So many times I cinched my waist with belts that did not have elastic and ended up paying for it later lol.

Yess!! The elastic has saved my life. It also keeps the belt in place better.
Deletelove the belt!
ReplyDeleteThanks Megan...
DeleteElastic belts! Of course! I'd forgotten about those! I used to wear them a lot in the 80s...
ReplyDeleteI came here to comment per your request on FBFF. Looks like you returned to the Blogger default comment system? (That's what I'm commenting on here and not Disqus). Disqus has been functioning fine for me as far as the comment box working. I had installed it for the email notifications of comments and that stopped working for the past couple of weeks. Seems OK now, as far as I can tell. I hate to deinstall, because then I'll lose a year's worth of comments!
I actually just removed the widget from my layout-it doesn't appear that I've lost any comments because of it. Thanks for visiting.
DeleteThanks for visiting the Queen City Style! I am loving these jeans and the shirt!

DeleteI like the zipper on this belt and the floral shirt looks great! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe zipper is so different, that's what caught my eye!
DeleteOh my goodness I am in love with your blouse! I can't believe it's thrifted, what an amazing find! Just found your blog and love it! Would love if you checked out my Thursday link party or thriftfanatics page if you have a minute darling (;
