One Belt Two Belt Which Belt This Belt

6/30 [11/11/10]


I had high hopes for this outfit and in the end I was happy-ish with the result, but geez did it take me a while to get there. I think the final outcome was, I don’t know, after 5, 10, maybe 50 adjustments.

Which belt? Skinny belt or thick belt? Fabric belt? Leather belt? Belt over or under?

Yeah, so I had belt issues. But once I got that squared away, it was on to the cardigan which is a puzzle in itself. At this point I was beyond flustered. And flustered, in my case, usually turns into sweaty {tmi?}. Flustered + sweaty most certainly does not equal good photos. So I took off the cardi, belt and necklace and started fresh. Actually, I take that back. First I throw open my bedroom window stood in front of it for couple minutes and after I cooled down, then I started fresh.

After some self collecting and cool air I figured it out.

Pin It!

  1. I like the skinny belt! It defines your waist even under the cardi which is something I struggle with. I have the same sweat problem (TMI?) and it sucks. Usually I have that problem in my poorly ventilated master bathroom and I get all gross while I'm trying to put makeup on. Any tricks? :)

  2. Laurelann - I actually have a small fan I use constantly to combat a too hot bathroom. It also doubles nicely as a noise machine at night, lol.

  4. I had a VERY similar morning. Blazer? Cardigan? Nothing? Boots or heels? No, flats. No. It's cold. Boots. I, too, used the morning air to cool off when I took the dog outside. And came back in with a dress on. That's it. Then I added and added. And then I forgot my accessories and walked out the door. PHEW!

  7. OH! You look so pretty ♥
    I like the blue and grey together, so mod. Your cardi is like my vest from yesterday but the full version. Wanna swap?

    And I think you chose the perfect belt! Have a lovely weekend Liz!

  11. I love the skinny belt and the loose, unbelted cardigan - it creates such a great silhouette with this dress. And that blue is gorgeous on you. Love this whole look!

  12. I love this dress and the way you pulled it together! If you want to take the moisture out of your bathroom try moistaway...it's a little container that absorbs the moisture, it is a life saver.
