{Dress: Forever 21, Cardigan: Boutique in Cali, Belt & Tights: Limited, Necklace: H&M}
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.
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? :)

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.

You look so very cute! I love the color of the dress & your hair is gorgeous! I think you made a good choice with the belt! ;)
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteCUTE outfit! and your hair looks so good, too!
ReplyDeleteThis cracked me up, because I always get sweaty when I'm flustered too. I love how the outfit turned out though!
ReplyDeleteOH! You look so pretty ♥
ReplyDeleteI 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!

This dress looks great on you. And I really like your hair!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI 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.
