When in doubt, belt it out.


Sweater: H&M
Shirt: maurices
Jeans: Citizens of Humanity
Bag: maurices
Shoes: maurices

Not everyone can belt a sweater. Honestly, I probably could have done without all the extra fluff today too. But, I fell in love with this adorable number at H&M the other day and I had to have it. It didn't look great without a belt and I had the perfect belt for the outfit so I managed to create a look that is SO me and so comfy. If you've never "belted" an outfit before, start with a chunky belt and start lower around your waist than higher. Experiment. Belts don't work for everyone but when you figure it out I guarantee you'll want become a collector (ie: hoarder).

Happy Belt shopping.
Love,
Virg

PS: Sorry about the photos, and the trashcan opt-in. At 10 pm at night, it's nearly an impossibility to find a good place to take a pic.

  4. Maria! Thanks for checking out my blog. I've been stalking yours forever!! HA! I am a stalker by nature, it appears. You are regularly in my thoughts and prayers. So glad you stopped by. Thanks for the comments. My "great" jeans are my most expensive piece of apparel. I am obsessed with denim and about a year and a half ago I got in the best shape of my life and rewarded myself with them. NOW, I can hardly squeeze my cheeks in them but the long sweater helped. Thanks so much for your compliments!! It's so nice that you stopped by :)
