Sometimes a simple thing like a belt can just make an entire outfit come together. You really can’t see it all that well in these pictures, but in real life the belt makes all of the difference in this outfit. With the belt it just looks polished and without the belt it looks really sloppy. I often thought that a belt would make me look more overweight, but actually the opposite is true! As well, without the belt you see fold lines where I tucked the tank top into my skirt, but with the wide belt it totally covers all of that.
I told Jules how bad the outfit looked when I had tried it all on without the belt and she scoffed and that. So after taking my pictures for this post and having removed the belt for the last few shots, I came in and showed her and she was amazed at how bad the outfit looked without it. I then untucked the tank and she agreed that all that did was make it look worse!
Another thing that Jules said to me about this outfit is that she thought this was the best that this purple top has looked. Which is nice because I have struggled to have a good looking outfit with this top. I totally love it; the color is to die for! But it has not always looked very good. Tops like this used to be a mainstay of my outfits, but as of late, I do not wear many button down tops. They have a really big tendency of making me look a bit less feminine so I have begun to avoid them. But when I saw this top in WHBM I loved the color and had to have it! So I am happy that myself and my wife thought it looked good here.
So? What is your opinion? Belt or no belt? I would love to hear your thoughts on belts!
Love you!
