In The Groove


When I started blogging, SheilaSuzanne and others gave me the same advice over and over again -- "Put a belt on it," they said. Honestly, this was good advice and eventually I learned to accept its wisdom. Belts define a waist (which is important for me) and create an illusion of curves (equally vital). I discovered belts give my outfits a more feminine appearance.

While browsing a vintage store, I found an authentic belt from the Sixties. I love its shape and color. What do you think?

How often do you wear belts?

  1. Oh, thank you for the shout-out, hon! I LOVE this groovy belt - it looks amazing with this dress, and look how tiny your waist looks!

    I wear belts as the outfit calls for it, and I have all kinds of different types: hip belts, chain belts, obis, thick/mid/thin, solid copper!

  2. What a groovy belt you've found, Ally! It looks wonderful wit the dress and yellow opaques. I'm a big fan of belts and hardly a day goes by when I don't wear one. I've got boxes full of them! xxx
