The Power of Accessories: Belts
I am completely obsessed with accessories and how they can transform and personalize any outfit. I have always said that even if everyone in the works had to dress in exactly the same clothes we would all still look different because of how we style them.
  
belts  
  
Here are two real life examples of how helpful belts can be when worn for fashion and not just function: 

Fashionista A bought this dress because she loved the color but wasn't crazy about the fit. For this reason she never wore it, but she kept it because she felt like it somehow had potential. Well she was right! After seeing it on her I realized that the issue- the belt! The "belt" that came with it was really just a string and the belt loops were not situated in the right place for her frame. But a nice wide elastic waist belt that can be worn in any position (in this case the belt was better suited higher up, closer to her ribs) adds instant shape and color while dressing up her overall look! Top if off with a color pop statement necklace and a nude shoe to elongate her legs and she's got a "brand new" dress!

 

before and after 

 

Fashionista B purchased this sweater dress with the belt. The belt is cute and dresses up the look but wasn't necessarily the vibe she was going for. She wanted a more casual bohemian feel, so a wooden and beaded belt worn low and rugged boots gave her just that! Bonus: notice how tall she looks in the "after" and she's not even wearing heels? It is because of the position of the belt


Before and After 

 

Do you find that you want to achieve a similar look with one of your own belts but you are not sure how? Closet Analysis to the rescue! I will show you exactly what items to wear together, what to pair them with, and how to "save" your clothes with simple fixes like belt color and placement!
