Pull Your Look Together with Only One Item

While running some errands about town with my classically stylish friend, aka LB, I was trying to pinpoint what about her look made her so polished. There are probably many things I could pick out, but one that I immediately zoned in on was her belt. As I had been looking for a small change to my daily style, (some recent flips through style magazines at the bookstore and some window-shopping hadn’t done it), I gravitated to this small belt added at the waist, a classic. So, I tried it – a thin belt at my natural waist and decided this was it, the skinny belt.

This one item can pull it all together (stylishly and of course, at our core). Adding a skinny belt gives your look texture, a waistline and a splash of color.

You can add the skinny belt with so many items in your wardrobe: sweaters, blouses, tailored shirts, dresses, and tunics, even coats.

I have found that wearing it high on my natural waist looks and feels better, even though I am so used to wearing low rise or lower waisted jeans and pants. It keeps the torso streamlined.

Best part is, you can find them at any price point in so many places. I found J.Crew sells them for a bargain price in multiple colors. This is my new addition to my spring wardrobe…a couple of belts in great colors to jazz up the sweaters I will be recycling this season.

J. Crew has a great selection for spring in a multitude of colors.
