We had an ATX Ladies who Lunch Lunch today, so I got a real-life action shot of my outfit today:
I’m wearing a denim dress from the Gap, belt from the Gap, and Sportmax clogs. As a side note, I think I need a more narrow belt – especially for this dress. Not a skinny belt, just maybe a 1″ wide belt – I think it would look better than this wide belt with this dress, and maybe some others that I have. I’m still not good with belts; even though I’m acquiring more (I have 3 now!!), I don’t always remember to wear them, and sometimes I put them on, and take them off again, thinking they’re too much for the outfit. That’s my problem with accessorizing, I don’t know where the balance is…
And can I just say that while the day started out very nice (in the low 60’s), it got up to 90 today. So I was HOT in this dress. Very hot indeed.
No, the belt is perfect! And it makes the outfit. I don’t think you want anything skinnier. Somehow that size belt (and the color is a great contrast) anchors that dress.
I think that is the best denim dress ever. It looks great on you!
Also – I find myself using belts ALL the time lately. I have acquired quite a few. However, I’m with you on the accessorizing thing because I don’t have a problem adding a belt but then I feel like I can’t add ANYTHING else (say, for example, earrings) to my outfit or else I feel way too made up. I think it’s all about a comfortable balance – You just have to feel comfortable with what you are wearing. If you feel like it’s too much, then maybe it’s too much for you, ya know? Either way, I love this belt with this dress but I think a skinny belt would look good too and change the look up.
I’d have to say I like the belt, too. Great size. I don’t know how you can stand it in the heat and still look good!! I’d look like a limp dishrag…
That dress looks so great on you!
