Kristen outfits 1/10-16: Belts!

By complete coincidence I ended up wearing a belted outfit every day of the week but one. Guess I will need to shake it up this week!

Sunday and Monday: On my casual day I tried the belted scarf look, with an olive ribebed sweater, a black-and-grey checked scarf and a black turtleneck and belt. And another of my Hubby's hats. Monday I paired mustard with various shades of gray for something new.

Tuesday: the only beltless day. Went with a empire-waist cute dress and grandpa cardigan, but I had fun mixing olive green and tomato red.

Wednesday: George!!!!! Okay, and I am in there too. This was a dressier version of my usual wear; the purple AT boyfriend cardigan with a grey short-sleeved turtleneck, worn with a wide patent belt high on my waist with a black pebbled Forth & Towne suit skirt. The tights and shoes were the highlight of the outfit, imo. And George agreed!

Thursday: my most favorite outfit of the week, but George steals the show again. My new BR Outlet sweater dress, a Lands End turtleneck in "spiced rhubarb" pink, and a new brown belt with my brown Franco Sarto riding boots and a single pair of brown-black patterned hose. (It got up to 40s so I didn't have to double-layer.)

Friday: The punch of bright blue from the cami makes this one work. I haven't worn this striped Loft sweater in ages, but I've missed it. Oooh la la!

I mean, I like belts, but I think I went overboard this week!

Kristen, this week is too much for me. Every day is so fab, I don't know what to say.

The colors on Monday are great. You do look very good in pants, you know.

I'm with all the other women about the tights on Wednesday. They are great!

Friday is just stunning. The tights, the shoes, the sweater, the blue top peeking out - I love it all.

And George is too cute! I love seeing him in the photos.

Gergeous as always!
That grey and yellow outfit is amazing! Great color on you!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I've only started wearing belts because of you. Maybe scarves will be next! I share your passion for tights, but have not layered them as you do so well. I agree with you on your favorite outfit pick. It just all works, but I especially love the spiced rhubarb color on you. Cobalt blue, too. Thanks for inspiring us with your creative combos.

All I can say is, it must just be so much fun to work with you and come in to see what Kristen is wearing today!! You're just too cute, and all of your outfits are fun!
I like the belted scarf! I like the hat too!

These all look so great - but my favourite is the first, it's just so cheeky and cute. Your kitty is adorable too!

Kristen, I absolutely adore all your colorful outfits but I have a soft spot for blue on you. It just looks so uniquely wonderful on you.
I've been trying unsuccessfully so far to do the whole belt+scarf thing. All the pictures I've seen so far have been of relatively (compared to me) much smaller chested women. I'm taking notes on you outfit because you make it look fab
And the winner of the set is the picture of George with your gorgeous tights and booties. I love it!

Such fun! I like Thursday's outfit best too, but you in a newsboy hat is a KILLER thing :0)

When belts look this fabulous on you I would not worry about wearing them often. I also love the Thursday outfit, the pop of colour looks fantastic and you are definitely the queen of layered tights.

Louise

All so fabtastic i can't pick a favourite x

Laura

Dying over Tuesday's Max Studio dress! Never seen that one before? It is just fantastic on you. And the tights combo on Wednesday is superb. Layering!! You do look great in a newsboy cap. You need to wear that every weekend. It suits your personality SO well.

Kristen

Laura, that dress has been around for a while, but I try not to wear it every week like I want to. Hee, you, Angie and Hubby are all pro-hat! I am too, luckily.

I'm so amazed the cobalt blue was such a hit; I've had the cami for a while but I always pass it over for other colors. Guess I should pick it more often, hunh?

You guys are all so sweet. The encouragement here really pushes me to try new things, and that keeps it all so interesting and fun!

I like Thursday best too! Love that red turtleneck on you. Do you wear much red? I'm not recalling seeing you in much red.

All your outfits are amazing, Kristen! I especially love Thursday; your figure looks awesome in that dress And way to rock a turtle-neck! I'm always terrified that they make my neck look short. That, and I tend to feel a bit strangled, haha.

Kristen I envy how amazing you look in belts! Your waist is so teeny tiny! I lilke both the casual and the dressier looks. Simply can't pick a fave!

Queenie, I have a few red pieces but I don't wear it a lot; red is a hard color for me, the wrong shade can make me look splotchy.

Alex, I went a long period without wearing turtlenecks but now that I am older and my neck is starting to go I am finding them to be a godsend!

Tam, the teeny waist is all an illusion, thanks to the belts. LOL!
