lwc breaks the belt rule...in lime green

lwc

Technically, belts and tucking are no-no's for me. I'm very short-waisted with long legs. So, I tried a thin belt in lime for a pop of color in my outfit for church today. Here goes...

I still want a bright yellow clutch. The search continues...

I think you look great. You don't look short-waisted to me. I like the pop of color.

Iwc, the belt looks great! You don't seem that short-waisted to me - you look like you have several inches of "waist" in there. In my case, I am boobs, ribs, about an inch or possible two of "waist" and then hips. There's hardly enough space to put in a belt!

I love how you're popped your collar on your white shirt too - you definitely are channeling Angie in this outfit!

Your belt looks great! I think that I have the same one, is it Jcrew? How do you know you are short waisted? It does not look like that to me

I'm not sure why you have a no belt rule. That outfit is amazing. I love it.

You look great, so simple and elegant! I think my proportions are similar (although my build isn't as delicate), so I know what you mean about belts. It's the only type of belt that I actually feel OK about on myself, and the top has to be long enough - your shirt works perfectly.

You look wonderful, and I don't think you're short waisted--what makes you think that?

I might steal this outfit idea for church this weekend myself.

You look wonderful. A yellow clutch will be very nice with this outfit. You should wear belts often, they look like they were made for you.

Thanks so much, ladies!

I know that I'm short waisted because I can only squeeze 3 fingers max between my ribs and my hipbone. So, that's a little less than 2 inches...Dang!!!

My legs are very long, in relation to my body. I have a 33.5 inch inseam.

So...if you think that I have a longer torso than I actually do, then I have successfully created the illusion of a more balanced body. Cool!

I think that I will include a couple more belts in my accessories arsenal. But I'm thinking that I should keep the width to 1.5" or less, so that I don't take away valuable "real estate" from my torso area. LOL.

Thanks again! I can't wait to try more looks, and to see more of yours!

Hello everyone! (This is Angie signed in as "Greg").

You look fabulous lwc! I'm a little dense today (too much fresh Sea of Gallilee air). Why are you challenging me in this outfit? You've elongated your look and added a belt. LOVE!
