Straw Belt Experiment: Hitch it or ditch it?

Great. Love it over the white shirt and knitted top, not keen on the them tucked in with the belt.
Great over the dress at your natural waist though i feel it's a bit too high under the bust x

I think it is best at natural waist (although a belt with less contrast to the dress might work under the bust?) and I like it with the button down tucked in but not with the knit top tucked in.

It might have something to do with the color of belt and top - the white top works for me with belt but the knit does not.
Otherwise, I like you in a belt with the untucked tops.

Hopefully that helps - seems confusing now that I look at it

You wear a belt well. I like it both ways with the shirt, but untucked looks more stylish.
Natural waist with the dress. I suspect a narrow belt would work worn higher but that this one is too wide.
I like the belt both ways with the knit top, depending on the look you are after.

Thanks girls!

What's a funky basket bag? Got links?

I have an Indonesian ata purse. It looks exactly like this one:

I think that I like the belt worn over the button down (untucked) and over the jersey dress (at natural waist).

My favorite looks are over the untucked button down and over the dress at the natural waist (same as what you like). For some reason, the belt doesn't work with the knit top as well for me. The belt is definitely a keeper! I like the wider width on you.

Hitch.

You'll get a lot of use out of that belt in Phoenix. Nice choice!

They have a lot of global vibe pieces, and they can do custom sizing and alterations- pretty neat!

Lesley, you look great! I love the way you styled the belt. The white button-down is my favorite a swell.

You rock the belt look Lesley, wow! The only two I'm not so fond of are 4 and 6, but even those will work if you try them with another belt I think (maybe a skinny belt in a fun colour?).

And what a fantastic bag!
