Which belt for this outfit?

BlondeAmbition

This is an outfit I'm composing for an event this weekend. My belt is double sided, one side black the other side goldish. Which do you think looks best?

The blouse is quite sheer and I'm not sure if I should wear a black bra and cami or nude bra and cami. I must wear a cami through because I will be on stage and sheer tops don't do well under the lights.

Agree with Mochi, the black one looks better. The gold one becomes the focus of the outfit....with the black one the pattern at the top of the blouse become more of the focus which IMHO looks better.

Hmm..I like both but wonder if the gold will be better for on stage?

I like the black side better.

What color cami will be you wearing underneath the blouse?

Another vote for black belt.

I think a black cami would look streamlined and cope with stage light, but I have no experience so others chime in.

Prefer the black belt. The underpinning situation is a tough call, I don't love visible nude straps but the black really shows up. For the stage, I'd go with whatever is less distracting?
This outfit really flatters your figure, you look great!

Thanks all! I will be wearing a nude cami and bra. They are visible but only slightly. I'm so surprised everyone likes the black belt, I'm sort of leaning towards the gold because the black belt looks a little corporate to me. Doesn't the gold belt lighten the look a bit? Who know, I still have till tomorrow to decide.

The gold adds some lightness but because it's at the waist it diminishes the hourglass effect. Also the gold introduces a kind of gypsy costume element that I like less well than the slightly West Side Story vibe of the black.

It's difficult and I see why you hesitate! Is it a very formal event? Or is there room for fun and casualness?
My heart likes the gold better.
The black does look dressier.
Hmmm....

Thanks everyone, the black worked well for this event. Next time I will wear the gold side!
