Thank you all for the compliments. I actually had a lot of fun with this outfit.
Claire: Ha! You totally made my day with the paparazzi comment. I wish. Thank you. Anyhow, yes, I was not sure i was pulling it off either. I appear to be too prim and proper but who knew? I do edit my outfits a lot before I leave my house, to take unecessary detail off. Perhaps it shows more here. Can I call that restrained?
Rae, I don't wear belts all the time, because I like necklaces a lot. Sometimes it feels like too much to have the belt buckle and a necklace together, too much adornement, but yes, you should give the empty belt loop a try.
Deborah, No, these are some old Converse, of the flat variety. I think they are about 6-7 years old. I do have wedge sneakers but they are black suede.
