I like #3, but it you watn color on the first two, then #1<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907766 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:52:45 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 907766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think a floral belt with a solid outfit would look cool and very current. It is the kind of thing that depending on the print would date quite quickly, though, so it's not something I would spend $$ on myself. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907738 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:11:15 +0000 Hil 907738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love #1 as a basic belt to have and #3 is just too cool! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907735 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 19:01:58 +0000 Suz 907735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, it's a gorgeous belt! I would love one, too!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907729 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 18:53:09 +0000 Mia 907729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a couple of Paul Smith items, shoes and scarf. &nbsp;I never had any post purchase&nbsp;regrets. &nbsp;If you do not have a black belt probably get one of those as well. &nbsp;I agree that quality is worth it here.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907719 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 18:44:55 +0000 Liz A. 907719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This is easy. Get both. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907715 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 18:42:18 +0000 Spiffy 907715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you all for your great advice! <br /><br />Lyn*, the belt is by <a href="http://www.paulsmith.co.uk/us-en/shop/womens/accessories/belts/womens-hazy-pansies-print-jeans-belt.html" rel="nofollow">Paul Smith&nbsp; </a>so it wouldn't&nbsp;DEF be a splurge but I'm a huge stickler about quality with any leather goods.&nbsp;A belt is an item the cost per wear will get low on especially as I don't own any right now. <br /><br /><br />Sveta and Day Vies, I almost only wear solid tops. I have two&nbsp;print shirts&nbsp;both of which and very clean, geometric patterns in white, black and grey so I think they'd look nice with the belt. <br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907645 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:43:01 +0000 CocoLion 907645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Go for it! I too am on team low contrast but I love the floral belt, it's a great way to experiment with the floral&nbsp;trend AND more contrast at the same time. &nbsp;If you are concerned the belt slices you in half (that's often my visual concern), you could try a semi tuck so just 1/3 or 1/2 of the belt shows. &nbsp;The semi tuck is better at preserving a column of color look. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907643 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:40:16 +0000 DonnaF 907643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, yes, yes to #3!&nbsp; Also, a leopard belt would be a nice neutral.&nbsp; If your bottoms are for ultra conservative corporate work wear, I would also suggest black in a reptile texture.&nbsp; FWIW, I have mostly dark bottoms and due to short legs would not want a high contrast belt, but I find that I rarely wear my black ones.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907633 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:33:33 +0000 Anonymous 907633@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ 3 is definitely lovely. I love pansy flowers and the subtle dark shades would probably work well with your low contrast colour columns. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907631 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:30:53 +0000 Day Vies 907631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Absolutely #3 is a great choice. It can be limiting like Sveta said but then I am sure you are going to have more than one belt. I love patterned belts and the first person I saw make a compelling display of a patterned belt is Angie. ( See some of her old outfit posts from last summer.) I lean towards belts that are solid bright colors (fearful of pattern and trying to break the habit). <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907624 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:23:20 +0000 Sveta 907624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Patterned belts do add interest but they also can be limiting to what you can wear them with. It all depends on your current tops: if they are mostly solid than this belt would work great. It can also play well with simple geometric patterns as well. Have fun! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907618 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:12:43 +0000 DeniseP 907618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pic 3 is a great way to introduce patterns and color into your outfit! I would wear it with cream color jeans, too! Nice selection.<br /> BTW...I LOVE pansies.(or at least, they kinda look like the ones in my yard) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907616 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:09:30 +0000 jayne 907616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ oh absolutely. perfect for your target colors and a belt adds such polish to an outfit! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907606 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:04:07 +0000 lyn* 907606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think #3 would be a lovely way to add visual interest! I don't think they go too far beyond your low-contrast/column of colour team, because there are tons of colours that you can pick out from the pretty pattern. It would look absolutely divine with navy, grey and dark green...<br /><br />... actually, do you mind sharing the source? I kinda want one :p https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belt-help-please#post-907604 Sun, 14 Apr 2013 17:02:35 +0000 Spiffy 907604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I need a belt for functional reasons ( avoid saggy butt) and because I'm drawn to photos of women wearing them casually as they seem to help finish an outfit. I'm on team low-contrast/column of color so my instinct is to get a black belt because I all my bottoms are black and dark blue #1 But I also wonder if it wouldn't be nice and add some visual interest to have a still low but slightly higher contrast belt #3 I also have wondered if this isn't an opportunity to introduce an interesting but low contrast pattern into my mix. I love this dark floral and think it would tie in the other colors I wear (navy, grey, dark green mostly) #3 Your thoughts? Thanks!
