I am so jealous! Do you have a long torso? I'm wondering if that is the difference. I am a short-waisted rectangle which is a double whammy against this look. There is just no way. I'm loving it on you, however. Simply gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616698 Tue, 16 Feb 2016 14:42:06 +0000 Mirjana 1616698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Divine, love #1 and #9 especially . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616344 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 17:51:22 +0000 Anonymous 1616344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you, Natalie. The bag is Kate Spade and I love the color and size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616300 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 16:16:35 +0000 goldenpig 1616300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is perfect! You nailed the belted blazer and I love the red quilted purse. You do red white and black so well. Love that color combo especially with your gorgeous hair. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616222 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 13:43:43 +0000 Anonymous 1616222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rachylou, Diane and JJ, since I have no defined waist, I'm surprised that this belting can work for a rectangle shape. I find that it does detract from the apple tendencies. Your kind comments encourage me to continue belting.<br /> Sally and Shaz, I love the coated Rich and Skinny grey jeans in #7 for cold days as the coating cuts the winter winds. They also seem to stay pristine looking all day. This photo was taken late in the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616195 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 11:58:32 +0000 Jjsloane 1616195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 8 best (Plaid of course) but they all look nice. I just read an Instyle article on belting blazers so you are ahead of the trend and lucky to be able to sport it so flatteringly.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616192 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 11:50:48 +0000 shaz 1616192@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful in all your outfits. I have a pair of jeans of very similar color and cut to the pants you are wearing in number 7 but never figured out what to wear with then color wise but have found inspiration from how you put your outfit together </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616157 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 09:36:36 +0000 Anonymous 1616157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is my fave, but really all are fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616137 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 06:34:56 +0000 Sally 1616137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love number 7. Those pants are gorgeous and I like the cardigan and how you've put it all together.<br /> Also like the first belted skirt outfit. You look fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616133 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 06:01:54 +0000 rachylou 1616133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hearted this thread.

Thank you.<br /> Nebraskim, you are very kind. Thank you for your encouraging and helpful comments. I will keep the pieces in #9 and probably the sweater in #7 too. I really like the unusual print . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616110 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 03:20:50 +0000 Nebraskim 1616110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the long skinny belt in look 1. I've not looked for belts like that but I'm tempted now. I literally gasped at look 9. Super flattering. And I &nbsp;liked the floral sweater in look 7. A fresh fun take for a winter day.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616106 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 03:17:10 +0000 Jaime 1616106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in serious awe of #1.

Angie, I'm so glad that you approve of the belted frock outfit in #1 and the new pieces in #9.<br /> Brooklyn, thank you for commenting on #7. I am trying to decide whether or not to keep that cardigan.<br /> MsMaven, your comments are very helpful to me. The patterned skirt is a favorite find, my only DVF piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616040 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 00:16:26 +0000 MsMaven 1616040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I especially like #9. I'm not big on heart pendants or jewelry myself, but I do like yours--it's great. I love a black jacket with a patterned skirt, and the belt makes it extra special. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616035 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 00:06:01 +0000 Anonymous 1616035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to thank Smittie, Sterling, and&nbsp;Bettycrocker .&nbsp; your comments really help sort things out. Sterling, the cardigan in 7 and jacket in 8 are in your challenge category.&nbsp; The jacket will most probably go but I am still thinking about the cardigan.&nbsp; I like it for pattern mixing with black and white stripes or polkadots.&nbsp; It may get another day's trial.</p> <p>El Cee, a big&nbsp;thank you hug for your lovely words.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616033 Mon, 15 Feb 2016 00:04:05 +0000 Brooklyn 1616033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The belted looks are fantastic. You look smashing. I am loving no 7 too. The combo of red and grey is so vibrant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616031 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 23:56:05 +0000 Angie 1616031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You NAILED it in #1, you super cute gorgeous creature. Killer rendition. I love #9 too.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616024 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 23:30:16 +0000 El Cee 1616024@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You did a great job with both belted looks and I especially love #9 (so chic and elegant). I like the belts you've selected for each outfit… good choices. And I love your heart necklace. That it was something that your DH gave you makes it extra special. I also like both of your casual outfits. The plaid pants are fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616018 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 23:19:09 +0000 Anonymous 1616018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Crazyone, I did not have it with these jackets.&nbsp; The jacket with the skirt has only one button and the belt is very narrow.&nbsp; The jacket with the pants has no buttons, so that one is easy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616010 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 23:11:48 +0000 crazyone 1616010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both the belted looks! Do you have the same issue I did of the belt getting in the way of the buttons? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616007 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 23:07:39 +0000 Anonymous 1616007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love your outfits! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616006 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 23:05:50 +0000 Anonymous 1616006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy -- I think you look wonderful. &nbsp;I have this weird love of patterned bottoms. &nbsp;When I saw your pants in number 8, I fell instantly in love. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1616004 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 22:59:37 +0000 Anonymous 1616004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, I love all these looks. I think the belts are at the right place.<br />I think I prefer the footwear in 1 (with the bow) over the ones in 5.<br />7 is great.</p> <p>I love the look in 9. I think that's my favourite. The belt is fabulous and the blazer is the perfect length (not too long, at least to me).</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belting-fun-for-valentines-and-more#post-1615985 Sun, 14 Feb 2016 22:14:42 +0000 Anonymous 1615985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Other than go out to eat and to church, I did not dress up much, but wanted to share a few recent looks with Valentine's Day in mind and the belted blazer.<br /> The red jacket is a thrift store find and does not fit well, although it is boxy enough to fit over a sweater. It is on its way out. I don't think my footwear choices were good either, but I was tired of boots and booties and we have no snow. How did I do with the belting? Too high? Too much volume?<br /> The heart necklace is pretty but not really my taste. It was a gift from DH, so I'm wearing it.<br /> 7 and 8 were for casual. 8 is a new EF jacket and slim pants I think would be great for travel. I am trying to replace a very old EF jacket and pants. Should I keep these? Is the jacket too long? </p>
