Both dresses look fab unbelted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-a-belt#post-121185 Fri, 29 Jan 2010 02:09:28 +0000 Krystle-Ashley 121185@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I love the necklace!! In response to your "belt-phobia," I totally get it. I love you in both dresses, and I'm gonna have to say that I'd prefer a belt on the first dress (which you look lovely in, by the way) and leave the second dress as is!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-a-belt#post-121073 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 17:35:36 +0000 Angie 121073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aha! Fi! There we go. I love the name Fi :0)</p> <p>It's so nice to see you have fun with skirts and frocks, Fi. And I'm enjoying seeing you rock your stuff on this forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-a-belt#post-120983 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 07:42:51 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 120983@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for commenting. It is really strange how different you see yourself in the mirror to how you look in photos.</p> <p>Queenie - yes I have lived in London for almost 4 years now - a long time away from home in New Zealand!</p> <p>Angie - don't worry about forgetting my name - I am impressed with how many you remember! It is Fiona, but I normally use the nickname Fi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-a-belt#post-120878 Thu, 28 Jan 2010 00:47:46 +0000 Angie 120878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LK - I've forgotten your name. Sorry! </p> <p>I'm with Taylor all the way. Love both these looks un-belted. Very sweet necklace too. You are adorable :0) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-a-belt#post-120830 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:03:25 +0000 taylor 120830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually love them unbelted on you") The second outfit is really flattering on you I think...I would keep it:) We will see what Angie has to say:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-a-belt#post-120829 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 22:02:10 +0000 Queen Mum 120829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi londonkiwi,<br /> (do you live in london?)</p> <p>anyway, that gap dress is really cute on you and I can see it with a belt. Do you have a belt that you can try it with and post a pic? Or even throw on one of hubby's belts to get an idea of how it might look....</p> <p>The H&amp;M dress is really nice on you too. I don't see a problem with the neckline- I like the necklace you have, but a longer one would look really nice too and probaby give the whole outfit a bit of oomph. This one I"m not sure needs a belt- especially since you want to wear a necklace with it-- a belt AND a necklace could be a bit cluttered. I like the way you styled it with the cardi too.</p> <p>I love your soft curls! You are very pretty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/do-i-need-a-belt#post-120812 Wed, 27 Jan 2010 21:20:10 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 120812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Up until now I have been slightly belt phobic. I am really short waisted and I also have a wide rib cage. On top of that I have an extra bit of cartledge (sp?) on my ribs which sticks out. All of this and the fact that I was quite a bit overweight until a couple of months ago made belts very uncomfortable with anything other than jeans.</p> <p>But I have worn two outfits over the last few days that I think may be able to benefit from a belt (or at least I need to style differently).</p> <p>The first is this - Gap dress same as Julie's one - <a href="http://flickr.com/gp/7523171@N07/po2r06" rel="nofollow">http://flickr.com/gp/7523171@N07/po2r06</a></p> <p>The second is this H&amp;M dress. Really, the neckline is probably not the best - I thought that the necklace might be long enough to help with that problem, but I think looking at the photo that I need a scarf or a cardigan or jacket buttoned to create a 'V'. </p> <p>Dress - <a href="http://flickr.com/gp/7523171@N07/9w5bC8" rel="nofollow">http://flickr.com/gp/7523171@N07/9w5bC8</a><br /> Necklace - <a href="http://flickr.com/gp/7523171@N07/86SgHD" rel="nofollow">http://flickr.com/gp/7523171@N07/86SgHD</a></p> <p>The dress fits perfectly, but it was cheap enough that if I can find a dress with a v neckline I don't mind replacing it. I haven't succeeded yet though! </p>
