It won't work for this belt as the leather is pretty thick and studded on top, but I will keep my eyes open for a longer belt to try this out (maybe a thrifted one). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-with-a-belt#post-337103 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 14:32:34 +0000 Anonymous 337103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Better with the belt. If you like low slung belting, also try Angie's shortening trick with a long belt.<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/2008/09/08/the-skinny-belt-shortening-trick/" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/2008/09/.....ing-trick/</a><br /> While it isn't low slung, I find that the diagonal line of the extra belting across my tummy is often better than a straight horizontal line and distracts from fullness there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-with-a-belt#post-337009 Fri, 22 Apr 2011 05:59:02 +0000 HeleenH 337009@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at the small version of the picture the day after, I think I know why the belt works. It lifts the attention up, distracting from the wider area below. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-with-a-belt#post-336707 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 21:53:08 +0000 Debora 336707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for the belt! Love the low-slung belt look on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-with-a-belt#post-336573 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 16:29:20 +0000 nancylee 336573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The belt looks great! I'm belt-phobic myself, but sometimes I wear a low-slung belt like this. Congrats on trying a new look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-with-a-belt#post-336536 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 15:02:20 +0000 rae 336536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love belts, and yours is fun! Belts are one of my fave accessories, as I'm not a huge fan of statement jewelry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-with-a-belt#post-336524 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:52:16 +0000 HeleenH 336524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie! I like it better with the belt, too. Much to my surprise! I learnt something today by experimenting with an idea I got here at YLF.<br /> I slung it low on purpose, because I think if I wear it 'fitted' it will accentuate the bits of tummy I would like to de-emphasize. Hm, is that the correct word? Well, I am sure you get the idea! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-with-a-belt#post-336521 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:46:17 +0000 Angie 336521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweet belt! I like the way you slung it low in front. I like the outfit with the belt more. And you? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/experiment-with-a-belt#post-336505 Thu, 21 Apr 2011 14:10:26 +0000 HeleenH 336505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I went shopping (see 'shopping') and one of the items I bought is a belt. I tried it on what I wore today. The price tag is still on the belt Which one do you like better, the belted one or the non-belted one? (in hindsight I wish I had re-attached my camera to the tripod, lighting conditions outside are much better than inside). </p>
