I'm also wondering if the zebra belt would work as a substitute for the fabric belt in my denim trench coat. So many possibilities here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-requested-do-belts-work-on-me#post-55708 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 01:35:43 +0000 Angie 55708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up, Kari. A great look for you and well done! Your experiment was successful. Keep it up and incorporate belts into your look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-requested-do-belts-work-on-me#post-55699 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:53:16 +0000 marianne 55699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I think it's a great look for you, I esp. love the zebra belt with black and blue. Please keep! The only combination I am not sure about is the blue top by itself with a belt - it looks like the fabric is thin and flowy, and maybe that's why it doesn't look quite right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-requested-do-belts-work-on-me#post-55693 Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:39:44 +0000 Kristen 55693@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I pushed myself off the "belt cliff" by buying a couple of Target ones on super-clearance. At $2.98 a belt, I was willing to take a chance, you know? And it does look different without that lumpy clear plastic piece, trust me! Still, in fairness, it took trying it with a LOT of outfits -- and discarding the idea -- many times before I finally just kept it on. In no time, I've gotten used to the look and I like it a lot!</p> <p>And thanks! I actually just posted a bunch of new photos with that dress and different combos -- and belts came into play in many of the outfits. I think I'm hooked! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-requested-do-belts-work-on-me#post-55675 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:11:30 +0000 Kari 55675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How funny that we were looking at the same one! I don't usually wear orange or zebra-print but thought these might liven up some of my solid outfits. </p> <p>Kristen, I really liked the way you belted your cardigan over the AT Loft dress you posted recently. I'll keep trying, but I'll keep the tags on until I'm sure whether I like the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-requested-do-belts-work-on-me#post-55629 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 12:29:04 +0000 Kristen 55629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kari, I think you make a good point comparing the belted look over cardigans vs. blouses. I really like the belt/cardigan look on you, and as a fellow hourglass, I have the same problem liking it on me over just tops or button-downs. </p> <p>I also love that orange skinny belt; I was looking at the same one at Target yesterday. Instead I picked up a white patent, a red patent, and a cute blue multi-patterned skinny one. I haven't made the leap to the wider belts yet, just skinnies, but I like that look on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-requested-do-belts-work-on-me#post-55626 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 07:40:28 +0000 Kari 55626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, this is good - it sounds like I'm starting to get there.</p> <p>Cricket, the cardigans featured here are more fitted at the waist than the pink one I tried out last time, but the brown cardi shown in this post is exactly the same as the black and white print one. Maybe this look works better with a dark colored or solid cardigan? I'll have to keep trying.</p> <p>Mellllls and Becca, from these pictures I like the belted look better with cardigans too and less so over the fitted tops. In the mirror I felt like the look was smoother overall without cardigans on top, but when I looked at the pictures I thought the opposite. </p> <p>I'm also tempted to try the belts over button-down blouses and will keep playing tomorrow. Thanks to all of you for the encouragement. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-requested-do-belts-work-on-me#post-55618 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:36:22 +0000 Mellllls 55618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like how both look with the cardigans but not in the pictures without the cardigans. But I personally haven't figured out how to wear a belt so please don't take my opinion too seriously. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-requested-do-belts-work-on-me#post-55615 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 02:10:50 +0000 bella 55615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup, I like both of these belts over cardigans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-requested-do-belts-work-on-me#post-55610 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 01:51:34 +0000 Christie 55610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think your waist looks small and hourglassy with the belts. Nice!</p> <p>Maybe these tops are more fitted than the cardi in the previous photos? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/feedback-requested-do-belts-work-on-me#post-55607 Sun, 22 Mar 2009 00:29:28 +0000 Kari 55607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As a follow-up to my belt-over-cardigan experiments from this post: <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/closet-cleanout-part-2-cardigans-shoes-038-belted-experiments?replies=17" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....replies=17</a></p> <p>Before I give up on belts altogether I thought I'd try experimenting with a couple of funky belts that were ridiculously cheap at Target. Please let me know honestly if this isn't flattering. If I shouldn't bother trying this look, I'm not out any money as long as I keep the tags on &#38; return them.</p> <p>(Apologies for the plastic tags and the blurry mirror shots.)</p> <p>Orange with faux-snakeskin pattern (it also comes in cream):<br /> <a href="http://karip.smugmug.com/photos/495973702_UxAyA-L.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://karip.smugmug.com/photo.....xAyA-L.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://karip.smugmug.com/photos/495973735_WHBZk-XL.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://karip.smugmug.com/photo.....BZk-XL.jpg</a></p> <p>Zebra print faux-pony hair:<br /> <a href="http://karip.smugmug.com/photos/495973758_2wd8q-L.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://karip.smugmug.com/photo.....wd8q-L.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://karip.smugmug.com/photos/495973812_YAFbc-L.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://karip.smugmug.com/photo.....AFbc-L.jpg</a><br /> <a href="http://karip.smugmug.com/photos/495973781_UzB7V-L.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://karip.smugmug.com/photo.....zB7V-L.jpg</a> </p>
