For some reason I was expecting more people to go for the second one, not sure why. It's lovely in person but I agree that the first one gives more textural interest, especially with an all-black outfit.</p> <p>Rute, thanks so much for your thoughts, but I think I'm sticking with the black dress. I totally get that it won't be everyone's cup of tea, but I love it. It's much nicer in person, and I think the crowd at this wedding will appreciate the retro-fabness of it ;)</p> <p>Angie, I did see your posts! I was letting myself have an hour every few days to browse my "usual" blogs and sites, just no commenting or mindless internet-exploration! (I swear, blogs can be so addictive!) It looks like you and Greg had a great time in SA- your photos are lovely!</p> <p>Hmm, not going so well with the accessories hunt so far. No luck with a necklace yet, but I think I'll tackle that last. Next on my list is a bright oversized clutch. Maybe I'll round some up online and post them here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-help-me-choose-a-belt#post-90459 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 21:41:55 +0000 medusa 90459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liked the first belt as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-help-me-choose-a-belt#post-90445 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 20:38:17 +0000 Inge 90445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep, another vote for the first belt. I love that it adds some extra textural interest to the outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-help-me-choose-a-belt#post-90355 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 16:00:48 +0000 Angie 90355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great to have you back, Ele! I’ve missed you too. Nice that you had a break though - I had a two week break in South Africa recently as well. (Perhaps you saw the posts last week?).</p> <p>LOVE the first belt. That gets my vote. How are doing with accessories? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-help-me-choose-a-belt#post-90326 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 11:19:22 +0000 rute 90326@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Welcome back!</p> <p>The dress is lovely and I prefer the first belt, both belts are dark and so, as this one has a different texture it would pop..</p> <p>However I would choose a different dress, maybe </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/3052954/0~2376779~6008000~6006949?mediumthumbnail=Y&#038;origin=category&#038;searchtype=&#038;pbo=6006949&#038;P=1" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/30.....9&#038;P=1</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10001_17760_849340_-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.debenhams.com/webap....._849340_-1</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/im-back-help-me-choose-a-belt#post-90321 Tue, 01 Sep 2009 08:32:29 +0000 Ele 90321@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good morning, lovely YLF ladies! Some of you might have noticed I've been absent from the forums for the past month. I wasn't traveling or anything, but on a self-imposed "internet break" for most of August. Other than keeping up with my own three blogs, I spent very little time online, focusing instead on some other things I've got going on. </p> <p>So, I'm very happy to be back (I missed you all!) and I've got a question for you. Back when I bought <a href="http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu140/EleYLF/black%20whistles%20dress/dressfront.jpg">this dress</a> for my friend's wedding in October, Angie suggested I find a skinny vintage belt to wear with it. I loved the idea so have been on the hunt, but with minimal success so far. The actual vintage ones don't seem to work very well, and I haven't found one that fits in terms of size, price and style yet. On top of that I'd quite like a patent version to add some shine and match my shoes, and I'm finding it difficult to find vintage patent in good condition. </p> <p>BUT, I was in town yesterday and found two options on the high street: </p> <p>First, <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=18184&#38;vid=1&#38;pid=671161&#38;scid=671161012">this Banana Republic style</a>. I think the bit with metal post is actually the front, but I'd wear it the other way around, with the knot-thing at the front. I like the embossed texture of this one, and it has a vintage-y "feel", at least. </p> <p>The other option is <a href="http://www.tedbaker.com/shop.do?cID=608&#38;pID=6401">this Ted Baker belt</a>. Much more modern, this one would give a different feel to the dress, but I still like it. </p> <p>So, what's your vote? Are either of these winners, or would you keep looking? </p>
