Just this morning I was thinking I need some new belts, particularly colors and patterns! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671765 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 07:19:46 +0000 ramya 671765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well i need one on my jeans always but on dresses.... as soon as I find something fab here </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671749 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 06:54:42 +0000 jayne 671749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yes. Belts really finish off an outfit for me. I struggled with belts before the big wide ones came so into fashion, because thin belts don't suit my shape. But now I love the wide belt to piff a dress, control a puffy blouse, finish a a boring outfit, tie colors together! And other accessories too are finally getting proper attention....oo off to read the blog post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671748 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 06:46:53 +0000 ManidipaM 671748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I'm certainly a new convert this year! I started the year with ONE belt which I hardly ever wore (the same one in yesterday's triple-floral outfit) --- and I now have FIVE, and am looking for a couple more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671610 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 03:52:20 +0000 Isabel 671610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am starting to belt my pants and shorts. My weight/bloating is just fluctuating so much that there are days that I have no other choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671607 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 03:50:34 +0000 Nadya 671607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such timing! Today I swapped out the self-tie on a black fit and flare dress and subbed a thin red belt. I like the pop of color and the leather added a bit of toughness vs. the sash tied in a bow.</p> <p>I'm wishing for more thin belts - one in a hot color (orange, pink or lime) and another in leopard. I totally agree I'll be wearing a belt more..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671542 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 02:33:38 +0000 sarah 671542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm a big belt wearer already, so I guess I'll be wearing them even more! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671474 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 01:21:58 +0000 Jamie 671474@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah, count me in! I've been snapping up belts lately when I see them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671465 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 01:17:50 +0000 Aziraphale 671465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, as usual you're on the money, Angie. Over the past three months I've purchased three super skinny leather belts -- one black, one tan, and one blond -- and I've been giving them a whirl. I discovered that sometimes they look good right smack dab on my waist -- especially if I belt over an untucked, tailored shirt and pencil skirt. The stiffer woven material of the shirt flares out over my hips, giving the impression that I have both a smaller waist and fuller hips than I actually do. The skinny belts also look pretty good slung low on my hips with a fitted jersey knit top and A-line skirt, or even through the belt loops of jeans that fit across my hips, and then I semi tuck my top so at least the front or side part of the belt is visible. I even have one wider, stretchy black belt that works on my natural waist, as long as I wear it over a dress the same colour.</p> <p>And I used to be totally convinced that belts don't work on my bod, especially on my natural waist, before YLF. Thanks Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671452 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 01:11:25 +0000 Jonesy 671452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do love the look of a belt peeking out of a semi-tuck :), so I am on board with that for sure! That snakeskin cummerbund is gorgeous, though I rarely belt at my waist so I'm afraid I wouldn't get much use out of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671435 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 00:58:02 +0000 D'Ellen 671435@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love belts and they have long been an integral part of my wardrobe. (My DH once informed me I had 40+ belts. He had knocked my belt hanger off the hook and counted the belts as he picked them up off the floor.) But, sadly, with weight gain and post-menopausal body shift it's becoming very difficult for me to wear belts. I no longer tuck, and while I love belts worn over tops, they now seem to emphasize my apple shape and sway back rather than giving waist definition to my used-to-be-rectangular shape. But I'll still enjoy seeing what you have in store for us, Angie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671426 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 00:52:25 +0000 Aida 671426@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Team Belt checking in, and excited to add some more fab belts to my collection I want, like, every belt in your post from today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671407 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 00:38:12 +0000 marianna 671407@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Everyone except me! I still believe my shape doesn't benefit from belts (nor tucking into trousers). I shall live happily belt-free. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671404 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 00:32:40 +0000 qpswan 671404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have started going to the gym again to get back my belt body. </p> <p>I have up-dated my belt wardrobe by adding an adjustable zebra print, a skinny black patent bow and a wider reptile print.</p> <p>I store my belts curled up in baskets but there must be a better way. How do you store your belts? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671301 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 22:07:42 +0000 Angie 671301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mo, Rae, Diana and Sammi are onto the reasons why I think you'll all be wearing belts more frequently.</p> <p>(I love to tuck in my tops so I've been a belt wearer for years). </p> <p>Hugs, Mary :)</p> <p>Debbie, I answered your question on the blog post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671296 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 22:01:07 +0000 Anonymous 671296@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been leaving off my belts for the last year or so (with a few exceptions) so I think belting could feel fresh again! I hope you're right!</p> <p>Plus it may be necessary with all the baggy jeans and oversized silhouettes we're starting to see </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671287 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:56:29 +0000 MsMary 671287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh my gosh, I am so in! The ones you've picked are beauties, Angie!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671284 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:55:01 +0000 Debbie 671284@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is funny as I was just going to ask a belt related question. Off to read and post. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671276 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:52:11 +0000 rae 671276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just one more thing to love about the coming season - I have quite a large belt collection and feel odd without a belt. These days I even feel odd when the pants *don't* have belt loops. Off to drool over your lovely belt picks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671275 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:51:55 +0000 Diana 671275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I DO already wear belts all the time, but most of mine are meant to be worn with skirts or over dresses/long tops, so I actually find myself in need of a belt to wear with those new, super hipslung jeans I just acquired (they're low enough that I need to buy a larger size belt!). I didn't usually tend to tuck into pants, but with all the new, looser, slouchier silhouettes, I think a tuck or semi-tuck works well, which means I need a belt for aesthetic as well as pants-holding-up purposes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671273 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:50:50 +0000 nancylee 671273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, Angie. In fact, I recently purchased two new belts (an obi and a hip-slung cognac belt), thereby doubling my belt collection. Must be something in the air..... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671268 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:45:34 +0000 Angie 671268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>See :)</p> <p>Read the post that just went out this afternoon. Laura is onto it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671264 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:42:23 +0000 Sylvie 671264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny you should say that as I've slowly been beefing up my belt collection (two arrive in the mail today). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671262 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:40:52 +0000 Meredith1953 671262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very bold indeed! I am not much of a belt wearer but I would love to be persuaded. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671261 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:40:19 +0000 Laura 671261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well aren't you psychic! I bought two this week and am off to read your post! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671260 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:40:02 +0000 JR 671260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOL! Non-belt wearer here, but I have been thinking that perhaps one loose around the hips with a skinny tunic might work. So maybe you're on to something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671258 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:39:31 +0000 Mo 671258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree! I never wore belts, but with my new drapey dress fascination, they are becoming more a part of my repertoire little by little. I bought 3 this month! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-belt-wearing-hunch#post-671255 Tue, 17 Jul 2012 21:36:20 +0000 Angie 671255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that many of you are going to be wearing belts more frequently over the next 6 months - even the complete NON-belt wearers are going to give belts a try. I can feel it in my bones :)</p> <p>How's that for my bold statement of the day. </p>
