I'm kind of doing a happy dance over finding my own personal sweet spot for a belt. Wheeeeeeee! :)</p> <p>Lyn67 - thanks for the additional suggestions - very much appreciated!</p> <p>Nadya - thanks for the compliment on my hair.

YLF and radiant in your belted outfit ! :-)<br /> Ref. the tweaks you want to hear about:-) I've found out that belting can be more easier -for those of us with apple tendencies- when:<br /> - the belt is the same color like the garnment you belt it and then AND- this is very important, too-<br /> -if the buckle makes a focal point<br /> (I esp. love a good metallic shine of any kind: steel, silver, gold).<br /> Then, I esp recommend the elasticated belts-great for comfort-and perhaps layering something over (a cardi or a blazer/jacket) for hiding the belt all round around and just let it peek from under in the front, where left open!<br /> Hope this thread will be also helpful, even if picties are not more available (sorry, but I closed my flickr accound long ago)<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belts-2" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/belts-2</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-belting-it-out-for-anniversary-no-5#post-742036 Sun, 07 Oct 2012 19:06:02 +0000 moira 742036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yup.

I am currently experimenting with belts after a loooooooong hiatus. It's been a trying adventure with belting - I have practically no torso and finding my "sweet spot" has been a challenge; as in, I was pretty confident I didn't have one. But last night I took a chance anyway and I'm happy with the result, but also made some notes for tweaking next time.</p> <p>I'd love to hear your feedback - it's been a while since I've posted a WIW as it's been a very busy school start-up with many changes. That being said, I've been keeping up on the forum and absorbing lots of lessons, so thank you to everyone in advance for their wisdom.</p> <p>Jeans - Eddie Bauer<br /> Top - Cleo Petites<br /> Belt - a random company; found at Marshall's<br /> Boots - Franco Sarto<br /> Jacket - Danier Leather </p>
