Ballet flats with tulle would look too literally ballerina...slip-ons or plimsoles maybe would work?<br /> Love the second look, floral blouse and pencil skirt look flattering and professional. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848642 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 13:08:18 +0000 lyn67 1848642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, for the tulle skirt with a denim jacket, but second outfit is also great&amp; love your specs! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848584 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 02:29:18 +0000 karen13 1848584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All these look great! I like the boots in 1 -I don't see stumpy. Fun juxtaposition with the tulle skirt and the belt looks perfect. I alsoreally like 3-4. The rediscovered skirt is excellent with blouse and accessories. Plus your smile. (And you hair is fab in all, Btw) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848582 Wed, 27 Sep 2017 02:19:35 +0000 Anonymous 1848582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love all your outfits River Rain.<br /> I am excited about belted middles! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848471 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 17:13:40 +0000 Angie 1848471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belt looks great with the tulle skirt, <b>River Raine</b>.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848453 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 16:01:56 +0000 Jenn 1848453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been feeling defined middles recently, too, although I'm still not comfortable in that belted-skirt look you're doing so well. I love the look! I really like your scarf, too. Gorgeous, gorgeous piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848443 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 15:25:18 +0000 River Raine 1848443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your comments!</p> <p>Clara - I recently found the scarf at Torrid but it looks like it's sold out online. bummer. perhaps you could find it in-store? It's very long and so awesome (I admit, I was pushing halloween season with wearing it, but no one at work even noticed the skulls). As for belting, I get what you mean. I do have to loosen it a bit sometimes, but I like having the waist definition, so I'll deal with it! :)</p> <p>Aquamarine - Thanks It's a tricky thing, belting.</p> <p>Angie - Thank you! * blush * Glad I could bring you a smile. Any ideas on the boots with the tulle skirt? Too much?</p> <p>Emily K - Yes! Try the belting again. My smallest bit is right under my breasts, so I accent that with the belts. There are some really cute belts around now. and wider belts are out there too!</p> <p>Shevia - Thanks! I was feeling really good in that tulle skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848305 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 02:19:38 +0000 Jaime 1848305@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also noticed your smile and your hair! I especially like the second outfit. Way to go! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848295 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 01:36:40 +0000 Emily K 1848295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto what Angie said! &nbsp;You take a great selfie. &nbsp;I guess I'm not too sure about belting it right now. &nbsp;When I was younger, I definitely belted but now I feel like there's not enough real estate between my bust and waist. &nbsp;With so many pretty belts coming into the stores, though, I might give it another try! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848288 Tue, 26 Sep 2017 00:41:29 +0000 Angie 1848288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YOU ARE ROCKING IT.</p> <p>Your smile is infectious. It makes <i>me</i> smile.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848280 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 23:59:34 +0000 Aquamarine 1848280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I never belt my middle but YOU look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848262 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 20:03:54 +0000 ClaraT 1848262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the outfits. That scarf is awesome and I wish it were mine :-)</p> <p>I like the look of belted middles, but when I put a belt around my waist standing up, it feels too tight when I sit down. Then, if I loosen it, it's too loose when I stand up. I guess you don't find that to be the case?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848260 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 19:52:11 +0000 River Raine 1848260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol...I suppose *I* stopped wearing them and now I'm doing it again. hahah. :)</p> <p>I liked the first outfit much better with the snugger fitting white tee with the scarf. There was more of a balance or something. The blue jean shirt may be too blousy to wear with this skirt...I tied it in front. I'll have to play with it a bit more.&nbsp;<br />Thanks for your comment and the ideas, Laura G. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848235 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 16:30:54 +0000 Laura G 1848235@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Belted middles are back? I didn't know they left!&nbsp;</p> <p>#1 is a great outfit. I like the boots with it. I think it's the scarf that makes it look a little bulky. With no scarf, or a smaller one that's not right up around your neck, I think it'd be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x2-belted-middles-are-my-jam#post-1848216 Mon, 25 Sep 2017 15:04:38 +0000 River Raine 1848216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Happy Monday!</p> <p>Also, anyone else really excited that belted middles are back? Cause I am!</p> <p>1 &amp; 2) This is basically an all-new outfit. Red tulle skirt from Torrid is already a favorite. The full length photo is my morning look, because it's usually chilly when I come in at 7:30. After a meeting, I was melting, so I took off the chambray shirt and had a white tee underneath, and the outfit still worked with the scarf (it has skulls and roses on it!). I didn't really plan to take off the shirt, but it worked out.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking at the photos now, I'm wondering if the boots were a good idea as I think they may have made me look stumpy bc the skirt is a midi. Perhaps a flat shoe would have been better? I was trying to toughen the tulle up a bit. Thoughts?</p> <p>3 &amp; 4) This is what I'm wearing today. Over the weekend I did a major culling of my closet and found this pencil skirt from a few years ago. And it still fits me! yay! Paired it with a belt and a tucked in top that's rather boxy if it's untucked. I feel a bit more professional. I tried to add a blazer or a shrug and felt it would be too much in our heat.</p> <p>Any suggestions/comments welcome.</p> <p>&lt;sorry for the photo quality. my phone is old&gt; </p>
