What i wore on wed and thursday

Thanks for posting pictures again, Vera. Pretty white blouse, fantastic handbag and super obi belt! (I have had one of those on my shopping list forever).

I much prefer the strappy sandals in the second picture when you wear shorts and skirts. The high-vamped mule in the first picture cuts a horizontal line on your outfit which is unflattering, whereas the strappy sandals don't. I hope that makes sense.

I'm also admiring your belt from Thursday.

I think that the sweater vest from Wednesday might be better with long pants or a top closer to your pants color. The vest is beautiful, but I feel like with a white top and tan shorts and high vamp shoes, it's dividing your body into sections because there are so many horizontal lines created.

OOO I love the belt! I really like the shape it gives you and the pizazz it adds. Where did you get it? And, while the Wednesday shoes look comfy, the sandals are definitely more flattering, as Angie said.
Maybe try the vest with a solid tee or something underneath so there aren't the competing buttons?

I agree with all!
The length of the sweater vest isn't ideal either I don't think. I feel like it's making you look like all torso and no leg. Whereas the belted outfit gives u a nice long leg line by defining your waist like that.

OMGoodness that belt is fab. And looks so good with that blouse!! Loving the sandals also.

Perhaps the vest w/denim and a tee??

You just reminded me that I still haven't started experimenting with belts;-)
Your obi belt adds such a fun and surprising element to the outfit Vera!

I agree with what the other ladies have suggested, and was also thinking I'd love to see your sweater vest (I love the cut-away element!!) with jeans. I think a brighter coloured blouse/top will look great too.

Vera you have some great advice from the other ladies already. I just wanted to chime in and agree with them that the obi belt works great for you. I have tried one and just couldn't get away with it - so lucky you!!!!

I love that obi belt on you. I would buy that one in an instant if I ran across it. It looks like it can be dressed up or down and you can have a lot of fun with it. It would be so pretty over a party dress for a more formal occasion.
I agree with what was said about the vest competing with the buttons on the white shirt. It's a very pretty vest and I think it would be nice with a knit or something (I'm leary of saying T-shirt here). It would be nice with jeans or a denim skirt too.
I love your strappy sandals to. You have great taste, I think!
Edit: I looked at your pictures again and want to comment on how pretty your pin tuck blouse is. It would be pretty with denim too. Maybe a denim skirt or pair of denim jeans or shorts are in your future?

Nice outfits! I like the white blouse paired with the gold belt. Its a great look! Very put-together. And the strappy sandals complete that outfit nicely.

You have pretty calves ... what would you think of shortening the hem of your walking shorts to show a longer lower leg? I think a hem at mid-knee or just barely covering the knee is a lengthening and flattering look.

The obi belt definitely has evening dress-up potential
