WIW this week - new belt and tee

Astrid

The black belt is new, I found it when I searched my parent's closet for a belt to use on our Paris trip for my boyfriend jeans. It's a real leather men's belt from my dad. It was too big for him now and he said I could have it, so I punched three more holes into it and now it's perfect. My mum bought the tee of the second outfit for me when we went to Hardrock Café Paris. It was just around the corner from our hotel and my little brother wanted to go there to buy some drumsticks. The last picture is my outfit variation of the second outfit, I changed into it in the evening when I didn't want to go with bare legs.

Any ideas for improvement? Thoughts?

Such a gorgeous smile you have! Good work on shopping your dads closet!!
Love your column of colour in photos 1 and 2! I have to admit my eye did look at the off-set belt buckle. I fugured you did this because you needed the belt loop to hold the excess in? I use a hair elastic to keep the belt from "wagging" - what does everyone else do? Or does it matter?

I love all of these too! The only thing I've play around with is the buckle of your Dad's belt. I also want it centered. You might be able to tuck the belt end under your belt if the leather is soft enough. You look great and if sounds like your trip to Paris was a success. Love the T on you. And that vest is really quite perfect!

Thanks Merwoman! I did it because of the belt loop, yes. I'll definitely try that hair elastic thing the next time, I hadn't thought of that.

Thanks Claire! The leather of the belt is fairly thick, so I don't think tucking will work. But I'll try it! I really like the vest too, it's great for adding some structure on top when it's too hot for a denim jacket.

Thanks Scarlet! I think so too, slowly but surely.

Tamara, it's my perfect boho bag - I really love it! I bought it on a trip to London four years ago, it's a brand from Selfridges.

Thanks Alicat and Harmonica!

Just wanted to add that I'm wearing the belt today with an hair elastic, it works! And my top covers it, so you can't see a thing. So thanks again for the tip!
