1. Scarves
Ready for my famous scarf-belt?? Okay, it’s not famous. It’s just “famous.” Create your own scarf-belt with this tutorial! Or, forgo my scarf-belt and make a bow with your scarf!
2. Ribbons
I discovered my mother-in-law’s secret stash of ribbons that she didn’t use anymore… It adds such a cute little detail to your outfit! You can have the bow in the front, the back, or off-center if you’re feeling wild. Or rope anyone??
3. Steal a sash/belt from one of your other clothes
I rarely wear the belt that comes with the dress, the pants, the whatever. It ends up being too matchy-matchy! I do, however, steal it for different outfits. Like this sash belt I stole from my Anthropologie pants, and wore it here to keep my skirt up. Literally.
4. Necklaces
If you have any longer necklaces, use them as belts! If they are not long enough, use a ribbon to make them longer.
5. And back to the ol’ regular belt…
And, yes… I do realize how pretty I look here, thank you!

The scarf as a belt? Genius
ReplyDeleteI also suffer from a very sever case of the must belt everything disease. I'm glad to know I'm not the only one out there!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you use ribbon to cinch!
ReplyDeleteI love them all (and also suffer from mild belt disease) but my favourite is the belt over a scarf. Never thought of that before - genius!
ReplyDeleteLove your style BTW

So here I was thinking I was sooo cool because I've done most of these and then you threw in the "rope". Haven't done that one yet and would have never thought of it in a million years. Oh, haven't done the belt on top of scarf either.Consider my mind boggled!
