Accessories are such a fun way to add glamour to a basic outfit. Today I want to show you how to add a bright or not-so-bright belt to your skirt or dress!!!
Okay we're going to start basic, but don't worry...it gets better. This is one way to add a simple touch to a basic skirt. A pencil thin belt can go a long way!
I must admit that this is my favorite look of this blog entry; there's such an ease and natural flow to this outfit. She wears the belt over a warm sweater with a cool white shirt. The purse and sunglasses are a hit! Imagine this same outfit without the accessories. It would actually be quite bland. Also, no need to overdo it. She is doing well without earrings or a necklace.
And you can wear a belt over a jacket with no belt loops to make a really cool fashion statement. Just play around with belts and layers until you get the look you want!
Here are some really cool ways to add a belt to your favorite dress or khaki skirt. Your dress does not have to have belt loops to wear a belt with it and the belt doesn't have to match the dress exactly. Yellow and red go great with grey tones and a darker brown industrial belt goes well with khaki:
A red belt on a solid black or navy blue skirt/dress is almost always a winner:
This thin red belt brings out the classic character of this polka dot and navy blue look. I love the bow! Don't you? And the matching red purse is a winner!

I hope you enjoyed these looks! Now it's your turn...go for it and send me pictures! Tip for the economical shopper: I always find really cute belts at thrift stores for really low prices. And Salvation Army has a half off day on Wednesdays where I live! Find a thrift store and match up your new belt with an old timeless piece.
