STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Just Belt It

In a world of oversized tops and dresses, belts are a Fashionista must-have. I’m a lover of pretty much anything oversized and have found that having a few staple belts in my closet can come in handy when I least expect it. The best thing about belts is that you can wear them in so many ways, not just with something baggy. Whether you want to wear them in the belt loops of your high-waisted pants with a top tucked in, a chunky sweater or a fitted dress, belts serve many purposes and simply just rock.

This week's Fashionista paired her red skinnies with a fun leopard top and awesome accessories like her double wrap belt that really caught my eye. Although her shirt isn’t extremely oversized, the belt still adds definition to her shape. The color and studding makes the belt on trend and easy to pair with multiple outfits. I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect belts to wear with my fall sweaters and dresses, check out what I found!

Add some texture to an outfit with this beaded stretch belt. For a simple look, wear this it with a colored knit circle dress and throw on a cardigan for the chilly fall mornings. A pair of booties will easily transition this dress into fall and you could even wear a fun pair of tights underneath to further its use. For an alternative look, this belt would look great with a textured mini skirt and a blouse tucked in; wear the belt at the top of skirt for an ultra-slimming outfit.

For a more traditional belt, try a fun leopard print, which I wear as a neutral sometimes because it's so easy to wear. This belt would be cute worn with your favorite jeans a slouchy T-shirt. Ready to bust out the oversized sweaters? Wrap this belt around your big, comfy sweaters to give yourself a defined waistline amongst all the fabric.

If you're ever in an outfit rut and feel like something is missing, try adding a belt! It can be like the icing on a cupcake, making the entire outfit!

STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Just Belt It

The fashion world isn't fair to the Fashionistos. Us Fashionistas have so many options when putting together our daily looks: Skirt or jeans? Heels or flats? Statement necklace or oversized watch? Lace or leather? You get the point. Fashionistos, however, don't get those options. Pants or… other pants? Not the same.

It is especially limiting for Fashionistos when it comes to accessorizing. Sure, they can sport a simple chain necklace, a great watch, nice shoes or a messenger bag, but after that what else is there?

That's why this Fashionisto caught my eye with his unique, and quite frankly adorable, belt buckle. The closet nerd in me instantly recognizes the Bullet Bill from the Mario video game series, and the Fashionista in me loves his approach to subtle styling. Paired with a simple pair of jeans and a sharp teal polo, his look is simple and classic yet adds the perfect touch of whimsical flair.

This Fashionisto tells me that he actually only owns one belt, but has many different belt buckles, including a Star Wars one. Changing out your belt buckle for your daily look is an easy way to add a unique touch to any outfit.

Fashionistos, there is no reason to feel limited or left out. Accessorizing in fun and unique ways is for you, too — just belt it.
