Outfit of the Day- Tie It Up In A Bow

I had no creativity going this morning, but I knew I wanted to wear my new belt. I decided to throw on whatever would require no ironing, put on my belt, and head out the door. Done and done (but not without standing in front of the closet for a good five minutes in confusion about what could work). Sometimes its just one of those days.

Outfit Details:

Grey cardi- BCBG outlet

Black lace cami (underneath)- Hanky Panky

Black pants- Express (super old, part of a suit and I should have gotten rid of these long ago)

Black quilted flats- Scoop NYC

Black patent bow belt- Secondhand

Purple handbag- Rebecca Minkoff Mini Matinee

Outfit of the Day- Locking It Up

I got out today to enjoy a little shopping and lunch with my honey (yum to lobster rolls). I took my new Forever 21 belt out for a spin and I love it, but let's just say it is very important to wear it when my belly isn't full. On the plus size, it has corset like properties and makes my waist look smaller (two points for that).

Looks just like candy

Outfit Details:

Flower top- Rebecca Taylor (secondhand)

White tank- J Crew

Turquoise shorts- Theory (secondhand)

Tan woven sandals- Belle by Sigerson Morrison

Yellow necklace- ? (super old)

Brown belt- Forever 21

Blue/brown handbag- Rebecca Minkoff

Adding to the Rack- Forever 21 Is Trying To Bankrupt Me

Okay, that's not completely true (at least not today), but I will be if I keep making new orders practically every single week.

I believe that accessories are the cornerstones of a good outfit; a fab belt to highlight a cute waist, a statement necklace to add of pop of color and/or interest, a fierce shoe that showcase the legs and make people stop and nod with approval. They are all ways to add the punctuation mark to an outfit.

These new lovelies will work in a ton of different outfits!!

I really need a black belt, but after being seduced by the cute outfits that Chloe of The Chloe Conspiracy created with hers, I couldn't pass it up when it reappeared on the website.
