Currently Crushing: Belts for women

-

I’m a big fan of a good belt. When looking back on my style, it kind of feels like the most consistent thing in my style has been accessorizing with a belt. I’m pretty sure EVERY SINGLE PERSON has at least one belt in their closet. Of course, belts serve a very functional purpose, but for me – I’ve been wearing them as an accessory or as that beloved third piece. A belt can take your look to the next level, and help you feel a little more put together.


Belts to Have in Your Closet

The Thin Belt

I’ve been wearing this thin belt for almost two years at this point. It’s 100% my most worn belt because of how simple it is! PLUS, 2319283081 holes make it so versatile. I can wear them lower on my hips with jeans, high up on my waist with dresses, AND even use it to do a little sweater tuck trick when I want to wear a skirt with a sweater. When it comes to what belts to have in your closet, a thin belt is a MUST in my opinion.

What Belts To Have In Your Closet

The Woven Belt

The woven belt is so good for spring and summer. I don’t know why, I just feel like it’s appropriate for these seasons. I used to own the belt I had pictured above, and I’m SO mad I donated it a few years ago. I don’t think it fit in well with my style at the time before I really nailed my personal sense of style.

The Statement Belt

Okay let’s talk statement belts. These are one off pieces that you usually keep in the back of your closet. But every so often there’s a look that would NOT be completed without a statement belt. So that’s why I wanted to put it on this list. Even though they’re not your MOST worn belt, there is no worse than feeling than having the perfect look in mind, but missing the ONE thing that makes it A LOOK. Ya know?

The Best Trousers From Everlane

The Elevated Belt

And finally, an elevated belt. We love an elevated belt. These are reserved for those outfits that you KNOW are good. The outfits you feel so timeless in and can wear over and over and over again. But they’re still simple in a way, right?

Easy Way To Style A Button Down Shirt

  There truly is a place for a button down in every person’s closet ( these must have wardrobe pieces from last year still check for me ) – doesn’t matter what your personal style is. And I think I’ve found THE best button down that you need to add to your closet. Let’s talk about it, shall we? The Best Button Down Shirt Why do I think this is the best button down shirt? The main reason is its versatility. I’ve never been a big fan of slim fit shirts – it’s a personal preference because I genuinely HATE when shirts with sleeves are too close to my body (I have sensory processing disorder). So I typically lean into buying the most oversized pieces. But when it comes to the best one?  This one is it . It’s the perfect in between shirt. It’s the perfect amount of oversized, but not overly boxy. It makes for the perfect shirt. How To Style A Button Down Shirt I meant it when I said this button down was so versatile. I own two solids and a stripe, and I’ve worn all three more times...

  Slip dresses are a big trend, and have been for quite some time. With their simple shapes that have an elegant feel to them, slip dresses are a timeless addition to your wardrobe. A slip dress can be worn year round, dressed up from day to night, and from work to weekend. Slip dresses are an easy option, so let’s talk about how to style them no matter the season or setting! But first, how should a slip dress fit? Although the silhouette of a slip dress is very simple, there are some things you’ll want to keep an eye out for when shopping. Grazes the body  – the dress should lightly graze over your curves, slightly highlighting the waistline – not too tight or too loose! Look at the straps  – no matter how long or short your hemline is, your straps should meet the neckline right around your armpits. Slightly tapered  – The most flattering designs have tapering around the bust or waistline, highlighting your curves. How to Wear a Slip Dress A slip dress MAY feel like...

urrently Crushing: J.Crew Etienne Shirt

  I’ve been dying to write this post because I just LOVE this shirt so damn much. When it comes to an oversized shirt, this is the one you’re going to have to buy for your closet. It’s really hard to overestimate the power of an oversized shirt. It’s truly perfect and checks all of my “pieces need to be this” boxes: comfortable, versatile, and stylish. I love that oversized shapes are trending right now. I’m ready to shed the heavy layers (not really, but at least a heavy coat), and I’ve been gravitating towards all of my button downs. From work to weekend, I’ve come up with a ton of ideas for how to wear the oversized shirt. The Perfect Oversized Shirt If you follow me on you’ve probably seen me talk about the J.Crew Etienne oversized shirt…A LOT. Like A LOT. I love this shirt for so many different reasons. But these are my favorite: it’s super relaxed and has a menswear feel, it’s not like your typical cotton poplin – it’s almost a lightweight oxford. It feels slightly more ...
