White oxford body suit, Moda International. Rust skirt with lace panels, Eddie Rodriguez. Wide brown corset-style belt, Newport News. Leopard print wedges, Steven by Steve Madden. Metal and red enamel earrings, World Market. Brown sunglasses, Walmart.This look is inspired by the May issue of Lucky: “a crisp white cotton shirt is a simple and unexpected counterpoint to an elegant, frilly skirt. To really play up your waist, add a wide leather belt.”
Unfortunately, my wide (p)leather belt broke while I was dressing myself this morning. I substituted a wide, elastic, corset-style belt and was horrified to find that I looked like a peasant girl. I tried to mitigate the costumey effect with leopard wedges. I still hated the outfit, though, because of this awful, bulgy belt. Guess I need to buy a new wide brown belt. I think I’ll spring for genuine leather next time.
I like the outfit but you're right. A different brown belt would've looked better.
