Here is something I’ve observed again and again – Mint Chocolate Chip icecream is preferred by more men than women. Almost every man I’ve dated has been a Mint Chocolate Chip fan. I could take it or leave it, myself. I prefer the more buttery flavors (Butter Pecan, Praline, Caramel Ribbon), if I’m not having chocolate. What do you think?
But back to my outfit…I hardly ever wear this belt. It’s too big to sit at the waist and I’ve found that a low slung belt requires constant readjusting. By wearing it today, I’ve made a commitment to tug it back into place on a regular basis. (I did wear the belt once before, threaded through the belt loops of a low-slung mini. I liked the look, but then I had to be particular about shirt length. Too long, and the buckle doesn’t show. Too short, and I’m baring tummy.)
I'm short waisted and sometimes I wear wide belts and sashes as cummerbunds.
ReplyDeleteI never see you in black boots
ReplyDeleteThat's because I don't really like my black boots.
ReplyDeleteHere is the entry from the last time I wore them.

I like this alot!! That belt is great, but you are right about having to re-adjust those belts alot, its a pain and requires too much effort. I keep most of my belts at the waist, even though I'm short waisted.
ReplyDeleteI love the belt.
ReplyDeleteOn the ice cream topic, my husband HATES mint chocolate chip. I didn't date much before I met DH. :)
Please get new black boots! I dont think mint chocolate chip is a guy flavor at all!
ReplyDeleteOn the mint chocolate chip subject, the version at the Cyclones game had bits of brownie in it. Ptui! Ptui! Bleh! Why ruin such a wonderful flavor!
ReplyDeleteOh, and awesome outfit. Just realized that I need longer and shorter sweaters; the length I wore today hit me at the complete wrong length. Love the color combo.
the belt is hot!!! and you wear it well!!! i love your blog and your style...
ReplyDeleteMint chocolate chip has been my favorite ice cream since I was a little girl. I think chocolate and mint is even better than chocolate and peanut butter, though chocolate-raspberry and chocolate-orange combinations give it a run for its money.
