Lookbook

As the great white shirt and the braided belt continue their dominance over Summer/Fall fashion, may I suggest a few other ways to wear such a... wearable trend... Lookee here at Reese rocking the white shirt with...what else but jeans and off white accessories. Sometimes I swear, it is so easy that it`s not easy... you know? And here we find Rachel with a braided belt over a plain t-shirt/ jersey dress. So simple and casual...yet I needed her to spell it out for me... I feel as if I think too much when it comes to clothes... Oh and by the way, should you decide to get your hands on a t-shirt dress as per Rachel`s (American Apparel will have some great ones)...may I suggest you keep it for fall. Paired with opaque tights and layered over a long sleeve shirt and some black boots....oh la la. Donna Karan won`t know what hit her!

I am not a belt person. I don’t like to make an effort to put a belt on. And I hate trying to figure out the intricate balance between being too matchy matchy and looking like I belong in the fashion spread of Lucky Magazine. It is just too much work for me so I choose to avoid it and deal with saggy pants. All this ended when I found a perfect braided brown belt. I wore it with white pants and felt like I belonged in Banana Republic . I paired it with denim and everything in my life seemed to fall into place. The braided belt seems to be pretty hot right now, popping up everywhere from Gap to Smart Set to Le Cheateu. TIP: Wear it over a long shirt (nipped at the waist or 2002 style hanging low) or as an actual belt, loops and all. It’s a nice little update to the thick belts that we saw last fall (which by the way come back bigger and badder next fall). It also beats those skinny numbers I wore that would half disappear in my tummy fat when I sat down…arghghgh. Get Your Braided Belt ...
