Friday Favorites: Cinched

TGIF! (a day late - see my previous post as to why) We rounded the corner on week 2 of staying in our sweet homes and I'm must say (don't hate me) that it's actually been fun! I've realized how much time is spent running around and just how much I can accomplish by staying put. Our home is spic and span, our yard and garden is manicured and the laugher our walls have heard is higher than ever.
A lot of it's coming from the FaceTime & Zoom meetings we are having!
Even Vivian is using it for story time with other kiddos.

Ever popular 'GG' belt

While many things about this are far from easy, it's a cinch to elevate your outfits! Belts, gals, belts. They're my favorite accessory!
Bonus: If your waistline has suffered (which I hope it hasn't) a belt can be the best disguise creating an emphasized hourglass silhouette.

Belts add shape, detail, texture, shine and can add a breaking point to in your outfit creating flattering proportions on your body.
Example: A belt high on your natural waist will make your lower body/legs appear longer.

~~Tip~~ RULE: If your dress, skirt, pant or even peplum top comes with a self fabric tie/sash REPLACE it with a belt! I always do this and it enhances the garment and overall outfit 10 fold!

Belts are also a good accessory to invest in due to their ability to be worn over and over again with so many pieces. Just like a classic pair of shoes.

Here are some of my favorites ...
