All of a sudden, I LOVE belts. I used to never wear belts. But I keep finding all these cute belts and I must have them. I still feel kinda fat wearing one, though. I don't know why, though. I carry all my weight right there in the middle-and now whenever you see a picture of me, you're going to be looking at my stomach!
Lise gave me a belt a couple of months ago. This one:
I wish I had a picture for everytime I've worn it. Actually, I wish I had a dollar for everytime I've worn it! I'm really wondering how I ever lived without it!
I wore this belt at DragonCon. I really like it. It's stretchy in the back, so I don't feel constricted in it. And it's going to be a nice addition to a Steampunk costume next year...if I ever get around to making one. (And I'm still not over the couple that told me I looked like Bea Arthur in this. Seriously?! BEA ARTHUR! In what universe is that a compliment?!!!)
This is my newest find. It's a Ralph Lauren belt that I found at Agora in downtown Athens. It still had the tags on it. $8! Score!! It's so prettiful! And it matches my ring!! This picture is VERY red. I tried to fix the color. Oh well. Hopefully the camera I broke at DragonCon will be mailed back to me SOON and I can use a real camera instead an iPhone to take pictures!!
So do any of you have a new obsession? Tell us all about it!!
Love the belts! You look great Joy!
ReplyDeleteI love the Ralph Lauren belt, it looks fabulous on you! I've never been one to wear a belt either, for the same reason you stated you didn't like them. But now you're making me reconsider.
ReplyDeleteIn the last couple of years I've gotten into shawls. I never know what the temperature will be in the office so I keep one there. I found one at a bluegrass festival for $5! I'm going to check my local thrift stores to see if I can find different colors....a girl has got to have options.
I never wore shawls until I saw Lise wearing one to a jewelry party at Rachel's house. We didn't even know each other then! And after I saw her with one, I had to have one. I love mine. I call it my blanket!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing in belts! And now that fall is coming on, you will see that I have more than just a small obsession with the scarves and shawls! And at that party? The lady who did it was Amanda McCullough (Shanes step-mother I am good friends with now). Small world.
