"It Looks Better IRL"

So this post is to show how I change my mind over an outfit ;) 

I LOVED this outfit when I wore it. 

And I received a ton of compliments on it. 

But when I looked at the pictures later I HATED IT. 

So much I threw away the boots afterward. 

Like why did I even wear the boots with this outfit? Too much grey. And that skirt just covered up all of the bling of the boots anyways. 

Shirt: Little Bluebird's Boutique

Skirt: Thrift store

Belt: Little Bluebird's Boutique

Tank top: Walmart 

Boots: Some small store at the mall. 

Necklace: Thrift store

I think I'd like the outfit better if my hair weren't so flat and if I wore different shoes with it. I really like the belt and shirt together. Maybe it needs a different skirt, too? 

Expect to see most posts with the shirt and belt to see if I can muster up something nicer :) 

What about you? Ever find you don't like something as much as you thought once you saw the pictures? Or maybe, like me, you feel like the outfit just suited real life better than pictures ;) 

Just Belt It

My mom downloaded an app awhile back that had a bunch of nice dresses, so she asked if each of us girls would like a dress . . . I saw this one and thought it was so pretty and unique. 

I loved it - except I have this thing about wanting a waist. 

Some probably think it looks fine as is. But I had to get a belt. And then after that I just went crazy (note the scarf in my hair for a full gypsy look) 

Dress without embellishment.

Now doesn't the belt make it look a hundred times better?

And the scarf it just so fun, plus adds color ;) 

This is one of my favorites of the pictures ;) 

The poor flowers were hailed on, so I showed them off.

Dress: Wish
Belt:  Little Bluebird Boutique FB and Little Bluebird Boutique Website
Necklace: I made it :)
Sandals: Walmart
Scarf: Thrift Store



I wore this outfit to a friend's graduation party. They had such a nice yard I decided to do my photo shoot there ;) That's why the scenery is so pretty. But I'm afraid the lighting isn't the best ;/ 

Would you wear a dress like this? And if so would you belt it or not? 

A Classy Dragon Leather Belt! {review}

 

 

 

So, a couple weeks ago I was sent this gorgeous "Zoey" belt from Emily's Belts.

This lovely hand-crafted leather piece came wrapped nicely in a matching tissue paper; and from the moment I opened the box and unwrapped it, I knew it was a fine accessory!

 

 

 

 

 

It is true, genuine leather and this you can tell simply by its scent! (Am I the only one who just adores the smell of leather??)

 

 

 

 

One of the neatest things about this belt (and, most original as well) is the dragon etching on the front. Y'all might already know from past reviews that I love medieval/fantasy related things. So naturally this little emblem is one of my favorite parts of this piece!

 

 

 

 

Here, the shop brand of the belt's maker, on the interior of the belt.

 

 

 

I ordered the belt a tad too big, because I wasn't sure what to expect for sizing... I've found that it's wise to go bigger, when you're unsure. SO, thanks to this, I can wear this belt either at hip, or waist.

Personally I prefer to wear belts at the waist, but it's nice to know I could do either option here if I wished.

 

 

The belt has a very unique design/construction. It doesn't require a belt buckle; which is nice!

The color may appear very red in these photos but it's more of a cherry-mahogony brown.

 

Personally, I am really liking this belt and I know it will be used often in my wardrobe!

It is so my style, and quite clearly it has been crafted skillfully by someone very talented in leatherworking!

A big thank you to Marilyn at Emily's Belts for providing this item for review.

 

Hope y'all enjoyed!  I'd love to hear your thoughts!

 

Blessings,
