I’ve been wanting a big belt for awhile after seeing various outfits on Pinterest. Well wandering through Forever 21 (only my 2nd time in that store – – it seems to have great potential!) I saw a big ole belt for only $6! Where has that been all my life. I grabbed it and have already worn it a bunch. People probably see me and think “really, again with the belt?!?” but hey, I’m getting my $6 worth for sure.
So first up, I made one of those Tshirt vest things and belted it – the belt is for sure the star of the show:
Next up, I thought this outfit was dead on – I wish I would have taken a picture outside in good light before it got dark – oh well. My shirred skirt, denium shirt (walmart clearance, $1!), big yellow earrings –
And then I even put it with my maxi dress, again with the denium shirt – – I didn’t take an outfit picture that day, but here you can kind of see what I’m wearing (weekend trip to St. Louis – fun fun!)
So what about you – – have you ventured into the big-belt-around-cardigans/shirts look??

It is a really cute belt for $6! I like it on you. I have noticed that you write “denium”….is that a regional thing? I always thought it was denim?. Anyway. Like the statement belt and earring combo.

I was just popping in to ask about the denium/denim thing as well. Love the belt.

I love the look and was SO close to buying a similar one at Forever 21 but just didn’t know if I could pull it off. I definitely want to try it because I LOVE it!
