Comments on: A Word or Two About Belts http://betweenmypeers.com/2006/05/05/a-word-or-two-about-belts/ from the bottom of the fashion food chain, a conversation about what to wear. Thu, 17 May 2012 06:12:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2 By: Beth http://betweenmypeers.com/2006/05/05/a-word-or-two-about-belts/#comment-257 Beth Sun, 07 May 2006 20:10:00 +0000 http://betweenmypeers.com/2006/05/05/a-word-or-two-about-belts/#comment-257 The only belt that fits at the moment is my husbands ratty green fabric one that is currently holding up my 'cut too low' cords. I think the scarves and ribbons are cute but are not really about "holding things up" but more about just embellishing. Usually when I go for a belt these days it is a matter of function, not form. I am still mostly hiding my post partum waist, so perhaps these ideas will find a place in a few months. xoxo The only belt that fits at the moment is my husbands ratty green fabric one that is currently holding up my ‘cut too low’ cords.

And I meant to tell you, I had one of those belts like your other one, the one with the big design in front (that's not a very good description), back in the '80s. I wore it to belt a shawl-collar jacket, in the same tomato red. Agathe, that’s a great idea, too.

I like those belts where you can change the buckle. Then you only need one belt and you can buy new buckles when you need a change. The buckles are often rather flashy though but I guess they make all sorts of styles. Thanks for great ideas!

Thanks for sharing, ladies! :) Beth ~ are any of the belts and embellishments ideas helpful to you in your quest to be Audrey?

I was thinking of a scarf belt also, simply because that is the fashion these days here in Dallas. I think they look very cute and can really add just the right thing to an outfit ON THE RIGHT PERSON (which means, not me, but Katie :-))! I have been sewing Katie some cute summer tops and we have been thinking of making belts with some of the scraps of fabric. This morning Katie brightened up her drab Starbuck's uniform with a coral headband that we made from a scrap of fabric from a top I just made. It's that very sheer, crinkly fabric with some metallic bits in it and it really looks cute. I just bought my first belt in years while in Germany because my britches kept falling down - not due to my smallness :0 but to the cut of jeans I started wearing - below the waist. The belt I bought is really nice but I should have bought one size smaller :-(. Susan, who thinks embellishment can make all the difference in the world between nice and "Audrey." PS Rebecca - you must peruse Jody's site when you have a chance. I have been on her message board since I lived in your neck of the woods. Great ladies! Hi Rebecca,

I DO love the ribbon belt you linked to and now I have a link for you -- a scarf belt. So feminine and cute I think.
