Bent on Belts!

I don’t care if they’re so 2008, I’m still obsessed with high waist belts! These belts, worn not through your belt-loops, but high up on your waist, are not only stylin’ in a big way, they’re ultra-figure flattering. I love wearing thick belts because they instantly create the hourglass figure that nature never bestowed upon me. These belts cinch in baggy tops, sweaters, and dresses and balance out wide hips by drawing attention upward.
Girls with short torsos, like me, should stick to medium/skinny width belts, so we don’t look like Stumpy, the 8th dwarf. One of my favorite high waist belts is black, crocheted, and elastic-y with a brown leather ends and a metal buckle from Urban Outfitters. The stretchiness ensures that the belt will never be so tight as to impair my breathing, even on my Big Bertha bloat days, and the dual colors make my belt wearable with any shoes, be they black or brown!
