So having relatively recently moved from Aust to the UK, I am discovering a lot of new things.. like Jordan's real name, for example! hehe
Clothes have been a real shock, because in Aus it would never get cold enough to wear things like scarves and coats and now they are the staple of my wardrobe. I think its so much fun to dress up with all these 'new' accessories! I am loving it - especially because scarves are really inexpensive so you can instantly change a whole outfit with just a few pounds!
But the one thing I'm still not "getting" are belts. When I grew up, a belt was something you used to keep your pants up. Now that I don't need it for that, I can see that the point of belts is that they are decorative and you use them to give an outfit shape, but it feels like whenever I go shopping for one, i struggle.
I'd love some advice about how to buy belts or even how to shop for them. And, what is a reasonable number of belts to have in your wardrobe? Should I have a few fat ones, a few thin ones, etc? Or do different belt sizes/shapes/ locations flatter different body types?
To give you an idea, I am petite (5'3" and average-slim build (size UK/AUS 8)) - fairly evenly proportioned...
Even if you could post some pictures of looks that you love that incorporate belts, that would help heaps!
Oh, and of course also I want advice on where to go to BUY belts!? I live Edinbugh so have acess to most of the UK high st labels (in Glasgow if not the Burgh).
Thanks lovelies!! xoxo
