Distractions: red belt

Eureka!

Yup, I found it! Remember how I wanted a red belt and couldn't find one? Well I did end up finding one at Forever 21, they are the perfect place to find inexpensive belts.

I also got this skirt on sale at Anthropologie. In the pictures it looks white but in person it's looks dingy. I was a little disappointed when it arrived in the mail but I loved the material (plus it was on super sale!) and the frayed hem so much that I kept it despite the color.

Yup, that's Nik in the bottom right corner.

Put a belt on it!

I've been looking for a red belt since last summer and I haven't seen anything that I thought would be perfect. You know sometimes you have those moments when you see something and you j.u.s.t. k.n.o.w. that it's the perfect thing you're looking for!

Why do I want a red belt? Because I think it's a great attention grabber, it's like saying, "Hi, my waist that disappeared for a few months is back and it's right here." I avoid wearing belts at the hips unless my pants are falling down because I think it shows that I have a short torso and people ask why I'm wearing my pants so high. Enough of my fashion woes, check out these lovely red belt inspirations:
