Belt that Cardi!

I don’t know about you, but I LOVED yesterday’s Monday Style Prompt: belted cardi!

Two looks for two days because that's how I roll with an idea I like.

Some of my thrifty work peeps and Instagram friends knocked it out of the park and it got me thinking that this is one of those no-fail looks!  No matter size nor belt nor cardi, putting them together polishes an outfit and takes it from meh to YEAH!

Core item #5 stripe skirt $3.50, core item #10 polka dot top $3.50, raspberry cardi extra $4.50, belt gifted but thrifted and shoes $3 plus accessories from my closet

I usually button my cardis before belting as per J's Everyday Fashion's video tutorial, but thought I would try it open to show a little more skin, I mean pattern.

Gotta love the contrasting colours and pattern-mixing! #mixnotmatch

Just in case you think this look is reserved for skirts and dresses, I tried it out today with pants and a healthy dose of matchy-matchy!

Core item #6 sage pants $5, core item #8 floral blouse $2, camel cardi extra $3.50 plus Miz Mooz shoes and braided leather belt.

A belt adds shape and makes the leg-line look longer. That's a-literation.

I have a secret. I wore TWO belts - one to make sure I didn't lose my pants at school - a valid concerns - and the other for style. Flatter Me Belts are perfect for this purpose and/or you could eat 100 cookies like I did tonight because my pants were a bit loose.

If you didn’t try this Monday Style Prompt, it’s not too late to belt that cardi and watch it work for you!

Two days, two looks, two "wins"!!
