A Magical Belt?

Meet the Three Beacons Belt...

I picked up one of these for a friend as a birthday present and I could not resit grabbing one for myself. (Does that somehow make the gift less thoughtful? Nah, I don't think so...)

Anyways...

Let me tell you, this belt is perfect! It can do no wrong. And it will instantly take an outfit from just random items thrown together to a full out pulled together look. Swoon!

Exhibit A: The Mossy Atoms Skirt (Small, $80)

I purposefully ignored this skirt pre-sale ($148 dollars is way more than I am willing to pay for an elastic wasted skirt). I pounced once it hit sale.

Out of the box, I was disappointed. The wrinkles! A good steam fixed that. But there were fit issues.  I chalked it up to the elastic waste band.

This skirt was marked for return. On a whim I grabbed it to trywith my new belt. IMO, the belt fixed the fit issues, and reminded me just how lovely the skirt is. The belt has temporarily saved this skirt. I will reconsider after 3 weeks.

 

Exhibit B: The Mona Skirt (Small, $98)

Oh Mona Skirt, you are so pretty. I first met a large version of you in my local Anthro. To my dismay, you were the only one of your kind in my store. I did not hesitate to order you online while Anthro still generously offered free shipping.

This lovely belt only enhance your beauty, and made me love you even more.

Even if I decide to trade you for a medium, I will always remember our time together fondly.

Exhibit C: See previous post here.

I rest my case.
