Tomboy Behavior

July 26th, 2012

Ray-Ban Aviators, Elizabeth and James Blouse c/o, Anthropologie Necklace, Club Monaco Belt, Gap Jeans (similar here), Nixon Watch, Coach Bag, Costume National Heels

I haven’t worn a belt around my hips since college, when I’d wear them with prairie skirts, turquoise jewelry, and clunky platforms. Instead,  I’ve bought belts to wrap around the smallest part of my waist, as a way to make my less-than-lengthy legs appear longer. I saw this belt on display a couple of weeks back and loved the tomboy-inspired look of a low-slung striped belt with broken in jeans so much that I decided to embrace the look, this time without the prairie skirts.

    I love this look. You have this amazing power to make tomboy pieces look so feminine. I love the mustard yellow too esp with that necklace!

    Loving the jeans. Getting a decent fit is always so hard I find. At least we have so much choice at the moment, skinny, carrot leg, boyfriend style and the list goes on…

    Simple but works really well – belts around the hips are attractive and practical (if you need to keep your trousers up :) )

    I stole the same belt from my dad’s closet he wore in the 1960s from when he was in high school!

    My eyes immediately gravitated toward the Costume National heels. They’re so lovely, and compliment your outfit wonderfully.

    Cheers.

    Mustard yellow is one of my favorite colors, right after turquoise. Belts are a great fashion staple, and I have one brown leather one that I wear with my favorite pair of jeans. I feel like it doesn’t look good without it!

    I left a comment today already…… I was waiting for your book since a long time and, guess what…. just now I finally got it! I’m so happy, here in Switzerland we have a beautiful summer day and I will be at a local pool this afternoon reading your book! I just went through it a little bit and I already love it! The pictures are so beautiful, the whole layout is perfect and I also love the size of the book, just perfect! x Gabrielle
