I have a slight obsession with belts. I believe a great belt is one of the easiest ways to update and transform your wardrobe. I insist that every client I work with at least tries a belt while we are shopping together. It’s amazing how almost any woman’s waist, size 0-16, is flattered with a high waisted belt. Since the rib-cage area, just below the bust, is usually the smallest part of a woman’s waist, it’s the ideal place to cinch and to draw the attention of the eye. I highly encourage you to try a new belt this Spring. Try belting long, loose blouses, tunics, cardigans, sundresses, etc. The possibilities are endless. And with the prices of these fab belts from Forever 21, you can experiment with a few sizes and styles for just a minor investment. Note:: If you are belting the small of your waist, you will need a smaller size belt than one you would wrap around your hips through the belt loops of pants.)

The Double Buckle Belt ($7.80) is such a stylish wide belt that comes in both black and brown. Wide belts are the ultimate waist-cincher! The elastic back to this belt makes it comfortable to wear.

How girly is this Elastic Wide Ruffle Belt?! I love it! And, it’s only $3.50!! It’s also available in Navy and Red.

This Skinny Studded Belt ($7.80) is strikingly similar to one at J.Crew. This one looks amazing wrapped around cardigans.

Add some shine and color to your waistline with the Patent Skinny Belt ($2.50). It’s available in three fun colors:: Orange, Pink and Green.

Stylishly yours, Lauren www.editbylauren.com
