Since
when did waist belts suddenly become ‘a thing’? Well I am guessing we have the
spring/summer trend and Gucci to thank for this and I am certainly not hating
on the much improved look.
Ok,
ok, I hear you, it isn’t all down to Gucci but their cute black leather belt
with the ‘GG’ buckle has clearly had a huge impact on fashion lovers,
especially bloggers over the past couple of months to get the trend
circulating. 17-year old Alice will be grinning from ear to ear if she knew
that waist belts would once again become popular. I still remember trying to
get away with rocking a brown (yes a beige and dark brown) elasticated waist
belt with my navy blue winter coat and oh boy did I think I looked good.




Fast
forward to 24-year old Alice ~ present day ~ still cringing at my awful faux
pas and cannot understand why I am currently retelling my cringey style moments
of being a teenager. But I am a huge fan of the trend; I have been loving
rocking a cute small black leather belt with a shift dress or cinching in a
looser fitting item to show off my curves.




I
could never pull off this silky oversized shirt, it is quite a boxy fit which
isn’t the best style for my body shape. Instead of throwing it away or handing
it over to charity I tried to rejuvenate the style by adding my little black
belt around the waist – I kinda like it. I love how it is simple and quite
demure so it doesn’t look out of place or stupid.
Are
you a fan of a waist belt?
Alice
