Belt Bags

Friday, January 11, 2019

Belt Bags, the millenials fancy term for a fanny pack. If you are a kid from the 80's and 90's you might be thinking, WTF, is the fashion world bringing back those ugly things. BUT these belt bags are super stylish and lets just admit that even when they were the ugly fanny packs of the 80's and 90;s they were still super practical!

Which makes me think even more so man has motherhood changed me this much. Kidding but not kidding.

They have been growing on me for the past 2 years and over Christmas I took the plunge into the Belt bag world and I am LOVING IT!

- You can wear it casually around your hips, looks great with structured or slouchy styled bag

- Get a more structured bag and wear it over coats as a true belt

- Wear it like a crossbody bag

- Or depending on the bag, wear it like a purse on your shoulder.

I purchased the Rebecca Minkoff Bree Leather belt bag in grey {shown below in Shop the Look}. Its the slouchy kind but I think is the most versatile style since I am in a season of life right now that is calls for a more casual style. Meaning I have a wild toddler and lucky to get out of the house some days in anything besides leggings. The structure belt bag style, I think works better for a more dressed, crisp look. Not my season right now but maybe for you.

Here are some great ways to wear it.

How-to-wear Stripes

Spring 2013 Trend Tips

Think of STRIPES as your friend.

Small & Same Size Stripes = Flattering and can cover up a problem area when you pair the striped patterned top or bottoms with a solid color alternative. The focus (eyes) will then go to the solid piece in your outfit.

Mix & match Stripe patterns. Small, thin stripes on one piece and then wear with a larger stripes on another piece.

Forget the old rule: VERTICAL stripes are NOT more flattering then HORIZONTAL. Seriously it matters more the size and consistency of the stripe and pattern then the direction of the stripes.

In fact a horizontal striped dress could really emphasis your waist if you have an hour glass figure or maybe even create a waist line for those of us who do not.

Look how these stripes bring your eye to her waist (of course she's a model no kidding she has a tiny waist) but the dress is a great example of how you should be using stripes or patterns to work for you.

A vertical stripe pant can elongate your legs and make you look super tall but it can also give the illusion that your hips and butt are more larger then they really are.

SAFE BET: go with a neutral stripe color.

KEY TIP: Pay attention to the PATTERN of the STRIPES and where they are located on your body.

My Suggestion:

Buy ONE striped shirt that you are comfortable with to wear. Stripes are really timeless if they are Black, Blue, Tan, Beige, etc or if they are smaller in any color.
