Buckle Up!
As someone who used to be cold-hearted toward belts I gotta say this new accessory obsession hit me hard. Classic black belts are a powerful yet simple statement accessory that are very easy to buy, wear, and have fun with. They’re masculine, menswear inspired, and a little bit 80’s. This summer’s statement accessory is also super easy to transition into fall.
Taking Summer’s Favorite Trends Into Fall
In fact, all of the pieces I’m wearing today {the button-front denim mini, lace-up blouse and statement belt} are perfect pieces to carry over into the next season! Just last October I styled the button front mini for fall with over the knee boots and can’t wait to style it with my newest boots and a slouchy sweater.
And I’m definitely not ready to pack away my lace up tops. This cream blouse is such an easy, yet eye-catching piece to throw on and go with your favorite jeans! I love classic pieces with unique details and this top is just that.
This entire outfit really is another great example of how combining a couple of statement accessories with closet basics can truly elevate a look. Without the bold western-style belt and snakeskin heels, this look is just sort of ho-hum. Adding accessories is also great way to dip your toe into the water with new trends, without changing your personal style.
