What I Wore : Belted Smocked Top W/ Red Heels

by Dexie

When I finally got my wide belts from EBAY, I thought to myself, “hmmmm, SELF, I’m sure there are are outfits we could come up with other than wearing the belts with dresses“. :) I’ve already wore the white belt with my off the shoulder orange tunic. And I planned on wearing the red one with one of my LBD’s.

Anyhooo, a light bulb went off and my bold printed smocked spaghetti straps babydoll top jumped at me. I’ve heard women say they don’t like wearing smocked tops because it makes them look pregnant. Well, I just found a solution for you. Wrap a belt around it. Wide ones though. Skinny belts wouldn’t work. I found this smocked top at Wal-Mart 3 years ago for $9.99(yes I still remember it), the red belt from Ebay, 2 for $15, L.E.I low-rise Chelsea jeans, $19.99. The Xhilaration green beads necklace from Target(on sale, $3.99) is actually a long one but I turned it into a double-strand look with this top because I know the color will get lost once mixed into the printed smocked top. AND of course to add to the red accent I was going for I wore my oh-so-orgasmic red heels from PAYLESS for shoes. The whole outfit worked perfectly, don’t you think?

Co-incidentally, Sasha thought of accenting her smocked top with belt as well. Sometimes I think we’re twins. Except she’s the prettier and skinnier one :).

    [...] Oh My Gawd. I almost fainted. I wanted to go to her so badly and start with my plethora of style jargons. I wanted to introduce her to(watch out, links ahead..LOL) smocked tops, belted tunics, wedges and heels, polka-dot dresses, bold prints, multi-print skirts, LBD’s, the classic trouser look for under $100, frilly blouses, and even just a regular tee with jeans, and that during winter you can definitely wear a dress/skirt with a pair of knee-high boots, and so on and so forth. My superficiality, or vanity, whatever you want to call it was in an active mode. BUT of course I didn’t wanna get a beat down from a stranger who probably couldn’t care less whether I’m alive or not, let alone my unsolicited advice on being stylish so I just minded my own business and went on with my seed-searching task.
