Grunge/Smart | Belt Tied Over Jumper


I have been seeing belts being tied over blazers, coats, oversized jumpers and dresses for a few seasons now; but I've never felt like I could wear the trend. I love how the belt acts as a focal point to draw attraction to your waist, as well as breaking up any block colours to add dimension. I felt like this belt gave this slightly faded blue jumper a whole new lease of life. I also wore a black poloneck under the jumper to add a layer; and paired the outfit with red lipstick to add colour, an evening drawstring bag and black converse to contrast with the smartness of the belt and bag. I just love the layers and shape and cut of the outfit and will definitely be working with a belt as an accessory, instead of just a practical necessity, more often. I also have been wearing a velvet ribbon as a headband (pinned in under my hair) recently and have been loving the 60's feel it gives.
