Fivetake: Belts

My usual use for belts is as hidden holder-up-of-trousers-and-jeans-because-I-buy-the-wrong-size, but I do have some that actually supposed to be for show.

As a fat woman I have steered away from the obviously belted look as I thought it would make me look fatter. And to be honest if it hadn't been for the week's fivetake, I probably would have worn this dress without it. But it looks better belted I think. It's got an elastic waist which tends to wander either too high or too low for optimal style, and the belt keeps it in place.

I was going to be wearing tan sandals with it to match the belt, but the sodding buckle on one has gone weird. Love the comfortable Cath Kidson trainers though :)

So, in conclusion - I may just start wearing belts a bit more prominently. After all I did also happen to buy this belt in black as well! Love Primark!
