Sometimes I can’t help it.

I act before I think. Take on way more than is prudent.

Whoever said less is more clearly did not understand the allure of the perfect skinny belt. Truly. Occasionally, I overindulge.

Below you will find a casual outfit and a more polished outfit built around a nifty blouse. Most of the things accompanying the blouse are likely staples you currently have in your wardrobe.

Wear this outfit out for dinner or to work. Remember to cinch the belt around the waist of the untucked blouse.
