Whimsy is a Cinch with Contrived to Charm
“If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?” ~ Alice from Alice in Wonderland

| Mermaid Scales Belt, $120 • Fairytale Sweetheart Belt, $49 • Shoe Spat Belt, $74 • The Villianess Belt, $49 |
The anticipation of Tim Burton’s latest masterpiece Alice in Wonderland (release date: March 5, 2010), starring the incomparably talented Johnny Depp as the Mad Hatter, is building in the fans of the notorious director and actor and fashion luminaries alike.
Fashion, an industry that thrives off whimsy and the oddly creative, provides the perfect companion to the buzz already surrounding this fanciful film, and many designers including Tom Binns and most recently Stella McCartney (via Elle UK) are provide consumers of the world with their very own Wonderland inspired pieces. However, simply by heading to Etsy.com, you can find a plethora of undiscovered talent who live for the fabled look. Contrived to Charm is one store filled with such talent.
The hand-tooled leather corset belts not only are evocative of the fanciful dress of fairytales including dark, whimsical ones like Alice in Wonderland, but they also create the beautiful hourglass shape for which women lust.
Having a long torso, belts are a must for me when trying to easily create the illusion of a proportional body or at the very least model-long legs, and with any and all of the belts, the styling possibilities seem endless. They could be worn with almost any fabric, cut, or design. Cinch a simple shirtdress with one of the Contrived to Charm’s carved creations to turn an otherwise basic look into “OMG” outfit, or spice up your favorite bodycon look the awe-inspiring hand-tooled Mermaid Scale Belt. I’d pair these belts with a diaphanous top. The slight masculinity of the leather belts would perfectly juxtapose my current need to be über-femme.
The Contrived to Charm belts retail for about $42-$125, and if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, custom orders are welcome.
