Charmed, I’m Sure

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Contrived to Charm, a wonderful Etsy Seller who sold hand-tolled leather belts that pretty much made me salivate on my laptop when I saw them? Well, I went ahead and actually purchased one of the belts— the ‘Villainess Belt’ to be exact— and, I’m so excited about getting the chance to wear it and its 3 different matching ribbons— I received the extras because I had to wait a little longer than normal, no biggie!
When there is a choice of whether to wear a belt or not wear a belt, I tend to pick the former. Belts are the one accessory that can completely change the look of your body. If worn high, a belt can elongate your legs and vice versa for the torso. They can add a bit of wow to an outfit, give you curves, and even make you look thinner. They’re little leather wonders.
Since the ‘Villainess Belt’ I ordered from Contrived to Charm is a corset style belt, I can pretty much cinch my waist down to nothing. However, it’s quite painful squeezing your insiders together, thus, a nonexistent waistline is a non-option. I will, however, suffer in the slightest and cinch my waist a bit smaller, so I can feel like the Vargas Girls whose corsets gave them dangerous curves an the tiniest of tiny waists.
What I’m Wearing:
Dress – Twinkle by Wenlan
Cardigan – Threads
Belt – Contrived to Charm
