About my outfit: I wanted the belt to be the star of this outfit so I kept it simple with classic colors in a classic silhouette. The vintage pearls and updo give the look a ladylike, retro twist. And, of course, I couldn't help but finish the look off with my mary-jane wedges.
I originally wore it with my black pencil skirt and polka dot blouse. I was so excited to do a post titled "Lady Bug" but when I saw the pictures...something just wasn't right. The proportions were all wrong! For me, and my body type, I need to pair my obi belt with a more voluminous or A-line skirt. Here's how it looked so you can see for yourself (this is the best picture from the bunch):
Would you wear an obi belt?

Do you ever re-style a piece after you see the pictures? :)
