the skinny belt experiment: discussion and conclusions

This post concludes the skinny belt experiment. This simple accessory may appear daunting at first, but with a few simple remixing tricks, a skinny belt can make a rewarding addition to any wardrobe.

Discussion. The purpose of this experiment was to remix a skinny belt in four unique ways with the hopes that my remixes would push me out of my fashion comfort zone while challenging and (hopefully) inspiring my readers to do the same.

All of these outfit combinations left me feeling confident and fashionable. My favorite combinations were the skinny belt + dress and the skinny belt paired with a long top and skinnies. But, the other two pairings, a skinny belt paired with a skirt and tucked-in top and a skinny belt + cardigan were not far behind. Overall, I learned that a skinny belt is a simple way to add interest, waist accentuation, and a little touch of fashion to any basic outfit. I also learned that most people you encounter on a daily basis don't notice your attempts at fashion (or at least didn't react or compliment my fabulous creations), which should make trying new things even easier!

So, you tell me. 
What should the next fashion experiment be?

Conclusions. In summary, the skinny belt is an accessory that can easily and successfully be remixed into a variety of outfits. And, if I have encouraged even one of you to wear a skinny belt in a way you wouldn't have before - I call this, my first-ever fashion remix, a success.
