You Said: Yes to Wide Belts

We asked: Would you wear Wide Belts?

You said:  Yes to Wide Belts, with a 72% to 28% vote.

Style tip? Wide belts definitely make a statement.  And while they can help define your waistline, they can also draw attention to a thick middle.  But overall, we think that wide belts have more plusses than minuses.  As for how to wear a wide belt, here’s a rule of thumb: the more ornate the design of the belt, the simpler the outfit needs to be.  For colder months, We love pairing a statement belt with a simple sweaterdress and a pair of boots.  As simple as it is chic.  

Next question: Tights are a cold weather staple, whether they’re for an extra layer of warmth under pants or to protect your legs from the cold under skirts.  Solid colored plain tights are standard, but what do you think about textured tights?  Tell us, would you wear Textured Tights?  Cast your vote on the sidebar!

Hayden-Harnett Hobo Bag

As longtime fans of Hayden-Harnett, we’re pleased to see that their line is finally accessible to those of us who don’t want to drop hundreds on a bag. Their line for Target features many of their signature styling details - but in a more affordable construction. While the fabrics and trims aren’t the same as those in their premium line, the price differential makes these bags worth a look. Our favorite item from the collection? Hayden-Harnett’s Hobo bag, a roomy take-everything-with-you handbag that can be carried in your hand like a tote–or slung over your shoulder.

$44.99 at Target.
