Outfit Breakdown : Wide Legged Pants And A Belt

This outfit was for running some essential errands and was built around this top and wide legged pant combination. This cropped yellow top I originally bought to wear for that whole high waist cropped top look. I found though that there was always something wrong with the look every time I put it on. I wore it with high waist shorts once and well, the look was fine but there was just something that I couldn't quite put a finger on. And now I discovered what it was - I needed to belt it! I think my body type wasn't the right fit for this top to be billowing around, it did not look flattering on me. One morning I was watching a video of Beth Jones, a fashion YouTuber I follow. At the start of quarantine she made a video on styling 10 belts with 10 outfits. It immediately inspired me to literally jump out of bed and style up an outfit with a belt! Such perfect timing that I was planning to wear the yellow top and simultaneously discovered it actually needed a belt! I absolutely belts and a couple years ago, I wore them all the time. Lately, I've only just been wearing them sporadically so I'm glad Beth did that video to remind me wear them more often! They are such a chic addition to any outfit! I am also super happy that this top looks way chicer now that I cinch it with a belt! I can't wait to wear it more often now and with different belts!

These cropped flared pants I'm wearing are deifinitely one of my favorites! They are so flattering and are made with a stretch material and are so comfortable! I love how they fall and how they are cut. I finished off this outfit by accessorizing with my champagne colored slides from my shoe line Sala Chaussures, unpolished, rough cut citrine drop earrings and of course sunglasses.
