Just a few seasons ago, fashion marketing proposed lots of dresses that were quite voluminous. And since fashion marketing proposed it, and we were seeing these dresses and wide tops in all the latest fashion magazines, we all went out looking for such dresses. This season however the trend has changed a bit.

If you are running on a budget, and you want to take all the dresses and wide tops that you bought last season, and turn them into hot new items for 2009, then your choice is one - belt it!

Belty choices

Fashion marketing yet again provides a larger than life range of belts. You may choose a wide belt in white to dress up a black dress and make it look very 60s style, or else go for thin coloured belts that will give life to your ‘old’ clothes. Remember that forgotten cardigan that is really soft? Jazz it up with a brightly coloured thin belt in colours such as pink or yellow. Take a boring skirt you bought some seasons ago, and colour it and lighten it up with a nice belt.  Just remember to keep it simple. Fashion marketing always suggests that less is more. If we overdo it, it might spoil our whole outfit. more…
