Outfits: Belted Looks


Anthropologie has this odd trend of hiding its best outfits in the jewelry & accessories section. Not to say that I don’t like the current outfits set…I just like these a bit better. I was belt aversive for a very long time but since joining the professional world I’ve slowly incorporated them into my wardrobe.

The look above is my favorite from this set. I’m in love with the Palo Borracho Necklace ($158) and it looks great set against the Insider’s View Shell ($68). Paperboy by G1 is one of my favorite summer skirt makers (they are so soft) so I’m excited to try on the Porch Bend Skirt ($88). Okay, maybe I just want the whole look!

Also in this outfit: Furrowed Belt ($34) & Petal Pushing Flats ($128)


The Dear Dianthus Sash ($24) brings a smile to face, partly because it reminds me of a similar sash from J.Crew — great brands think alike? — and partly because it’s irresistibly cute. The proportions in this outfit are terrific. As someone with less than spectacular legs I love the Bermuda shorts option. And the Seven Days Bermudas ($78) come in so many colors!!

Also in this outfit: Lettuce Florets Blouse ($88) & Butter Cream Heels ($218)


More jewelry! I love it when Anthro does complete looks, accessories and all. I was busy admiring the Vega Triangle Earrings ($28) for awhile before turning my attention to the AG Tomboy Crops ($168). How do we feel about tomboy crops? I think I might be into them. AG has become my new favorite jeans brand. Expensive, but worth it.

Also in this outfit: Cassis T-Straps ($158), Checks And Balances Blazer ($98), Button Seeds Tank ($58) & Neck-And-Neck Belt ($28)


Anthropologie loves them some Torsade Tee ($48). They’ve featured it in three outfit sets, they just unveiled it in a couple of new colors and it will probably never make it to sale (sigh). Cool as the tee is my eyes were immediately drawn to the funky City Safari Belt ($38). You can’t really tell in this shot but the product shot reveals giraffes all over the belt. So cool.

Also in this outfit: It’s Your Move Skirt ($98) & Secret Gleam Ring ($34)


One more look? I admit I’m clueless when it comes to these vests that Anthro styles so well. Somehow if I tried to copy this look with the Cobweb Vest ($78) in real life it would look terrible. So I’ll just admire it here, along with the Plaited Ponytail Belt ($42) which looks amazing in this shot! In real life would the be nearly as nice? Hopefully it makes it into stores so I can see.

Also in this outfit: Moonrise Necklace ($38), Refracted Tieback ($58) & Cloudbank Shorts ($68)

Which look is your favorite?

    I was just browsing the site yesterday, came across the belted looks section, and was blown away by almost all of them! I am loving outfits 1 and 4 here – and just dying to try the It's Your Move Skirt. Can't wait until some reviews start popping up on the site!

    The safari belt is so cool in person! It has little zipper pockets in it, like a mini fannie-pack (did I really just say that…)

    i was at the rockefeller anthro yesterday and every single one of the dianthus sashes on display was fraying in a major way, due to the unfinished chiffon. i love the way it looks, but i hope anthro comes out with a similar version made with a more durable material…

    I adore the City Safari Belt, too! So cute!

    I must have the It's Your Move skirt! It's so cute!

    Outfit #1 looks so effortlessly chic, like she just threw it on…I never look like that! And now I must have the Lettuce Florets blouse. I've been on-the-fence with this one, but pairing it with Bermudas is pure genius and completely adorable!

    My favorite outfit is the same one that you picked. I also used to be belt-averse, but I've found that they tend to make me look more like a "real grownup," which is helpful when I teach a room full of college students!

    I have been very anti-belts for the longest time until the famed snakebite and then the looping lanes belt. Now I'm hooked! I will definitely be purchasing more belts from Anthro…they really do make an outfit sometimes!

    I like the first and third looks.

    Love the first look and love the 7 day shorts. I am right there with you on not loving my legs in short shorts- spider veins YUCK! I think I could actually pull the first look off and not look like I am trying too hard.
