the scoop

Can you find the fish in this look?

So last winter when I was in Arizona for a couple of months I found this belt at a thrift shop. Don't ask me why I bought it except that is was so whimsical! It is a man's belt and way too big for me but it was hand made in Essex CT and in perfect condition and I fell in love with it not knowing what I would ever do with it. It couldn't really be shortened but I'd worry about that later.

I started this outfit idea out by looking at my blog posts from this time last year. I thought it would be fun to recreate an old look remembering my commitment to use what I have. The sweater, over sized pearls and delicate heels were in my mind mostly. But one thing led to another and before I knew it I added this puffer vest and then I had an ah ha moment! That belt was just the zing this look needed. I turned the buckle to the back so the beautiful fish could be seen! The belt being canvas made me realize my canvas back pack was the perfect bag to finish this look. Oh! And the fisherman's hat topped it all off just right!

As always, thanks for stopping by!

Peace!
