80′s Belt Renewed

This outfit is basically the laziest combination of clothes ever. I just combined three of my favorite closet staples at the same time. Ah, comfort. Sometimes you just have to go with what you know works for you. What could be easier than a black dress for a blah weekday morning?

I’m also kinda obsessed with the combination of black, magenta, chestnut brown and gold. I found this killer belt at the Goodwill a few weeks ago and I’m in love. It was originally worn with a fringed jacket, acid rinsed jeans and some serious 80′s bangs (like this) I have no doubt. But, with a little re-invigoration I like to think it looks modern.

Black shirt dress: L.L.Bean Signature
Magenta tights: Marshall’s
Boots: L.L.Bean
Belt: vintage, thrifted
Watch: Michael Kors

Any fun weekend plans out there?

About sweetersalt

Salt = sodium = bad. Sweet = calories = bad. Well, isn't that just a bleak outlook. I firmly believe that without salt and without sweet we all just live in a world of lettuce. Plain lettuce. Fun? No. This blog is about life. Namely, my life. But, not that specific. I myself am simply not that interesting. I live an ordinary life, work an ordinary job and do ordinary things. But... life is all about experiencing that feeling you get when you really, really like something. If you don't feel a little warm in your heart when you walk into a farmer's market or try on a piece of beautiful clothing that fits you perfectly (that just so happens to be a great deal!) then you should probably keep on a' movin' from my little plot of internet. Sweeter salt is my metaphor for the good things in life, sprinkled over everything in moderation. Banana? Kinda boring. Banana smoothie - yum! White tank top? Yawn. Statement necklace layered over said tank - now we're talking! I live in Portland, Maine. I love cooking, eating out, riding my bike and approachable fashion. This blog does not chronicle my every waking moment. This is because you will probably not be entertained by the 10th day in a row that I eat the exact same salad for lunch. It does chronicle a healthy, active, fun-filled, colorful lifestyle, in Portland and beyond. It also covers dogs. Cute ones mostly.
