Do you remember Nat showing you how to wear a shirt as a belt? Well I had almost forgotten about it until I was reminded this morning by Redcliffe Style rocking the look.

I understand this isn’t for everyone, including my husband who hates it, but bare with me; check out this dress without the shirt tied around my waist, I look much wider don’t I?

The shirt pulls the dress in and distracts the eye, giving me a waist and camouflaging my tummy!

I wouldn’t be able to achieve this as easily with a leather belt, as it would be much more rigid than the shirt. Also if it gets cooler I can whip of the shirt and wear it how it was originally intended under my bomber jacket.
