Because of my pain recently I've been trying to wear more dresses so I'll have to go belt shopping!

I wanted to do more looking around last weekend but between Abby and my joints it was a quick trip! I'll plan a trip sans the 3 year old :) Sounds like a plan!

Will definitely try them out! My shoes are flats! I would love to wear heels (I love the way I look and feel in them!) but lately my joints won't allow heels! I need to do some accessory shopping!

If you want to come by the store one day we could try some different looks just so you could get an idea of what works with your body. Mamie I agree with Lisa.

I'd try a narrow belt first since the stripes on the dress are already wide. Maybe wear the dress out shopping and try belts some different on with it? The proportion of the jacket to the dress is perfect on you. Alternatively, a couple of long chain necklaces (sans belt) would lengthen you, too. For the second outfit, I think you need a pop of color on top. Maybe a colorful necklace that sits on your collarbone in a color that would pick up the pink in the shoes? Or some dangly earrings. Are the shoes flats? If so, pumps with the jeans would probably give you a leaner look.
