details matter: belts Tweet

I have been wearing a lot of grey and black since getting overly busy at work, and on the one hand it does make my life easier, allowing my mind to chew on greater questions than outfits. On the other hand, I desperately love colors and patterns, just as much as I hate the dark, uninspired office clothes that make up London's streets five days a week, and so I need to do something clever, just to feel better. I do play with layers and cuts where possible, but there's nothing quite like the right accessories. Here, two belts: top one in leopard pattern picked at Dorothy Perkins for some irrelevant amount, and bottom one in leather patchwork (silver, brown, gold, orange, cyan and I forget what else) found at a pop-up market on the South Bank years ago. The rose is a hairpin, actually, meant to bring the belts closer together, color-wise, and then in tune with my red shoes. Not bad for a Tuesday full of meetings, and not one extra second spent wondering what to wear.
