"The words that we attach to our experiences become our experience."

I know I shouldn't be posting right now because I've got a decent amount of reading to get done for class tomorrow, but I'm very eager about this post for some reason.  It may be because I'm impressed with my InDesign capabilities today, or because I'm particularly excited for spring, but regardless I'm excited to post.

When I can't sleep at night, I tend to peruse countless fashion sites looking for the newest trends that catch my eye.  This definitely doesn't help me sleep.  In fact, I usually end up with a headache from squinting for hours, and I'm usually to excited thinking about my outfit for the next day or things I want to buy to ever fall asleep.  Regardless, I do it anyway.

Last night as I did my perusing, I was happy to see the skinny belt trend making an appearance for spring 2011.  I'm a big advocate of belts, but I can never seem to wear a thick belt appropriately.  For some reason, they don't seem to work on me.  The thin belt however is something I definitely want to start incorporating into my wardrobe.  In fact, I bought two the other day at Forever 21 before I even came across the trend on all of my favorite sites.  Luckily, I have these two now because after seeing the many ways to add them to an outfit I'm pretty eager to throw one on.  I did wear one the other day to class over a flannel as a cinch belt if you will, and it really made the outfit.  Sometimes a little accessory can go a long way. 

The skinny belt will be fun for spring because you'll be able to wear it as a cinch belt or as a regular waist belt.  I think jean shorts and a white t-shirt with a leopard or crimson red skinny belt will absolutely make for a perfect, casual (but still trendy) ensemble.  Or, a skinny belt over a maxi skirt if you're trying to really keep up with the trends -now that is a look I'm excited about.

And now it's back to something not so exciting...63 pages of reading on Meditation and the Martial Arts - wish me luck!
