Oh, the Wonderful Things A Belt Can Do...

I was so not going to do this link up this week.

I have been feeling blah and uninspired in the wardrobe department and when Nina charged us with the task of stepping outside the box, I was not ready to step up.

That is until I saw her post this morning and inspiration threw me a hail Mary.  You see, I have a blouse in my closet that looks like a sack.  I bought it years ago when I was watching Project Runway and saw the designers create this blouse for Sarah Jessica Parker's (my favorite style icon) now defunct line, Bitten.  I just  had to have it.

Have you ever heard of Bitten?  Steve and Barry's is the retailer that carried it, also now defunct, probably because ALL the items sold there were only $8.99.

I had no idea how to wear this blouse until I read Nina's blog this morning:

See what I mean?  It's a sack.

 I don't know if you can tell, but this top has a scarf sewn into it, so like Nina, I just threw my woven belt over it and voila:

I think the belted scarf rocks!

It has pockets! (Please ignore my supremely messy classroom.)

Here I am pondering the messiness of my classroom; it's packing time.

Thanks so much to Kim for taking my picture for RMRS.  I can't wait to see what everyone else is wearing this week!
