Simple, Casual Summer Outfit

Hey everyone!

It's been quite a while since my last outfit post, and I just wanted to share with you this simple, casual summer outfit.  This is a perfect outfit for just hanging out with some friends or running errands

I designed this outfit with the Black Center Flower Buckle from Belt Buckle Boutique as the centerpiece.  I decided to pair this belt with a pair of white jean shorts and a bright mint-colored v-neck t-shirt.  The white jean shorts are perfect for contrasting with the dark color of the belt and buckle.  Also, the rough texture of the jean shorts complement the texture and weathered appearance of the brown belt.  The mint shirt is really great for this casual summer outfit because it's such a fun and bright color.  I chose to do a twist on the usual green and brown earth tone combination by using the mint green color.  The belt really helps to separate the light colors of my shirt and shorts from each other.  Also, the flower buckle is perfect for adding a touch of femininity to this outfit.

Earrings:  PacSun

Necklace:  Gift

Shirt:  Abercrombie & Fitch

Sandals:  Forever 21

If you are interested in the buckle in this outfit, then you're in luck!  You can enter my giveaway to win a buckle from Belt Buckle Boutique :)  All you have to do is click here to enter.

Of course, the main accessory in this outfit is the belt and buckle.  So, to avoid competing with the belt and buckle, I chose more subdued pieces for my jewelry.  I put on a pair of gold and pearl flower studs to further the flower theme from the buckle.  Also, the studs work well with this outfit because the gold color coordinates beautifully with the mint-colored shirt.  I have on my silver butterfly pendant necklace that I always wear.  The necklace really adds to this outfit because the buckle is an antique silver color.  For my wrists, I chose a simple brown faux leather wrap bracelet with gold studs to imitate the look of the brown belt.  I finished off this outfit with my glittery gold and brown t-strap sandals.

I hope you enjoy this outfit!

Belt Buckle Boutique Review and Giveaway!

Hey everyone!

I recently discovered Belt Buckle Boutique, which offers a large selection of belts and buckles.  The aspect that I really enjoy about this company is it's versatility.  When you shop on the website, you have so many options! You can select the buckle and the belt that you think would best fit you and combine together wonderfully.  Also, you can buy several different buckles to pair with one belt because all of the buckles are interchangeable.  All you have to do is pick out the leather belt of your choice and the snap-on buckles you prefer out of their many different belt and buckle styles.  You can pick the buckle that works best for accessorizing with your outfit or you can pick the buckle that reflects your mood!  The belts and buckles offered by Belt Buckle Boutique work to really complete your outfits.

Belt Buckle Boutique offers western belt buckles, fashion rhinestone belt buckles, silver buckles, flower buckles, and more!  These are some buckles that really caught my eye!

I received a dark brown belt and the Black Center Flower Buckle to review!

The buckle is very beautiful and adds an understated touch of femininity to any outfit.  It is an antique silver color, and the round black center seems to be made out of enamel.  The design of this buckle is super intricate and detailed, reminding me of the Rococo Style that was very popular during the 18th century.  Sometimes, when I look at the buckle, it makes me think of a black sun with rays surrounded by a ring of light.  It feels like this buckle is very sturdy and made out of great quality material.  It also looks like this buckle would be super easy to remove if I wanted to move it to a different belt or use a different buckle with the dark brown belt.  This belt buckle fits all of the belts available for purchase at Belt Buckle Boutique as well as other belts up to 1 1/2" width.  The buckle is oval in shape and measures 3 1/3" x 3".

The belt can be worn with any bottoms because it is the perfect width.  Also, it is leather with a slightly rough texture.  The belt has a weathered appearance with light brown on the edges, making it perfect for dressing down any outfit.  This belt seems like it will last a long time, and it's a great addition to my closet.

Belt Buckle Boutique has generously offered to give away a belt buckle to one lucky winner!  Thanks, Belt Buckle Boutique!
