Classic Coat Worn with Two Belt Options: Which Do You Prefer?
Coat: Mackage ‘Babie’ | Bodysuit: Wolford | Belts: Gucci & Saint Laurent (wearing a size 80 in both) | Denim: Levis (runs TTS) | Boots: Louboutin (budget-friendly here)
Keith and I took these photos on our way to dinner at one of our favorites, L’Artusi. I had snow boots on in the car, but quickly swapped into my boots before we went into the restaurant.
On a completely different note, I am sharing this outfit with two different belts: the Gucci, worn over my coat and my latest piece, a Saint Laurent belt. I didn’t actually wear it with both belts in real life. But it’s been fun playing around with one outfit, worn in a slightly different way and sharing the options.
Yesterday on Instagram, I started a conversation about the Gucci belt. You all may have noticed, I haven’t worn the belt in quite a long time. It became so saturated on Instagram, in NYC and in the blogging world, that I lost that lovin’ feeling . However, a commenter did point out that while it is in fact saturated in my world, that is not the case in other industries or even, other cities. Regardless, I cannot help how I feel and quite frankly, needed to give it a little break. With that being said, I do like how it looks with blazers and outerwear. It might be awhile before I wear it with denim again. But I don’t plan on selling it, like I do with so many other pieces I no longer adore.
So, which look do you prefer more: coat closed with oversized Gucci belt or the smaller, YSL belt?
In addition, I should mention, when I wore the YSL belt, I used the belt tie that the coat originally came with, not the Gucci belt.
