In your pics your wearing a wide belt, but low on your waist. If you wear a skinny belt, it needs to be at your natural/high waistline to balance your frame. I kinda have the same problem since my hips are larger than bustline. :)<br /><br />-LadyM.♥Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249798386103704880.post-41130552645700571622013-03-10T18:34:45.438-06:002013-03-10T18:34:45.438-06:00Ruthven,

I won't ask your measurements (and clearly, you dress pretty modestly so it's hard to see your figure) but I would guess you are a "banana" type, or possibly guitar-shaped (you know, wider on bottom, smaller on top proportionately). However, I always preferred the word column shaped. Banana confuses me... it's like, does that mean you're a hunchback? Hahaha.<br /><br />I actually did a post on this a lonnnng time ago.<br /><br />Take care!Torahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10654068539647127728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249798386103704880.post-76630829784125767362013-03-09T22:23:10.536-07:002013-03-09T22:23:10.536-07:00I definitely agree with you about wider belts vers...I definitely agree with you about wider belts versus skinny belts! I have bigger hips than most girls my age, so I have to wear my belts at my natural waist, and wider belts seem to cinch better, where as skinnier belts seem to slide up, to where they are right under my chest. It looks really bad needless to say! That, and I have developed a strong love for skirts with belt loops! They keep belts from sliding up, so well! I'm so glad you asked this question, because I honestly felt kind of alone in this until now! Blessings to you Natasha!<br /> RachelAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02091557493038191499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249798386103704880.post-24139561783077459392013-03-09T22:02:12.861-07:002013-03-09T22:02:12.861-07:00Yeah, I'm a curvy hourglass shape, and I like ...Yeah, I'm a curvy hourglass shape, and I like wide belts too. I think it's because they hold themselves in place and prevent the fabric underneath from looking bunchy and unflattering. Also, for some odd reason, the wider a belt, the wider it makes your waist or hips or whatever part of the body you're wearing it on look. So if I wear a thick belt at my waist, it evens out the proportions and my hips and don't look so huge. :) That might be more than you were asking for, but that's my theory.<br />Cute outfit btw. I like stripes and lace together.<br />~Emily<br />fashionedanddesigned.blogspot.comEmilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02830482568866159485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249798386103704880.post-21743330569656046582013-03-09T21:27:42.739-07:002013-03-09T21:27:42.739-07:00From what I've seen, wide belts tend to give a...From what I've seen, wide belts tend to give a more slimming effect. I typically go with skinny belts, though, because I'm not particularly hourglass myself. Plus, I'm also kind of short. ;) Anywho, you look fantastic! I really like the whole sweater-belt-lace vest combo. :D<br /><br />~AnnaAnnacolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16881771350756128910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249798386103704880.post-16830353494851773622013-03-09T19:25:20.629-07:002013-03-09T19:25:20.629-07:00What a pretty vest.

But, wider belts tend to exaggerate the narrowness of my waist versus my ribcage and my hips. So I just avoid them all together! I think it depends on weight and height, to be honest.
