Nothing is more optically waist-trimming than a black belt with a big bow at the center. It will make your waist look one to two inches smaller for sure, because the big bow draws attention to the center, plus the optical effect of black you always knew.
I'm doubling the black bow for the current girlcore trend. My peach blouse features a black velvet bow under the neckline. For those of us who have aged out of pink bows, black bows are not too juvenile for us.
Better yet, this ensemble I've put together can be easily taken into fall. A tulle skirt can work very well with autumn wardrobe staples. Just swap fisherman sandals for boots and layer a cropped jacket over the short-sleeve blouse.
Happy shopping for transitional pieces!
