If the belt is too long and looks awkward, Dawn has two easy hacks for petites: use fashion tape or you can take it from the bottom, tuck it in and create a nice loop. “I always put it towards the thigh, not towards the middle [for a stylish finish],” she adds.
In conclusion, I’m not intimidated to wear a belt again. As Dawn shared with me, a belt can spark creativity and be a helpful accessory for us petites. While most of the time it can be a necessity, it can also be an opportunity to experiment with my style. “A belt is an easy way to explore different textures and colors, especially if you’re not ready to do your clothes just yet. People are used to dressing real simple and they want to branch out, but can commit to buying a piece just yet, a belt is a very fun way to express that,” she explained.
