Getting belted

vanillafluffyFor the last several years, this has been my favorite belt. However, because I've lost in the neighborhood of40 pounds since I got it, it doesn't fit any more. It is NOT adjustable. It's made by the company that has the site, but I got it from Torrid, who apparently got it especially in plus sizes, since the manufacturer's idea of XL is about 8" away from girding my waist.
This is unfortunate, because GK gave me a great long black rayon skirt with a taffeta sort of finish. I'd like to wear it with a cinched-in top, but alas, my beloved belt does NOT cinch me in any longer, Torrid doesn't have it, and Little Earth doesn't have it in my size.
Alas, WalMart doesn't *quite* go up to my size. This morning, after a quick visit to the C's---they like to reassure themselves that their dogs still love me before departures---I headed over to Fashion Bug, and I was Very Good. I didn't even try on anything except belts, and of their rather paltry selection, I choose this one:
I have an event to go to on Saturday, and I'm undecided as to which top to wear with it. Ah, well, time enough to choose, and I expect I'll be elegantly turned out.
Hmm...if I go with green, I can further accessorize my ensemble with The Hat....
No, not the one from my icon!
