Fashion Tip: Belts, Asymmetrical Necklaces, and Red

I'm a big fan of the lasting trend of wearing belts higher than the waist.  The dress was already an empire waist little black dress but I really wanted to add red accents so that I didn't look like I was attending a funeral.  And because I hate wearing smokin' hot red shoes without red accessories of some sort to balance everything out.
Here's the fashion tip - that is a red belt I'm wearing.  I turned it around so that the belt buckle is hiding in the back underneath my cardigan.  Doesn't it make it look like a part of my dress instead of a belt?  Genius isn't it?!

I only have 1 picture of the whole outfit - sorry.  
I really loved my outfit.  Smokin' hot red peep toe patent leather shoes, my current fave necklace in red (goes back to my obsession with flowers and asymmetry), red belt that looks like a part of the dress, and a simple red cardigan (with "diamonds" for the buttons!) because well it is November and a bit chilly.
