There are so many accessories that can take your look from drab to fab in seconds… a great statement necklace, a bright bold lipstick, show-stopping sunglasses, or even a fabulous belt. While I’ve invested in all of these things, of course, my most recent purchase of a fabulous belt has so far been my favorite. Belts are kind of the red headed step-child of the accessories world, never getting the credit they deserve…until now!
I’ve had so many outfits that looked like they needed a little something extra, and while killer shoes or an over-the-top necklace could sometimes pull the look together, a metallic belt was the cherry on top. I first discovered my love for said accessory while perusing fashion blogs for work. Liz Cherkasova, of Late Afternoon Blog, (pictured below) paired a gold metallic belt with an amazing black jumpsuit and I fell in love instantly!
Within hours I was searching my mall for a belt just like hers with zero success. If you are like me, you need instant gratification. I loathe online shopping for that reason alone. I knew exactly what I wanted, but couldn’t find it anywhere. So, I wanted one of these belts so bad I decided it was worth the 5-7 business day wait.
When the belt finally showed up at my doorstep from Asos.com, it was exactly what I was hoping for! It did just what I wanted it to, pulled every look together flawlessly! It’s a great update on a classic look.
These are just two of the ways I’ve styled this belt in the past. If you’re looking for a metallic belt of your own, Asos has the widest variety, but Top Shop has a couple great ones as well. Already have one of these bad boys? Tweet me some pics of how you style these belts to @The_RachelRoss! Can’t wait to see your looks!
