Trend Watch: Leather Belted Brides!

Someone please get me a paper bag, this trend watch is bound to make me hyperventilate! You might want one too when you catch a glimpse of these brides using leather belts to complete their look! Deep breaths. The gorgeousness is only beginning, so keep that paper bag handy! If I could do my wedding again, leather belts would most definitely be a part of it! Check out how different belts can create a variety looks for these brides. Not only do they make a statement, they are perfect for any summer or fall wedding, giving that relaxed, fashion statement that so many of us adore.

Did I mention there are also leather-belted bridesmaids?! I told you, you'd need that paper bag. What a great gift idea! Your bridesmaids can re-use them after the wedding, and we all know what a big trend belts are right now! If you see me out and about, I can pretty much guarantee you that I'll be cinched with a belt. Now get ready for some serious eye candy!

 This is perfection to me!

Here are a few belts that I've found online that anyone could use to add that extra bit of personality to their dress, give as gifts to your bridesmaids, or just throw on over a sweater for a great every-day look! 

The first two can be found at Nordstrom.com   &  Third little number is from Old Navy

First & Last at American Eagle.com     &     Middle Multistrap Belt at Polyvore

I'd also reccommend hitting up the local thrift stores and one of my favorite shops Fringe & Fray downtown to hunt for some unique belts! Belts are so versitile, pop it over a t-shirt or sweater to add definition to your waisteline and turn a ho-hum outfit into a wow-fit. (okay, that was cheesy... sorry). This is my go-to trick for updating any wardrobe or outfit for a minimal investment! My belt obsession is getting almost as bad as my scarf obsession, and that's pretty intense. 

I can't wait to see some real weddings using leather belts! 

Until Next time, all my love!
