Fall 2008 Ready to Wear-Skinny Belts Part One

A recurring trend throughout the Fall 2008 Ready to Wear Collections has been belts. While thicker belts have been popular up until now, it appears that skinnier belts with more fitted pieces are becoming increasingly popular. This look is fairly easy to pull off. You can pop into your local thrift store or a Value Village and pick up some different colored belts to accessorize your outfits. Now that I am finished my summer class I will have more time to do some thrifting! I am not sure whether this is a good thing or a bad thing :) There will be more thrift find posts coming soon! I accumulated too many photos to do this in one post, so I will be doing another belts post tomorrow.

Bill Blass-This is a great printed dress. It can be dressed up or down. The purple belt just gives it a bit more pop!

Betsy Johnson-Need I say anything more? This dress is very functional. I think a red belt would look cute as well, without the red tights.

BCBG Max Azria-This dress is stunning. I love the layering and the detailing on the straps.
