Looking for something a little bit of country? This Kimchi Blue Scalloped Belt will do the trick. It’s slim, detailed, and tan colored. Like the model who is wearing it above, it stands out perfectly against dark colored jeans or dark colored clothing. I have not had the chance to wear mine yet, but I am definitely am excited to. Paired with my Steve Madden cowboy boots, I know I will have the right amount of countriness in my outfit. Make sure to note that this belt will most likely fit around your waist, not your hips. I was able to find this priced at $9.99 in-store, $16.99 online, $24.00 original.

With the recent trend of adding a belt to every outfit (or almost every outfit), I have been on the lookout for a good belt. By my definition, a good belt is one that I like, is not too ostentatious for my liking, fits well, and can complement more than one outfit. It also must have the ability to dress up or dress down an outfit. With too many requirements, my quest to seek a good belt has at most been futile, that is, until I found the Ecote Macrame Leather Belt. Contrary to the “Online Only!” statement on the product page, I bought this belt in-store and on sale from Urban Outfitters for $9.99 (online sale price $16.99, originally $34.00). It looks exactly how it is pictured. I bought mine in black, but it also comes in brown. The black color gives this belt a basic look, but on closer examination the macramé detailing can add a more stylish touch to a plain outfit. (The macramé detailing on the brown belt is more visible.) When I tried this belt on, I found it to be a bit on the short end and it would only fit around my waist, not my hips (like a regular belt). Reviews online suggested buying one size up from what you would normally wear to make this belt fit around the hips. It is okay to go with a bigger size because, unlike a traditional belt, this belt does not have actual belt holes so it can be adjusted to any size. Although I wish my belt would fit around my hips so I can wear it around my pants/jeans, I am quite satisfied with this latest addition to my wardrobe.
