When I was a little girl, there was a certain period when I always wore dresses or skirts and would *not* wear pants. When someone knocked the sand table over on me at nursery school, and they forced me to change into the school's 'spare' set of pants, I wanted to spend the rest of the day hiding in a maintenance closet. During this phase, I also *had* to wear a belt every day. I simply would not leave the house without the illusion of a waist.
There was always a side of me that was fascinated by growing up. And even now, when I put on a pair of high heels or do my make-up, there's this little girl inside of me who says, in whispered awe....'Wow. I can't believe I'm allowed to wear this stuff! Yay!' And I love that. Getting dressed, and adding the finishing touches is a treat. And I savor it.
So, in her honor, here are some beautiful belts. Little girl, enjoy!
These are all from big, corporate retailers, so I'll spare the links...
But, I found them all through this site right > here
I was pretty excited to grow up too! I always played house with my sisters. Though, I never really dressed up in heels and stuff. Now, I can't wear heels :( But, I love wearing dresses! Thanks for the belt inspiration, I desperately need a couple cute ones!

I seem to have misplaced my waist somewhere, otherwise I'd covet the rugby stripes. xox, P.

Hey all-- the rugby one is from ...I think...forever 21. The problem I have is that i think it's probably not well made and vinyl-y...so...exercise caution!
