The Statement Piece

This gorgeous statement belt was placed in my hand by fellow blogger and thrifter Helene. Over the summer, she invited me to take part in Housing Works $25 Buy The Bag event. This was unlike any thrifting that I've ever experienced in my life and I've been thrifting for about 2 years. There were so many items and people that it took me for a world wind. I only recommend it for true thrifters, Beginners should skip this until they've gotten the rookie feel out of them! The event required lots of patience and a great eye. Helene has both and when she saw my face full of bewilderment she calmed by nerves by saying "Look at this great belt!" She made my day :-)

I love versatility so this is how I wear this belt, for outerwear with my favorite trench and also for a simple outfit that needs a bit of a statement. That's what accessories should always give. Options!
