Gotta have a skinny belt
September 10, 2009
Each season, there’s one item I think I have to own, the essential piece to update the clothes I already have that can be worn with all kinds of outfits.
This year, I’m searching for the perfect skinny belt, maybe something in a faux snakeskin or animal-print calf-hair. Maybe mix it up over a fitted jacket or with a long loose tee, a sweater or jeans. Some of my favorites are pictured above. From top to bottom: metallic Chloe belt with a shirt-waist dress ($77 at shopbop.com), navy faux croc from Lands’ End ($29.50, also available in gold and green as well as basic black) and a studded slim style from Anthropologie, $24.
Do you have ideas for a must-have piece? Share them with me in the comments section of the blog.

While I grew up in small-town Kentucky I’ve always been fascinated with the cosmopolitan world of high fashion. On the other hand, I love a bargain and the thrill of shopping for just the right piece.
I have a degree in English from the University of Kentucky, and since 2002 I’ve written a column for the Lexington Herald-Leader about shopping, beauty and fashion. During that time I’ve interviewed everyone from designers to boutique owners about trends and style. And I’m still forever searching for the next big sale.

I think the must have item for me is a pair of boots with a buckle. I just bought new Uggs in a brown oil skin kind of leather with two buckles. So cute!
