Flower Power: Femme Belt Buckles for Spring
Posted on May 13, 2008 by admin
Everything’s coming up roses…and tulips and orchids. According to a recent Pittsburgh Tribune article, scarves, dresses, blouses and, of course, belt buckles are all subject to fashions’ current flower frenzy. It may have something to do with the return of Sex and the City–recall Carrie’s wonderfully wacky outfits and huge flower pins–but it may also just be Spring. Six months of black wool trousers, snow boots and an insulated overcoat that makes you look like the Michelin Man would drive even un-girly types to don pink rose petals.
But you don’t have to be Elle Woods to pull off these looks. The buckle at left follows the trend without taking it too far. Etched in plastic and reminiscent of bakelite, the tattoo-like design is simultaneously vintage and rock star. Clip on thin black belt, wrap around waist of pencil skirt, step into 3 inch croc heels and, voila! Up-to-the-minute fashion without having spent a fortune. As one online clothes hound noted, the best way to keep apace with trends is via accessories. And what better accesory than a beautiful belt buckle?
