Belts are seriously underrated accessories. Not only do they serve a practical purpose but they also can transform an outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. Adding a belt is one of the best ways to really put your stamp on an outfit and totally change the look. Take Aria’s dress for example. We absolutely LOVE this dress on its own. It is a great, figure-flattering basic… but by adding a statement belt, this dress takes on a whole new personality. It says “ARIA”, right? The belt adds color, character, and accentuates the proportions of her entire outfit. If you love this look as much as we do, you can easily recreate this look at home. Belts can be inexpensive and you can find great options everywhere. From malls to vintage stores, there are really no limitations. Look for belts with great patterns, colors, textures and personality and you will be on your way to creating your own “Aria” outfits in no time.
