Belt Revival

Style Bee in a black tank and calf hair belt.

What’s better than finding an old item that’s both in style and awesome? Discovering that it still fits! During a recent, and by recent I mean current and ongoing, stay with my parents (renos have left our house sans shower), I was snooping in a closet and found a belt from my mid teen years. While I made almost exclusively bad style choices during those years I somehow managed to sneak a good one in. At least my present self thinks so. That one happened to be this epic multi print, calf hair AND embossed leather AND silver hardware belt that miraculously still fits. Ok it’s on the first hole but I’ll take it! I had no choice but to wear it immediately and yesterday’s heat wave was just the right occasion.

Something about this outfit made me crave an adventure. I spent most of my formative years horseback riding and summer always meant a jammed schedule of horse shows, training and traveling. So, maybe it’s the spirit of the belt? Most likely just heat induced restlessness.
