Belts can do so much more than just help hold your pants up. They can bring colors and patterns to an outfit. They can create a waist in a dress or long shirt where there was previously shapelessness. They can take an ensemble from ho-hum to Hell, Yeah!
We seriously suggest all our stylish sisters have at least one fun belt in her closet, and this Four-In-Hand Belt, only $28 at Anthropologie, is perfect. The black and white pattern isn't limiting -- wear it with a bright color or even with some of the big floral patterns that are so popular right now. It comes in other colors, but this is definitely our choice.

Plus, the wood detail makes it easy to bring other earthy details in by way of bracelets, shoes, bags, and earrings. Go ahead -- play around with patterns like this and see what you come up with!
