1960's snake skin and leather belt, prettier multi color belts here and here

When I was gifted this 1960's multi color leather and snake skin belt, I politely said "thank you". It was part of a vintage haul from my 90+ great grand aunt, whom I often refer to as my "Fairy Grandmother of vintage" or "vintage fairy". However, I did not love it. Maybe it was the colours or the snakeskin itself, I still don't know. However since starting the 3 month shopping ban at the beginning of January, I've been pulling clothing and accessories that are just in a closet limbo. This belt was in that closet limbo: in the closet, yet never worn. I thought I'd venture in it today and for now its a keeper.

  3. Funny how you may not like something at first and then one day it just click and looks great with an outfit!

  5. It's amazing what we can find when we just focus on what we own! :)

    I actually really like this belt - it does make quite a statement but pairing it with jeans and a white shirt are perfect to let it shine.

    Hope you are having a lovely start to the week :)

  6. The belt is such a neat piece and brings a fun pop of color, print, and texture to your look. I'm so glad I held onto pieces from my grandmothers and great-grandmothers because my taste has definitely changed over the years. Things I thought I'd never use have become favorites.

  7. It's nice to have a vintage fairy in your life! And I'm glad that not shopping inspired you to give the belt a try. it's a nice addition to a crisp white shirt. And hooray for being done with the first month!
