| Animal Print Belt from Banana Republic. On it's way to my closet as we speak! |
Pushing past the mental challenges of weight loss for a moment, transitioning from size to size can also be a challenge for your wallet. I've come to find that, give or take, every 10 lbs is a size. Now, if I were made of money or had the luxury of a sugar daddy, I would gleefully replace my wardrobe with each transition. I am neither CLEARLY so I have learned to rely upon a girl's best friend during weight loss...the Belt. Yup, the Belt.
I used to HATE belts. Mostly because when I was heavier I didn't want to call any attention to my non-existent waistline. However, I have found they come in quite handy in lengthening the life of my clothes from size to size. Have a dress that's a bit too baggy? A sassy belt looped around the waist takes it from frumpy to fab in no time. Pants sagging? A stylish belt not only holds them up but gives them that Annie Hall look that seems to be making a comeback. The belts themselves will last quite a while and can always be taken to a cobbler to add an extra hole or trim off some length. Don't break the bank either - I shop Target, Marshall's or if I am feeling the need for a new classic, my old standby Banana Republic. And don't forget about our friends at Goodwill or your local vintage store. Great prices and a virtual guarantee no one else will be seen on your Belt Way.
