wardrobe staples: skinny (leopard) belt

Good morning Friday!
welcome to week three talking about wardrobe staples... why you should intentionally plan your purchases, how to wear them, and wear to get them
(check out the previous trench and chambray shirt editions)

this week we are discussing the skinny belt, in particular the statement making leopard skinny belt. Sure you have a wardrobe full of fabulous basics, but how do you jazz them up and remix those functional items? A statement making, and figure flattering skinny belt in a perennial classic pattern: leopard  

I will leave it to some of my favorite bloggers to make my point:
{ 1 // 2 // 3 // 4 }
Pencil skirts, maxi skirts, sheath dresses, jeans... you name it, it is your leopard belt's future BFF. Carve out a waist, pull your outfit together, and make a statement... you are only one skinny leopard belt away from fabulousness!

Still looking to add a leopard belt to your wardrobe? Shop these hand picked items from all price-points (but most are under $40!)

Is the skinny belt in your toolbox?
Any pro-leopard belt owners out there?
If not, what is your belt de jour?

  2. Must you really remind me? I still slap myself in the face everytime I'm in F21 for not buying that cute skinny belt last year. I'll forever hate myself for it "hashtag dramaqueeeen!". Haha! x

  6. My leopard skinny belt definitely earns its place in my closet. I wear it all the time! I bought a cheap version and wore it out very quickly, so I invested in a quality calf hair version. Never regretted it.

  11. I own a couple skinny belts and my favorite was my leopard belt... I first got one from Old Navy and I went to a trip with my girl cousin and she was so persistant about me leaving my cute skinny leopard belt with her and I sure did (what was I thinking)... A week later I walked outta Forever21 with another one which I find just as cute as my first one.

  19. I have several belts but my skinny belt is navy blue. It works really well with my wardobe. I would like to get more but I don't think that I afford (or find room) for any more.

    Thanks for sharing,

  20. You're totally right - I actually have three skinny leopard belts and they're basically the only belts I wear! The leopard print has just turned into a neutral for me now :)

  21. Hmm, I have so many skinny belts but no leopard print ones. Love this post - you've given me new inspiration!

  22. The leopard belt is already one of my wardrobe staples and your are right. It pretty much works with everything. Another recent addition however has been a yellow skinny belt. The one from the Gap is made of soft leather and it looks so chic. So even though I love the skinny leopard, the skinny yellow has been seeing a lot of daylight lately. Thanks for sharing!

  27. I've been on the thrift hunt for a skinny leopard belt, but no luck so far! I might just have to cave and pay a little extra for one online. They add such a fun touch to an outfit :)

  28. I wear both of mine all. the. time! I have a less expensive calf hair one and a leather J.Crew that has a patent finish, I find that they consistently add a polished touch to any outfit. I should count up how many times I've worn them on my blog.

  29. i JUST invested in a leopard skinny belt from Ann Taylor Loft! The price was right and I knew I had to have it! It's leopard and orange and I love the pop of sass and style it adds to any outfit. Feels very trendy.
