Of the SATC Movie wardrobe, wonderstylist Patricia Field has been quoted as saying, “it’s all about the belt”?. We touched on the belt earlier this week, but we couldn’t help but notice as we flipped through screenshots from the film that Carrie seems to favor one such belt in particular – surprisingly, this studded black belt pops up on several looks throughout the film. Who would have thought Ms. Bradshaw could glean style inspiration from 15-year-old skater boys? We kinda love the idea of pairing the downtown punk with the uptown girl—the contrast between the girlie floral and the tough leather prevents a luxe-looking day dress from coming off as too prim. We recommend trying this look for a night out (rather than a day at the office), wearing a studded belt high on the waist of a brightly-colored sheath, with a pair of killer heels (of course).
Care to test-drive the trend? The good news is it won’t set you back as much as, say, a pair of Manolos. Above, a high-end and a budget version—so which is which?
On top, a Linea Pelle version which retails for $212.50; on the bottom, a synthetic studded belt from Vegan Store, $28.95
