In My Bag: Cool Belts

Nothing updates a wardrobe like smart accessories. In addition to sporting new jewelry (today I'm wearing one of the Jennifer Grove signature lariats) I think belts are a great way to go. I just picked up JCrew's $28 braided rope belt (the salesperson was taking it out of the box when I spotted it and grabbed it -- it didn't even make it to the salesfloor -- and I proceeded to buy it and wear it out of the store looped through my cropped jeans (see below). The other one I scooped up is this $52 black leather belt from Banana Republic which I guarantee I will wear through the summer over dresses, jeans, etc.
