How To Wear It: Vintage Chain Belt
Thinking laterally is important for those of us who like to wear vintage treasures in fresh new ways. Sometimes, thinking vertically helps too. Example: I have a nice silvery circle-link belt I'll wear on a LBD, but otherwise it sits underused and underappreciated in the closet.
Then I realized that I could move the belt two feet up and wear it as a necklace. Ching ching!
Next time you're in a vintage/secondhand shop, have a look at the belts with your waist not in mind. Would anything work, doubled or tripled up, at neck level? Happy hunting!
