Dazzling Dots

There's a whole lot of "bling" going on with my belt today. I saw the Anthropologie Crystallized Citrine belt featured on several different blogs and was automatically drawn to its sparkly panache. When I located the belt on the Anthropologie website, I was surprised that it hadn't already sold out. I contemplated purchasing it at the time, yet thought it would be best to wait for a sale. When it finally did go on sale, I didn't want to purchase any other items from Anthropologie, and due to their exorbitant shipping fees, I thought I would instead look for it at my local Anthro store. Luckily, the closest store to me had it in stock, however when I got there, I found the belt in the bottom of some basket (after searching for some time) and it had a bunch of stones missing.

The great thing about Anthopologie (which I've mentioned before) is that you can do a charge send for any item if it's not in stock online or at your nearest store. This is a wonderful option because you will not be charged shipping, which I loathe almost as much as sales tax. So I tracked down the belt, did a charge send, and within days it arrived at my doorstep complete with all the "dazzling" stones in place.

Yes, in some ways the belt is a little garish and it sort of reminds me of a Bollywood movie that exploded onto a belt, but it does add a little spice to an ordinary outfit. For example, I have worn this J. Crew Big Shot Dot skirt numerous times, but the addition of the belt adds a new dimension which is always refreshing.
