It’s fair to say that I am loopy about belts. I like writing about them and love wearing them. I honestly think almost every outfit could be improved by some type of belt. So, when I saw this beautiful strain of waist-wear on style.com from the 3.1 Phillip Lim Spring 2009 collection, I flipped. I stared at it forever trying to trace the looping of the leather to see how it was constructed. Now, if only I could create my own version of this incredible belt…mmm…looks as though this may be my next DIY project…
