Not Just for Wrestlers Anymore

So, maybe I'm just super weird (ok, let's be honest, I am super weird), but I used to love watching wrestling. 

Grown men in ridiculous costumes? Check
Hilarious "plots"? Check
MTV instructional show? Check
and, above all, shiny shiny belts!  

Talk about an accessory, those belts are insane...ly awesome!  And Balmain agrees.  Just check out this couture version he had walk the runway.
But alas, like many of the shiny things that catch my eye, it's horribly impractical.  Womp womp.  Luckily I spied some options that are easier to wear outside the ring.  A few options for your closet are below.

While I don't own any of these personally, I have added two others to my closet collection.

                         

The first, the Roxanne Thin Rose Gold Plate Belt by Nicholas is available at ShopBop.  It was also featured in my With a Twist blog post.  
The second is The Bold & The Beautiful Belt by Mettle made from upcycled silver.  Sadly, you can't get this exact belt anymore, but its gold tone twin is, again, at ShopBop.  I think it looks fantastic when paired with a solid hued dress, as seen below.


Whatever you pick, now you can feel like a champion (even at the grocery store).
