opinions needed on a potential ebay purchase
Permalink Closed

I have been wanting some colorful skinny belts like JCrew sells, but without the JCrew prices.  I found these on ebay (see link below).  You get 10 different color belts for $9.99 plus $16.00 shipping.  This figures out to about $2.60 per belt.  The seller has a 99.5% approval rating.  The thing that concerns me is that the length of each belt is 40".  I am a size 6, so that would be fine to wear through trouser belt loops, but I really want to wear them around my waist also.  I am just concerned it would look weird with so much belt left over.  Do you think it would look fine?  Also, what do you think about the auction in general?  Do you think it would be safe?  I have purchased from ebay before, but rarely.  Thanks.

Here is the auction:

I've been kinda looking for the same thing - I think they would look weird with the extra length around your waist

I love skinny belts and I think these are a good price. I might have to scoop them! (just kidding)

When I have a belt with extra length I've been copying the J Crew catalog and this blogger- Chloe (who has a fabulous blog BTW) hope she doesn't mind me posting the pic.
You sort of tuck and tie the ends of the belt in a messy cool way

I love the look

I love those belts.  Please review them if you decide to buy them  I saw a pic on a blog of a girl who wore a longer belt around her waist and she had just looped it.  Here is the link to the post with the pic of it.  It is really cute. 

P.S. ACK!!! I forgot to give the link, but I just noticed that Metric posted the exact pic I was thinking about.  Metric,  Chloe has awesome style, doesn't she?  I just wish I had a big enough bank account to make all the purchases she makes

Ah I love Chloe's blog. I've been following her for several months now. She puts the best outfits together and has really funny commentary.
