Fashon can be so much fun and creative.  While one person may look at a design and think it is the best look ever.  Yet, someone else sees it as the most bizarre outfit known to the world.

One aspect that can make-or-break the appearence of clothing is the accessories which is chosen to be worn with the piece.  For formal attire it is usually far different than casual.  Occasionally an accesory from formal maybe employed wirh casual creating an unique look. Or it is reversed and a simple casual item can make the formal garment stand out.

Today I am wearing a critical piece with my clothing, it is also often the oldest part of my attire.  Not because it is casual or formal, rather simply, because it works.  That item is known as a belt.

Functionality is key when it comes to everyday accesories.  Imagine a backpack without straps.  Pants without a belt becomes a similar folly.  Tool belts, safety belts, drive belts, and yes, even waiste belts part in our daily lives.

So today I am thankful to have my good old belt.
