The bare accessory

The take on the fanny pack has never seen better days! First of all, its name "fanny pack" is now in the past along with its 80's design.  The bare accessory is now being called the belt bag or the belt purse.  High-end designers have been reinventing it and thank goodness not only has its name been dropped, but its parachute material of nylon has been updated to something more lavish like leather.  There is no reason to feel discomfited about this spring/summer 2011 trend because I could honestly say that I love its new design, fabrication, and its sophisticated style!

As shown in the images above, the belt purse is practical and versatile.  It can easily be worn casually on your hips or directly on your waist for a more sophisticated style.  I found a Michael Kors belt purse at TJ Maxx for an unbelievable price of $24.99.  It has a combination of brown leather trim and beige canvas material. It's simple, chic, and for the price...it's unbeatable and I am speechless...
