Make it Better Mondays: Neon Stripe Belt

Skirt: Target, Skirt Thrifted, Wedges: Thrifted Aldo, Belt: DIY 

Within the past year belts have become one of my favorite accessories. I find that I'm constantly cinching in my waist and love having different styles to really make a statement. This skinny belt, that I'm sure most of you probably have somewhere in your closet too,  was easily transformed with just a bit of polish. I love that by adding a simple bright stripe, this belt adds a fun pop of color and knotting up the belt creates a really pretty line.


Here's how to Make it Better:


1. Tape off the area of your belt that doesn't need to be painted
2. Paint your belt with polish of choice...let 1st coat dry, then apply a 2nd
3. Take off tape
4. Ready to wear...pair it with everything and have fun.
