So I´m not extremely crazy about the unnecessary belt myself. On the other hand, are accessories ever necessary? What is the purpose of those ear rings you are wearing, that cool bracelet you bought last week at that street market, or those sunglasses that you wear after 10pm when the sun is nowhere to be found? We all try to find a look that suits us, or maybe we are trying to make a statement, some people are able to create a new look and succeed, others fail (sometimes horribly), and others simply copy and paste. But that´s the beauty of fashion, there´s always somebody who is going to love it, and somebody who is going to hate it. So let´s share the love and hate for the different accessories, but never under any circumstances, criticise its unnecessaryliness.
