This Etro belt is all kinds of awesome, mainly because it looks exactly like something you could find in a thrift store, or possibly a Mexican border town, for $12. It adds just the right touch of tacky, which is often what it takes to make an outfit work. But this non-thrifted belt is gold-plated (why???????), at least partly explaining why it rings in at $1,250. Note to self: keep looking for the thrift store version.
