Vintage Etienne Aigner Belt

Over twenty years ago, I dreamed of owning the Etienne Aigner belt that had tiny little signature A brads interspersed along the burgundy leather.  I would’ve worn it on the outside of whatever shirt or jeans I was sporting that day, just so people could admire the A brads.  It was too expensive for my $5.00 a week allowance.  And I wouldn’t have dared ask my parents to purchase it for me because I was busy working on them for a pair of Calvin Klein jeans.  Or was it Jordache?

I found this vintage Aigner belt at the America’s Thrift store in Rainbow City.  It is the very belt I coveted so many years ago.  It cost me fifty-nine cents.

The belt and I are at work today.  I am wearing it right now with a chambray peasant skirt and a beige fitted camp shirt.  Of course, I have it cinched on the outside of the shirt…so everyone can see the A brads.  I feel like I’m in middle school again.
