Preppy Potato Maggie Belt: I have a love-hate relationship with belts. For awhile, I was stuck on them and would not wear jeans without one. Then I totally departed from them all together.

So I searched for awhile for one - who knew that could be so difficult? If you are like me and searching for belts, check out Preppy Potato. They have an array of styles and price points to satisfy your needs. My favorite is the Canterbury Collection, which has a rugged yet feminine feel to them.
