I 100% hoped to shoot my new belt on its own, because it 100% deserves it, buuuuut with this unexpected cold, it just didn’t happen. I thought, pictures of me using it “in the wild” would actually work great. Sooo all of these are actual iPhone shots. I also didn’t want to make you wait for me to shoot it, because it is too good to put it off another week.
I believe I shared the aria belt bag when I first bought it, but it also made my December favorites blog post. To be honest, I was on the fence about the whole belt bag trend… I got the practicality of it, but wasn’t so sure about the fashion scene… Senreve (a brand I’ve been talking about all year long!) actually has TWO chic belt bag options. I went with the Aria, which includes it traditional closure, while the Coda belt bag has a zipper. Both are cute, but in the end, I fell for the more traditional look of the Aria, though I actually prefer the zipper closure. Maybe I need both!! Choose either one and get $50 off yours w/code ELLEMULENOS!

Up first, I’m wearing it its traditional sense - through my belt loops. I wore it to walk around town in and it was perfection. Just be mindful of where you end the loop, so you can make it easier on yourself to go to the restroom. Hah!
Secondly, I’m wearing it the “cool way”, which is how I intend to wear it in Europe next year! I really like wearing it like this, because it is pretty much a crossbody purse, just a bit more practical! I wore it like this to Universal Studios last weekend and it worked like a charm.

Last but not least, I removed the belt and replaced it with a gold chain, to wear it like an actual purse. I like doing this for an evening out or when a belt bag doesn’t go with my outfit. I shared it like this on this instagram post and on this blog post! I first bought this chain for my Senreve envelope clutch, but that was before I realized Senreve made this chain. I’m sure theirs is 100% better quality than mine, but you can’t beat the price!

UPDATE 2020: I didn’t realize until this year that I could also style it as a shoulder bag! Just use the belt strap like you did the chain and HELLO IT IS THE CUTEST SHOULDER BAG. This might be my favorite way to wear it yet!

I don’t think I have a favorite way of styling it, because they are all great in their own way! Which way is your favorite? Here’s a quick video of the 3 ways I shared on the blog today. Enjoy!! Don’t forget to use code ELLEMULENOS for $50 off your entire Senreve if it is over $300.
