A hot trend to get your hands on for spring are obi belts. We first noticed this trend while flipping through the St.John Knits spring 2011 lookbook, but have no fear as you don't need a St.John's budget to rock it. A belt is a belt! Cheaper versions can be found at Urban Outfitters and www.bluefly.com.
Obi, literally, means sash and is what the Japanese use for traditional Japanese dresses and kimono's. It's a creative way to add a fashionable twist to a blouse, pant, or silk short.
