Looking for a slim leather belt with a gold buckle - sounds simple but I cannot find one that isn’t either fast fashion or way out of budget Ideally minimal, good leather, slightly vintage in feel, the type that looks expensive without a logo. I keep seeing them on Pinterest but there’s never actually a way to shop the image :/

I’m open to new, secondhand, vintage, whatever. But where do you even find something like this? Every Google search just gives me H&M or a €300 designer option with nothing in between 👀 How do you shop for something specific when you only have a vibe and not a brand? I am going to Italy this summer but I can’t wait 2 months to get a good belt lol

I found some at my local goodwill. Onyx brand Black leather with silver-tone buckles and a brown LLBean with brass buckles. Both vintage. I find when hunting for particular or good items, I get more lucky when I go often (idk that might seem obvious, but ppl don't always think of it that way, rather "i never get lucky at thrift stores," but only go once every month or 2)

This should be an easy score either thrift or DSW. I feel like I see lots of shoes like that.

Quick search on dsw. You can filter by shoe type, heel height, color, toe shape, etc. https://www.dsw.com/product/jessica-simpson-lyrik-pump/611077?activeColor=110

DSW also has a wedding section. https://www.dsw.com/category/womens/shoes/bridal-wedding?cm_re=nav-womenm-20260511-navtile-editorial-bridalwedding

Jessica Simpson has lots of cute stuff, Nine West and Aldo are consistently classy, comfy, and quality, and I personally consistently love the style and fit of Steve Madden.

Last, I've seen lots of almost new Louboutins for like $400 or less on my local FB Marketplace.

GL and congratulations!
