It looks like spring is finally here.  That means it is time to bring out your dresses and start looking fashionably sassy.   However, I know that in this economy, we can’t spend as much money on shopping as we use to.  So here is a little fashion tip for this week. 

 This season, you will see a lot of silk satin ribbon belts.  For most designer dresses, simply by adding a ribbon belt means they can also add up the dollar sign on the price tag.  So why waste the extra cash when you can do it yourself. 

 You can do a single wrap of satin ribbon along a dress you already have hanging in your closet.  However, this season you will see more of the double wraps; which typically takes about 3 yards of silk satin ribbon.  Wrap the ribbon around your waist twice and end it with a bow in the front left or right side.  Then “Ta Da”!  You’re all set for trendy day.
