    Okay, this is totally non-wedding related, but I'd love to hear some opinions from other fashion savvy ladies. Is this belt cute or weird? It's very big and bold. I just don't want to look like a ninja or a like a pro-wrestler wearing it.

    It comes in black and red. If you think it's cute- which color do you like better?

    I think that it's really cute, but definitely buy it in red. The black one does look kind of "ninja like" because it all blends together. With the red, you can definitely see that it is a cute belt with a bow :)

    THE RED looks bette then the rest. the gray unless you are skinny would  make your boobs look weird. and the blue just kinda looks like a sack with a bow tied around it.

    I definitely like it better in red. A nice pop of color on a darker dress!

    The red is better, but I'm wondering if big belts are beginning to fade as a trend?

    I think the red looks better too, but I wonder if this particular belt would be hard to pull off? Maybe it's just the pictures, but the pointy part of the belt combined with the big bow makes it look a little like a fancy cummerbund.

    i love it, especially with the grey dress/shirt(?) and the blue dress. if i was being practical, i'd by it in black. in red, if i felt like being a rebel.:-)

    I sorta like it, but I am honestly not sold on it.  Maybe b/c it's just not my style though.

    I do like it in black though.  Versatility in black.

    It's not really my style, but I like the blue with the red sash.  I agree that the gray one looks weird, and I'm not sure the belt goes with the red dress - either the styles clash or it's too much belt maybe?  I'm not really a big fashion person.  The belt makes me think of a geisha a little bit.

    It's not really my style - I lean more towards skinny/smaller belts.  I might have a different opinion if I saw it on a real person instead of a mannequin.  The red belt looks good on the mannequin but I'm not sold.

    I like it on the second two dresses but not the first one... that's one of those things you have to be reaaaaaaally careful about matching it with, but if you don't mind the attention, I think it's fabulous!

    I was about to say I didn't like it after seeing the first picture (I just don't like it with that dress/top I guess), but it's super cute in the other pics! I agree that the red looks best and less ninja-y.

    I love it (esp. in red)!. I think you'll need a long torso to pull it off, though; otherwise it could easily swallow you up.

    I think it really boils down to HOW you wear it.  It can be a hit or a total miss.  First outfit missed it; the latter two = totally cute.  With the two specific dresses shown, I agree red one is better match; but black one would definitely be more versatile!  My guess is you won't wear it a lot...so why not go with the impact and get red?
