Grosgrain Trend

Recently I wrote about grosgrain ribbon on Solevoice.  It’s part of a series I’m doing … each post defines a particular term or phrase from the Solevoice lexicon, gives some interesting facts or history about it, and suggests how it’s used and/or what shoes exemplify it.  I’m calling it “Shoestruction” … shoe + structure + education … what do you think?

Anyway, I thought it ironic that I wrote that post earlier this week, even though grosgrain ribbon isn’t exactly an huge trend this season, and then today I discovered someone else posted about grosgrain ribbon trends too!  Kristen from Style Dash asks “Why are you wearing this?”

It’s a bold, 1 1/2″ grosgrain ribbon belt from Old Navy (right).  You can choose from two sizes (S/M or L/XL) and four colors, and at just $9.50, I’m personally tempted to get more than just one!
