-Even if you can manage not to lose the thing, it screams fashion victim.
Don't carry more than two bags at once
Don't overstuff your bags.
Do wear a belt with a gold buckle if you are wearing gold jewelry.
Do think twice before you wear a print scarf with a print outfit.
Do cover elastic waists with belts or scarves.
Do wear a belt whenever you wear clothing with belt loops.
Do replace belts when they start to look shabby.
-Or take them to a shoe-repair store for reconditioning.
