    While we\u2019ve seen Belly\u2019s style evolve over five years (in the series\u2019 timeline), she consistently knows the power of a well-placed elevated staple. Take her lead by adding a string of simple pearls to your jewelry dish. If the classic piece is a bit too traditional for your tastes, try selecting a necklace with varying sizes of pearls or gilded hardware.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n

      Amid a rising wave of \u201870s-inspired aesthetics this summer, dark denim is easily atop our wishlists. Belly also seems to know the statement that micro shorts can make\u2014and here, she balances them with a pared-down striped tee. It\u2019s a bit retro, yet still wearable.\n<\/p>\n

              Maximalist eyewear is already having a moment, so we couldn\u2019t help but drool over the pair that Belly dons on campus in the new TSITP<\/em> season. (In her own down-to-earth spin, she contrasts the attention-commanding silhouette with an undercover oversized hoodie and bike shorts.) Try the low-lift style with a chic, red tortoiseshell silhouette, or opt for a two-trend combination with a guava-tinted pair.\n<\/p>\n
