Earlier this week one of the gruesome twosome was losing her trousers, cos she's a skinny minnie and I hadn't remembered to put a belt on her.
Once we arrived at Jellys her trousers were constantly round her ankles so I popped out to Claire's accessories on Chapel Walk intending to find a belt but actually saw braces the second I walked in the door.
So, I bought some funky braces with pink stars and pulled them to the tightest fit and they are perfect. The girls are 2.5 and slightly tall, just in case you fancy some for your kids.

They've got various designs, neon colours and even some black ones with skulls and crossbones and neon green ones which would be nice for boys in case anyone feels left out. I think they had plain black too.

My girls were so keen I had to go and buy another pair so they don't fight over who gets to wear them.
Not ideal whilst potty training, I can tell you.
Otherwise, I thought I'd share cos kids belts are hard to come by but the braces look so funky!
And, for lifetime value, they'd probably fit, being adjustable, up to adulthood!

The neon ones were £4 and the others are either £4 or £5 BUT, there's a price tag problem so make sure you only pay the price on the tag!
