"A couple of tips about when you're trying to match the buckle and your piece. When you have your main piece that's going to be the focus of your buckle. This is the one that we're going to use today. Make sure that you bring it with you when you go shopping for your buckle. When you get out there, sometimes you think that's going to look great, it's going to go together. Then you buy it, you bring it home, and turns out it doesn't. For instance, sometimes you find a buckle you really like and you think is really cool. Then you bring it home and you think, actually you know what, it's too wide for that. It doesn’t really go. The metals don't really go. This one is just a little bit off. You really need to see them together. Basically, when you're shopping, whatever you've picked out first, make sure you bring it with you so you can sort of hold it up and see what it looks like. You want to try to match the shapes and again, the metals. That's just a little tip about shopping and matching up the pieces and the buckles."
