Belt solutions:
Just found this really cool blog entry where the girl wears too long belts without punching new holes into them by weaving it back and forth. I'm definitely trying this out with some existing belts. Sounds perfect for all those belts that I bought with plans to punch holes, but never got around to doing.

Oh, I also found this super nifty tip too! i don't know why i never thought of using clear hair bands to hold the floppy part of my belt down! I've used rubber bands but that only works with camel colored belts. Yay, a multicolored solution.
