  10. My favorite shade is probably Smokey Blue, it reminds me of the mountain ranges in the Smokies...love it there. (Of course, there's also the deep dark Sky Blue over the Rockies on a clear day, can't beat that!) Really cute belt, my teenage daughter would love it so I went to see the other belts and headbands at Heart of Light.
