Don't throw your old computer mouse away just yet because GettingWeddy can transform it into a new belt.
GettingWeddy has taken worn out computer peripherals and given them a new, non-technological purpose. The talented designer got the idea for the project after going through old boxes and discovered that the size of these tech items are the same size as a belt buckle. So GettingWeddy got straight to work and has so far transformed a Compaq and three Mac mouses into belts. The supplies are limited, since not everyone has several busted computer pieces lying around; so if you are interested in getting one for yourself, I suggest you order now. Riding the geek chic wave has never looked so stylish!
