Drawing inspiration from the early [90s](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elf-cosmetics-x-caboodles), this transparent waist belt is the perfect summer accessory for girls on the go. Nasty gal's compact purse is modeled after [retro fanny packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retro-series) and features a see-through design that is nostalgic and edgy.

This product boasts two pockets that vary in size and is priced at a $178 rate. Its convenient size is great for storing essentials like one's phone, wallet and keys and is a great option when heading to a music festival. Fans of [small carryalls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleo-bag) will love this product that references vintage styles from the past.

Nasty Gal's evolution into one of the world's leading fashion e-retailers started with vintage goods. The brand's blend of vintage and contemporary pieces makes it a one-stop-shop for the urban fashion lover who isn't afraid to experiment with her look.
