Kim Kardashian Just Wore the Same Belly Chain You Had in High School — See Photos

So many Y2K trends have been coming back over the last year or two that they're starting to feel like a glitch in the matrix. Kim Kardashian is very much on board the early-2000s-all-over-again train, with multiple not-quite-vintage manicures in the past few months. But like Megan Fox, Kardashian's Y2K proclivity extends into accessories, too.

On Thursday, March 2, Kardashian posted a carousel of photos in which she's modeling a teeny-weeny black bikini in what appears to be a rooftop shower, which is so weird because I do that every Wednesday, too. The somewhat mysterious caption reads, "search for soul," and while I'm not sure if I found the soul in question, I definitely found an even teeny-weenier belly chain.

You may recall that belly chains were a huge trend back when I was upset about the popularity of low-rise jeans the first time around. And while I'm personally still Team Mid-to-High-Rise, I would never deny Team Low-Rise the chance to joyfully revisit such an iconic Y2K staple. Kardashian has clearly been making a strong case for the trend's triumphant return — both today and a couple of weeks ago.

While Kardashian wears a gold belly chain with a little cross charm in her latest photos, a shoot with sister Khloé Kardashian on February 13 reveals she also has a silver belly chain. And it's worth noting that, in both sets of photos, Kim is wearing matching anklets — another beloved jewelry trend of yesteryear.

Although now may not be the ideal time to break out the belly chain in most parts of the country, where winter is still going strong, if Kim can keep this torso-embellishing accessory on the radar for a few more months, we foresee a major summer belly-chain moment.
