DIY: Fleet Ilya

The other day I saw a girl wearing a pair of suspenders hooked onto a belt around her waist instead of onto her pants. The look was so obnoxiously hip I knew instantly that I must replicate it. I was excited when Susie Bubble posted about Fleet Ilya because one of their belts/harnesses (?) has the same shape while looking like an actual accessory. This is key when trying not to look obnoxiously hip. The line has a ton of great belts and bags, but since I am on a tight budget and have no idea where they're sold I ventured on an ebay search to recreate the Fleet Ilya look myself. The result was these tan leather suspenders that I will have to find a belt to go with and will probably require some sort of a trip to a cobbler, but I think will turn out nicely.
