Suspenders are so fun! 🙂
Suspenders are such a good idea to jazz up an outfit and you really look like having fun wearing them. They are always on-trend and really a comfy alternative to belts. Since suspenders have both a fashionable and a prctical side you inspire me to start wearing them, too.
I’m really loving the suspenders. I think they add class to any outfit. I love wearing them to work
