Fashion Friday: Loving Leopard.

I adore animal prints.  Leopard and Zebra are at the top of my list. I love to rock my Wildcat blouse from J. Crew.  ( Sold out, #1 below.)
Whenever I wear it, Mike calls me Peg Bundy.  So, it got me to thinking that there is a lot of tasteful leopard out there, but there is even more not-so-tasteful leopard.  First, let’s take a look at leopard done right.
This is obviously leopard gone wrong.  
Here are some tips to get it right:
  • Leopard print clothing should not be tight.
  • Stay away from spandex, rayon and velour.
  • Leopard print is a statement.  Don’t make too many statements in one outfit.
  • Stick to one leopard print piece per outfit.  (Steer clear of matching shoes, handbag, etc.)
  • For a more updated look, mix leopard print with bright fun colors, think green, blue, orange, pink.
  • Stay away from leopard athletic wear.
  • Everything in moderation.  
Here are some of my favorite leopard items of the moment.  Please do not wear more than one at a time. 😉
