Hello friends!
Today's outfit is a bit unusual for me in that I am NOT mixing prints. For once I'm dressing it straight- with one pattern only and for today it is the always stylish and perfect for Fall, the ANIMAL PRINT. The inspiration was my recent SCORE! from Freestyle Clothing Exchange. I've been wishing for animal print booties, but they have been beyond my meager budget. Ok, I'm supposed to be on a shopping ban, but when I saw the $30 price tag- the ban was temporarily lifted. They were EXACTLY what I wanted.
For a quick + easy ensemble, I pulled out my chunky knit animal print cardi and a vintage scarf and threw on the uniform of a black t-shirt and shorts. And feeling quite the style-gal-pal with my abundance of kitty-kitty. Now I'm gearing up to pair the shooties with some plaid, some stripes and some serious lace. Anything. Everything. Because these shoes/booties are PURR-FECT.
Oh, and since shopping ban was momentarily ignored, I also stopped by Crimson + Clover and had some fun with the latest jewelry offerings by Porkchop Rules. I purchased 2 rings, and an amazing white leather cuff with a brass anchor buckle on it. You can barely see it in the pictures, so next time I wear it, I need to show a close up of it- it is super sweet!

I approve of lifting the ban for those shooties. You will definitely get your money's worth if you haven't already.

Your new booties - I die. And bans are made to be broken for shoes such as these. You look smashing!
ReplyDeletelol, i started giggling when i read that this outfit is unusual for you cause you're not mixing prints. =P
ReplyDeletecan we just discuss how impressed i am that you were able to get a jacket and shoes, both leopard, that look good together. sometimes mixing leopard print on different items can be tough cause leopard varies GREATLY from item to item. but those two look like they were made for each other without being exactly the same and thus too matchy matchy. =P
you look fierce and hot. and i miss you!
i need that jacket! and love your $30 booties. what a steal. you rock...i mean, roar!
ReplyDeleteMEOW! So sexy! ;)
ReplyDeleteshooties=cute!!! Must be a meow-meow kind of day, love this look.xx.
ReplyDeleteThose shoes are gorgeous- I want some like that! (And, so that's what a 'shootie' is.. I've heard the name but never knew what it was referring to). Love the leopard x 3!!

That cardi is the bee's knees lady!
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT! I do love leopard print, and I really like the way you've combined the leopard with leopard, but then calmed it all down with denim and a black t-shirt.
ReplyDeleteDenim & animal prints never go wrong together! :)
ReplyDeleteThose shooties called for a lift on the shopping bans all right!! <3
You look really awesome! I looooove leopard print and have been looking for something in this pattern forever.
ReplyDeleteActually, I did find the perfect thing last year -- an A-line leopard print cotton skirt at Ross. I almost bought it, but I too was on a shopping ban (self-imposed) so I didn't. And I regret that to this day.
When you see something perfect like your booties you have to get it, I think. Otherwise you'll always wish you had.
I am DIGGING this look!! HOney, it is HAUTE!! I have a tough time sticking to shopping bans as well. ;)
ReplyDeleteHi lovely Lady.
ReplyDeleteI want to thank you for the comment you left on yeye blog style, i love those pics to death with my darling girl, and looking forward to more pics from you!

I adore this look on you! I am really curious to see the cuff you mentioned. The shooties were SO worth lifting a ban to buy! Loving all your leopard goodness!
ReplyDeleteRawrrr! I love your leopard jacket and shoesies. I'm sure you turned heads while you were out ;)
ReplyDeleteYou *are* the cat's meow!
ReplyDeleteI have one leopard scarf but I'm on the lookout for more...
