I thought I would show some love for the leopard print today. I am a big fan, I know not everyone is so if you are not – this is not your kinda post!
As you may know leopard print is considered a neutral. Once you get experimenting with it you will be amazed at how many things it can actually be paired with and why it is considered a neutral. It is a classic and a wardrobe staple. It can also be used very tastefully in the home (I’ll save that for another day).
Done correctly leopard print is truly sophisticated. A great shoe, a bag, even a blouse can really elevate your look, remember to be careful not to use more than one major piece at a time.
We can certainly say the leopard print isn’t going anywhere……

You can confidently add a leopard print in some form to your wardrobe knowing that it will still be current years from now. Just make sure that it is in the classic black/brown and no crazy color combos.
Speaking of colors there is almost no color that leopard cannot be paired with:
If you don’t think you can wear clothing that is leopard the easiest place to start is a simple accessory. A scarf, a thin belt or a bracelet. I own a leopard scarf that I actually wear quite a bit. The other item I have that I have gotten lots of wear out of is a pair of leopard pumps I have been able to pair them with more outfits than I had imagined when I originally bought them on clearance! A pair of flats as well, they will upgrade any outfit and you’ll get lots of wear, I promise.
Some leopard items to think about adding to your wardrobe….

Oh, I do like leopard! More as an accessory as I get older. Love the way you organize this blog! Great job, I want to go shopping every day, dangerous, I know, but full of lots of inspiring ideas! Thank you!

A neutral really? I had no idea. I have a pair of gloves that are leopard print and wear them all the time. I love reading your blog it gives me permission to take time to appreciate beautiful things. Thanks for your inspirations!
