Must Have Monday

If you would have asked me 6 months ago if i thought leopard print was nice i would have rolled my eyes and exclaimed about how trashy it was. Well, that was 6 months ago and in the past couple of weeks especially, i have fallen back in love with it. It burst back out onto the runways again this season from Oscar de la Renta and  Rebecca Taylor and i couldn't be happier. Animal prints, especially leopard, tread a fine line between chic and trashy but if you wear them in small amounts, you will be able to pull it off, without looking like a hooker. You could pair Jeffrey Campbell leopard wedges (which i love oh so much) and a military styled coat and black tights for a simple outfit to let the wild wedges be the focus of the outfit, or try an over sized faux fur leopard coat, a simple pinstripe shirt, black skinnies and military boots. Wear it any way you want, just remember, don't over kill. In moderation, any trendy indulgence can be worn.
