Why Did You Wear That: Call of the Wild

By |July 29th, 2012|Celebrity Style, Look for Less, Why Did You Wear That?|

You know, leopard print tends to get a bit of a bad rap… and I guess I can see why.  When used in excess, it can leave a lady looking more like a tramp.  However, leopard doesn’t have to be all hookers and Housewives.  It also doesn’t need to be condoned to only the evening prowl.  Leopard is kind of a new neutral and when paired with the right pieces, it can actually look down right feminine.  Don’t believe me?  Here are three different ladies showing us three different ways to get a little catty in the right way:

Friday Frocks: Born To Be Wild

By |January 27th, 2012|Friday Frocks, Why Did You Wear That?|

leopardI look forward to Friday for oh so many reasons and I get the feeling I’m not alone.  One of those reasons is the prospect of letting my hair down, slipping out of something standard, and perhaps getting a little bit wild.  What better way to let people know you are serious about having fun than sporting a little something borrowed from our friends in the animal kingdom?

In case you haven’t noticed, leopard and animal prints aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.  In my opinion, leopard print is a new neutral.  If you tire of the standard “as seen in nature” prints, opt for a recolored print.
