Wearing Now: Lotsa Leopard

Blouse - Thrifted (Sf Vintage Expo)
Skirt - H&M (very old)
Belt - Forever21 (came with a skirt)
Heels - Yves Saint Laurent

Whoa, I've been feeling brave lately, and let me number the ways:
  1. I chopped off my hair (ok, only 5 or 6 inches - but that's still a lot for a longtime, long-haired gal!)  (and I promise, promise, I will try to have a hair curling tutorial soon!)
  2. I'm sporting this mixture of leopard prints to the office (yes, indeed.) 
  3. ...and I avoided both the Saks & Sephora Friends & Family discounts. (That's a pretty big deal.)
And still itching for the right pair of chocolate brown booties at the right price, I've recently tried on a few pairs.  This one was too wobbly to walk in, this one didn't come in chocolate (but, boy do I looooove it) and these (in a gorgeous nude patent leather), quite frankly, aren't boots.  Silly me.

What's one fall item you've been lusting after but can't quite find?

  1. Great leopard on leopard combo!! The contrast of big and small patterning makes it work and the belt is a great break-up! Love your hair too! :)

  2. Great outfit! I love the pattern mix.

    I've been lusting after a camel sheath dress. I see them in all the fall magazines and have yet to fine one in a store.

  4. Try Zara they have a great chocolate brown bootie. I have it posted in my blog: besoslynn.blogspot.com
    Perfect pairing of prints by the way. It works. If your coworkers are anything like mine, they will be doing double takes all day!

  5. How unexpected, but it totally works! The bold print top and the small print skirt is a fantastic combo. I'm in love with that skirt.

  8. Hi,

  9. Wow, you really are very brave! I could never muster up enough courage to wear that to work although I absolutely love animal prints! I especially love how you paired print on print.

    I've also been on the search for a good pair of boots, but otk boots. A good animal print shoe is also on my list. :)

    Love your posts, as always!

  10. Kudos to you for wearing this combination to the office. I don't know if I could be that brave... I love your YSL shoes! I would like to see more of them, I recently had my first big shoe splurge and they were YSL! The Palais black suede, and I LOVE them because they are sooo comfortable!

    P.S. I managed to avoid the Saks F&F sale as well (everything I wanted was an exception!) but I don't think I'll be as lucky with the Sephora F&F....

  11. I've been dying for a military inspired cape. I can't seem to find one that I can't live without online and haven't had the time to search for it otherwise. Any suggestions??

    Stop by and enter my giveaway!

  12. Wow - you look fabulous in the leopard on leopard! I think you are the rare type of person who really makes the outfit work (i.e. this would not work on me ;) )

  13. brave indeed. head to toe in leopard is tough to pull off but you wear it so well! what about these (http://www.saksfifthavenue.com/main/ProductDetail.jsp?FOLDER%3C%3Efolder_id=282574492713490&PRODUCT%3C%3Eprd_id=845524446362341&R=469654919500&P_name=See+by+Chloe&sid=12BE2D695EBA&Ntt=see+by+chloe+shoes&N=0&bmUID=iLzzr15), they might work.

  18. Definitely know what you mean! I had long hair all my life until earlier this year, when I decided my hair needed a change and chopped off about 6 inches of my hair too. I love that my hair has much more volume now. The curls suit you very well.

  21. Gorgeous outfit Anh! Brave girl for wearing that to your conservative workplace but I'm sure you wowed while keeping your professionalism. I LOVE that blouse, how lucky that you found that while thrifting!

    Have a great week!

  23. Yes, daring, but do love the big-little pattern pairing! My workplace, which is medical and carries a strict dress code, doesn't allow me much fashion-freedom, so the extent I wear animal patterns are a pair of Jimmy Choo's that have a very subtle leopard print!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Fantastic combination! It's bold, yet chic at the same time.

    @Desert Flower, you may want to try Mango for a camel sheath dress. I think I saw that style in the store. Good luck!

  26. Wow I am loving you hair! The outfit is awesome too :) cant wait for the tutorial!

  27. I would never have thought that multiple animal prints together could look so classy! I love this look!

    ReplyDelete
  28. Being brave suits you well! LOL Your hair looks absolutely gorgeous, can't wait for the tutorial. The leopard prints I never would have thought would work together, but wow. I love it.

    I think I am now seriously coveting those E&J boots, although I also love the Alexander Wang's. I am on the hunt for some classy over-the-knee boots that will fit my calves!
