Leopard is a Neutral

Neutrals aren't limited to solids black, brown, gray, tan, navy and white

Animal prints are neutrals too .... they combine a combination of the above solids in a pattern found in nature .... so it's a natural conclusion that you can pair & style them as such.



Accent a with a Leopard Topper



Ann Taylor Jacket 
Bracelet Sleeves are a great way to accent wrist baubles 
and avoid ill-fitting sleeve lengths (too short or too long)

Leopard Pants


On Super Sale at Ann Taylor

Keep printed pants fitted as too much volume/fabric can be overwhelming 

These pants were designed in a low-rise crop length, I find a full length creates a longer line ... crazy as it may sound at 5'2" I ordered in Tall ... not only are they full length giving me options with various heel heights (I just pin the cuff under for lower heels) but the rise was a bit higher helping hold tucked blouses in and showcasing a waist line.

Pair with a bright skirt or pant ... balance with a solid neutral shoe & bag

Accessorize!
Calf Hair is a Luxurious Way to Add Texture and a Pop of Print


Check out these Calf Hair Belts
I increased the functionality of this Calf Hair belt by purchasing a size up and adding a couple extra holes (now I can wear on my hips & waist) ... Use tiny clear hair ties to hold the extra material down






When shopping for a Calf Hair clutch I saved lots of money using this iPad case (lots of carrying space).... Get Creative!

Rules:
One animal print at a time - Don't mix your zebra with your cheetah
Only one piece of print per look - Don't wear leopard dress, shoes and handbag = Fashion Police!
Can be combined with all colors
Can be mixed with other prints - in moderation ... Florals, Stripes, and Dots


Bring out the Animal in your Style!!!
