Red + Leopard

Bright red and a pop of leopard are two components for style greatness.  They're bright and bold yet classic.  Making a statement doesn't have to be funky.  Saturated color and striking prints are all you need to have an eye-catching look.  With vibrant accents you must balance with soft neutrals.

For the office I would pair this red blazer and calf hair leopard pumps with a neutral sheath dress or blouse/pencil skirt combo but to carry these investment pieces through the weekend/evening I chose a basic white tank and loose skinny jeans.

What makes investment pieces an investment is not only the quality of the garments but the ability to transcend.  I'm obsessed with blazers and pair them with everything!  They add instant sophistication.  Simply roll/push up the sleeves and pair with comfy casual pieces to remove the 'office' vibe.

TGIF!

Although I am in NO rush for summer to end, these looks are perfect for now and later when the temperature is much cooler.  It's a smart investment when pieces can be utilized across seasons with simple additions/changes.
