Pops of Leopard

When my friend saw my outfit she was like, “That’s the first time I’ve seen leopard print done in a way that I actually like.”  At least in the style blogging world, leopard print doesn’t seem too scary or “out there” so I was curious to know how she’d normally seen leopard print done in the “real world.”  With hot pink, sparkles, and velour track pants apparently!  Ah yes…that style has definitely given animal print a bad rap.  

If you’ve got the same mental image of animal print as my friend had, start with small doses like leopard flats/pumps, a scarf, or a belt.  They’re great additions to a simple outfit without being overwhelming.

Last week I linked to 6 leopard flat options. (Catch them here.)  Below are some scarves and belts with animal print that feels a little softer.  For belts, I own Option 7 and love it!  Option 8 has smaller spots, and Option 9 is a little thicker at 1.5 in, though you can’t tell from the pics.
