Anyone who knows me well knows that my closet is not lacking in leopard print. What people don’t know is that with a love of leopard comes endless amounts of criticism and backlash. You don’t how many times I have heard people say to me, ‘Leopard print is so tacky’ or ‘You can’t wear that. It’s not professional enough and it’s definitely not what a lady wears.’ To all you haters out there, don’t knock it ’til you try it! I’m not exactly sure where my love of leopard originates from but what I do know is that when I wear leopard, I feel like the sassy, confident woman that I am and no one can tell me otherwise- end of story. The key to wearing leopard the right way is to choose one statement piece to keep the outfit visually interesting and to have the remainder of the outfit within a neutral palate. By doing so, your outfit looks classy and not trashy.
In this look, I chose to wear my leopard blazer (that I found thrifting for $3) with distressed denim jeans, nude pumps, and an ivory blouse (that I also found thrifting). I feel like this look is both cool and chic while still being classy- something I strive for in every look of mine. To all you beautiful people out there, remember- if you find something that you love, makes you feel good, and looks good on you, NEVER let anyone tell you otherwise!
