Animal Print: The New Black?

in a world where everyone [and i mean EVERYONE] is sporting "animal print", one must be careful of becoming "one of the crowd" when wearing their favorite cheetah tights or zebra chiffon top. don't get me wrong, i adore animal prints, but when taken to far, it can become rampunctous and excessive. and when i walk down the hall and see someone covered head to toe with pattern, one word comes to mind: SIMPLICITY. we all may have an adorable zebra cardigan [i know i do] or popular cheetah print baby tee, but if you're wondering how to stand out from the pattern-loving clan, read on :)

1. ACCESORIZE. [use bangles, belts, headbands and more to add animal flair to any outfit. i pair my cheetah bangles & headband with my black dress and flats.]

these bracelets are $36.00 at trashandluxury.com

2. FLASHY FEET. [one word: SHOES. black and white zebra print heels can be paired with a solid, bright party dress, or a pair of skinny jeans. work with them!]

these shoes are $274.00 at donaldjpliner.com

there are my two tips on different ways to wear animal prints. as always, your comments are lovely :] peace out ♥
