In my first chameleon thread, I asked for suggestions for who I should try to copy and annabelle asked me to copy Torontogirl's all neutral outfit with leopard scarf. I have to be honest, at first I wasn't sure I could do this one and make it look like me. I hardly ever wear scarves--I'm always worried they will get in the way at work when I'm bending over patients, or become a choking hazard (to me!) when I'm with my toddler. Plus my clothes tend to be patterned, which would compete for attention with scarves. I do have several scarves (about 10) but they've been languishing in my closet. And I don't usually wear outfits with all plain neutrals. I've usually been doing bright colors, or more lately, dark black, but always some type of pattern.

I did some more reading on TG's style. Sounds like we both have daughters of similar age who have strong opinions on fashion! I also noted how she did Project 333 and limited her wardrobe to 33 items for 3 months. Her Pinterest board of her 333 wardrobe looks like a beautiful California Closets ad! While I would love to do the Zen minimalist wardrobe, capsule dressing and neutrals would never work for me. I'm too addicted to prints and colors! However, I thought it would be the perfect challenge for trying a new approach. I don't usually dress in neutrals and let the accessories do the talking. (Usually my outfit and the accessories are competing for attention, LOL!) It was a fun challenge, and I have to say I'm pleased with the results. Thanks TG for giving me another approach to outfit creation, and for rescuing my orphan scarf! And thanks Annabelle for suggesting the copycat!

I did two different outfits, one casual that would be perfect for MOTG since TG is a SAHM. I picked a neutral oatmeal cardigan and paired it with a black turtleneck and the leopard scarf, with distressed jeans and leopard ballet flats. With a Longchamp tote just like TG carries--perfect for carrying things around as a MOTG. I included my signature matchy matchy with triple animal print with the scarf, shoes and bracelet. Since I was going to work today, I also did another version, swapping out for a tweed pencil skirt and cheetah pumps. I also had to learn how to tie a scarf--I tied it in a more casual infinity style for MOTG and a long double twist for work. At first I was going to do the cream and black tipped peacoat and add the dotty purse to echo the black buttons (and to add one more animal print with the snakeskin purse), but I decided that was way TMGO and switched to the cognac leather jacket and the bronze tote. I'm happy with how it came out. I haven't done all neutrals or leopard or brown in a long while--nice to change things up!
