I learned a lot about what was in my closet and my pattern preferences.<br /> Today I am wearing the pieces in Finds below. Inspired by Abies genie Pat's post, I pulled out the silk joggers and used an animal print silk tee as a top. Not sure it works it the outfit feels good. If I get a photo( babysitting a two year old), I will add it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage/page/2#post-1839291 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 18:56:55 +0000 The Cat 1839291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tonight's at home outfit: Leopard print pants, bought recently. This is the first time I wear them. And what a coincidence: Half an hour after changing into these pants, I noticed Angie's current blog post about genie pants! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage/page/2#post-1839277 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 17:59:29 +0000 The Cat 1839277@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mirjana, I am glad to hear that you got a good laugh.</p> <p>Skylurker, thank you, but in the current photo above I am wearing taupe, violet and grey -- no green at all. Maybe the colours look different on your screen, or perhaps you thought of a different forum member ...</p> <p>Jenni NZ, nice and varied collection of animal prints!</p> <p>JAileen, your boots look very fab. I would like to get both them and that stylish bag. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage/page/2#post-1839225 Thu, 24 Aug 2017 15:01:07 +0000 JAileen 1839225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't have much in this category. I have a thrifted leopard print scarf, and the snake print boots. I'm also stalking this bag.</p> <p><a href="http://www.zappos.com/p/rebecca-minkoff-sunday-large-saddle-blue-snake/product/8911162/color/1984?ref=pd_vh&#038;ref=pd_vh" rel="nofollow">http://www.zappos.com/p/rebecc.....;ref=pd_vh</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1839017 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 22:41:56 +0000 Angie 1839017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You rocked this look and the challenge, Sal. WELL DONE.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838996 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 21:14:37 +0000 Sal 1838996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Mirjana, Skylurker, Brooklyn, Jenni, Stylefan and Joy.</p> <p>Stylefan - love the pants on you!!<br />Jenni- your vest is a terrific piece and LOL about the kiwi.<br />Joy - you suit so many patterns.<br />Brooklyn - nice accessories:)</p> <p>I have never been a real animal print person although I did have a dress I enjoyed for a while. &nbsp;I agree with Skylurker in that it can look terrific - but it rarely calls out to me when I am looking. &nbsp;Maybe the beret can stay in my "dress up" closet.</p> <p>What I have enjoyed seeing is how we all have such a unique personal style. &nbsp;I feel being true to our own likes and preferences is important - not trying to be like others. &nbsp;But we can gain inspiration off other people that is for sure. &nbsp;While I have a bias against plaid shirts for example, I decided I do like plaid trousers in this challenge.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for contributing all - it has been a fun challenge series. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838949 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 18:26:27 +0000 Mirjana 1838949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful Joy, zebra top with red pants and silver winner. Overwhelm, not at all, to my mind. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838943 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 18:11:47 +0000 Anonymous 1838943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's animal is one I forgot ...zebra. Here is a zebra top with red and silver. Does it overwhelm? I think I have a wonderful zebra belt but it is too short for my low rise jeans. It may come back into rotation with waists being more at the waist.<br /> Thank you, The Cat and Sterling, for your kind comments yesterday. Sterling, I agree that leopard does not usually come in the best colors. I was surprised how much of mine had blue in the print.' </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838840 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 11:44:07 +0000 skylurker 1838840@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the challenge, Sal. Made me realize I mostly wear patterns one way : over tops. I have very few patterned shoes/accessories and no pattterned toppers or trousers.<br /> I have zero camo or animal print.</p> <p>I like leopard in theory, it looks bombshell and sophisticated - as shown by Mainelady, Laura and Joy here, but it's usually made of warm colours that don't suit me.</p> <p>Your beret looks cute but I would never dare wear it either. Scarf looks good, and soft.</p> <p>The Cat : you wear green so well<br /> Stylefan : I love the dark camo with faded denim<br /> Mirjana : #3 is my favourite, probably because my thoughts have turned to Fall/Winter fashion. The column of colour, combined with the luxe textures of snakeskin and fur, look very elegant. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838830 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 10:48:32 +0000 Jenni NZ 1838830@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That zebra bag would really match my zebra dress Brooklyn... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838829 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 10:45:47 +0000 Brooklyn 1838829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sally, you are such a star to run these challenges and comment on everyone's items and outfits. Kudos!<br /> I do have a couple of animal print bags that I love. I also have a few clothing items (a skirt, a couple of tops) but I haven't really been feeling the love for them in the past year or so.<br /> I will have to re-think that after seeing all these lovely inspirational pics from forum members. Thanks all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838828 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 10:36:46 +0000 Jenni NZ 1838828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey here is a real great spotted kiwi!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838824 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 10:32:00 +0000 Jenni NZ 1838824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh and I forgot my snakeskin NYDJ jeans and cobalt fake croc bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838819 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 10:22:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 1838819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been really busy as well until tonight and have written a post twice and lost it! Third time lucky? My fave is my "kiwi vest" ( not really- faux fur, no kiwi were harmed!) But it looks like the species called great spotted kiwi, to me I also love my leopard print fashion sneakers and my pink and blue camo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838817 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 10:12:47 +0000 Style Fan 1838817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal this was a great idea for a challenge.&nbsp; I was away and could not participate.&nbsp; Camo and leopard are 2 of my favourite patterns.&nbsp; Paisley is my all time favourite.&nbsp; I have one camo item right now that I wore on my holiday - a pair of peace tropper utility pants.&nbsp; This is an old WIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838805 Wed, 23 Aug 2017 07:33:16 +0000 Mirjana 1838805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Cat , thank you very much. You laughed me to tears with your idea for challenge, great idea. I am thinking how to do that, plastic bag will be probably beret, ha,ha......I am really laughing all morning. You are so sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838697 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 21:02:51 +0000 The Cat 1838697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, I am glad to hear that you may run new challenges. And yes, I have noticed that some forum members recreate Angie's ensembles, but they usually do it in individual posts. Some of us just don't feel like doing that. Doing it together is easier and more fun.</p> <p>Mirjana, you look wonderful, as always. I suspect that even if there was a challenge called "Put a plastic bag over your head and style it your way", you would somehow manage to look elegant and well-dressed. :-)</p> <p>Joy, thank you. And you really have a GREAT (in all possible meanings of the word) collection of animal prints. That last top looks GORGEOUS on you.</p> <p>Deborah -- fab, sophisticated style! I am very interested in the elegant way you tied your scarf in #2. Would you care to explain how you did it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838635 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 16:21:06 +0000 Anonymous 1838635@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today's outfit for casual home wear featuring some animal print.<br /> The top is a favorite although polyester. Pants are EF, rolled a bit to make ankle pants, giraffe print flats are being worn to evaluate fit as I am getting rid of their silver metallic cousins. I am also wearing leopard print Hue peds for in the house and to prevent shoes from rubbing on my bare feet. Suggestions welcomed.<br /> Later I will wear an EF thrifted 2-piece dress to a friend's birthday celebration at a restaurant. I am considering leopard accessories. What do you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838538 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 06:45:25 +0000 Mirjana 1838538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sal and Joy this dress is my favorite. Joy, yes red accessories are very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838526 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 04:43:41 +0000 DonnaF 1838526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No camo, only animal print mostly in footwear, belts, and scarves. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838509 Tue, 22 Aug 2017 03:11:00 +0000 Deborah 1838509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>At work but will come back and check out everyone's offerings.</p> <p>Here are mine! I do like animal print particularly in black and white.</p> <p>1. Drop Crotch Pants - Spring Summer wear</p> <p>2. Scarf, winter weight</p> <p>3. Anke boots </p> <p>4.

It would go well with my snake loafers and bag.<br /> The Cat, your soft coat is a beauty.<br /> Maine Lady, your pink a scarf wants to meet my pink long cardi.<br /> Texstyle, the leopard belt is a find! Hold on to that leopard print shirt if it fits well. It will be a classic.<br /> Laura, double cat prints! Fab pattern mixing.<br /> Mirjana, the zebra print dress with your red accessories is gorgeous on you. The red would look fab with any of your animal prints. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838413 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 21:44:34 +0000 Sal 1838413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for these great looks.</p> <p>Mirjana - you continue to look elegant in every pattern. &nbsp;I do like your dress in 2 - I am guessing tiger stripes?</p> <p>Laura - double leopard, very fun and daring!!</p> <p>Joy - what a great collection. &nbsp;I do like snakeskin footwear and bags and those are my favourites. &nbsp;And thank you for showing us the wonderful patterns that you have. &nbsp;You wear them all very well and I think you have to be the overall Queen/Duchess/Empress of Pattern (you have some great other royal members too).</p> <p>TexStyle - I know what you mean. &nbsp;I like touches of animal print but struggle to make it work on me. &nbsp;But it is also nice to have a couple of pieces to pull out when the time is right.</p> <p>Mainelady - what a nice capsule of animal print. &nbsp;I think my choices are both pairs of shoes - what lovely shapes and colours they are.</p> <p>The Cat - thank you for your enthusiasm. &nbsp;It has been fun and I agree colour challenges could be fun in the future. &nbsp;I would be happy to run those in a month or two. &nbsp;For the ensembles which Angie posts (I think on a Friday in the US) some forum members recreate them which are always worth looking at. &nbsp;I rarely am able to being out of sync with the seasons- and being a Saturday here in NZ I am rushing out to rugby or tennis in sports gear. &nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838367 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 19:39:31 +0000 Mirjana 1838367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a couple of items with animal print:</p> <p>1.Leopard print blouse.<br />2.Zebra print dress.<br />3.

You seem to have plenty items for any challenge. How many closets do you have? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838353 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 18:21:57 +0000 Laura G 1838353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Animal print is right up their with floral and paisley for me--too bad I'm not up to taking photos today. But here's an old one that counts twice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838288 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 13:39:20 +0000 Anonymous 1838288@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are some of my animal prints (in Finds below).<br /> Most are for cooler weather. No camo.<br /> I am sorry that the finds are so large and I cannot seem to make them smaller now. I have a scarf or two that are not in my Finds.<br /> Thank you, Sal, for this challenge. I have rediscovered prints and will try to wear them more often now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-pattern-challenge-show-us-your-animal-print-or-camouflage#post-1838281 Mon, 21 Aug 2017 13:30:39 +0000 texstyle 1838281@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only thing I have that I wear regularly in this category is a camo print tee. I used to have a snakeskin handbag but that has moved on. I own a leopard print button down but haven't worn it in at least 2 years. I also have a navy/grey leopard print short sleeved sweatshirt style top that I wear sometimes in winter. Oh, and I have a calf hair belt that I do wear. Most animal prints feel a little too loud for my personal style right now but I hold onto them because every once in a while it feels like they work. </p>
