Ladies - thank you for the comments and glad you liked the play on leopard.
Stylefan - you make a good point about the jeans providing contrast and grounding the print. I was a bit hesitant about buying the gold boots, so it is good that they work with my leopard print items, I am sure they will be a fun way to brighten up my winter ahead.
JenniNZ - hope you are enjoying your holiday and I look forward to seeing the print combination you have in mind.
Lyn67 - I had heard that leopard could be treated as a neutral. I am not sure if that is true, but it is a print that was surprisingly easy to work with.
