WIW-leopard week - YouLookFab Forum

It all started a few weeks ago when going through my closet and realizing that I have a lot of leopard (even more than stripes!). Here is a sampling of how I wore some of my pieces. And yes, I still have more that weren't worn...
#1-leopard clutch. One side is leopard the other black leather.
#2 & 3- leopard sweater with pearls
#4-6- leopard shoes
# 7- leopard bracelet and belt (broke the rule of 2 leopard pieces at a time but I figured they were small and the belt mostly hidden)
#8 & 9- leopard scarf
#10- my crazy leopard skirt that I absolutely love!

I really need to work on better photos but any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated!

How fun! I loved your leopard week. You have a nice assortment of pieces.

UmmLila (Lisa)

Great looks! (and I'm not just saying that because I'm on the J Crew bandwagon this season)

kkards

1st I thought #3 is my fav, then I thought no wait, #6 is my fav (pointed toe leopard shoes TDF), then I saw the leopard skirt!

Jacket twin!! It looks fabulous on you. And I can tell you are another J. Crew fan, like Viva, me, Ummlila, and Karie.

You look amazing in leopard. It's great with your hair. I loved leopard as a blonde. I still love it now but have to be a bit more purposeful in wearing it.

The leopard is fabulous. I think my favourite is the skirt (I like the waist and bow) .
I also like the pink and leopard clutch. I like how all the hardware matches.
The bright pink really suits you.

Muffin

Thank you all!
I really have been on a J.Crew kick this season, UmmLila. Outside of Nordstrom it's really the only other place I shop regularly (& with luck).

Suz, very good point about the blonde hair with the more traditional leopards. Honestly, I don't think I made the connection before but maybe that's why subconsciously I've gravitated towards them.

Smittie and Kkcards, the skirt is really fun. It's an odd fabric (almost a taffeta raincoat/shower curtain type) but it definitely gives it structure which I like. So happy with the shoes from NAS, been getting a ton of wear. And I do love the the pink blazer-makes me smile to see the brightness in my closet (& to know I can twin with Suz).

Chewy spaghetti, I still have a few more to knock out. Thankfully I see leopard as pretty classic and will hang on to these pieces even when I tire of them.

JAileen

Great outfits! My favorite is with your crazy skirt - #10. BTW, your hair is really pretty, too.

lpr200

They all look fantastic! I think I'm inspired to do a leopard week!

Brooklyn

OK. Since we are doing a leopard inventory. I have: leopard bag, leopard scarf, leopard skirt, leopard bracelet, leopard short sleeve sweater, leopard long sleeve sweater, leopard blouse. No leopard shoes. An oversight. Have my eye out for a leopard jacket. I would LOVE to add your leopard skirt to my collection. It is perfect on you! I also love the leopard bag with the pink jacket in no 1.

Joy

What a fun idea for a week and you look wonderful in every outfit.
Suz, look for leopard prints that are more grey and you will enjoy them with your hair.

Firecracker (Sharan)

Leopard was made for you, Muffin! I especially love that leopard sweater on you, in 2 and 3, and the leopard skirt outfit is jaw-dropping on you!

Brooklyn- what? No leopard shoes?! You must rectify immediately. A jacket would be amazing. Viva tried on the most gorgeous Dries one at our Portland meetup (not sure how to link back to her post). I used to have one of my grandmother's old leopard coats. So wish I still had it!

JAileen- thank you! I've tried many haircuts/styles but this one just seems to work.

Lpr200- you should definitely do a leopard week! Truthfully, I could probably do 2 weeks. Might make an interesting travel capsule.

Joy & Firecracker- thank you! I really had fun doing this.

Sara L.

These are great! What a fun challenge for a week. You wear leopard well. I think I have just shoes and a scarf in traditional leopard. I have 3 pairs of shoes though - slip on sneakers, ballet flats and boots.

Mirjana

Oh, happy Lady with so nice assortment of leopard pieces. You really look
fabulous. I think my favourite is the skirt but it was a difficult decision. I love leopard print too.

Chris987

This is great! I have a couple of leopard items on order which will be my first toe into the water and I'm looking forward to it. Your leopard week could be all the ideas I need to get started! Your hair color is very close to mind and your style is a lot like one I like, so this will be a great set of inspirational outfits. I don't find most JCREW items fit me right but I keep trying here and there, but other brands have these same looks.

Are the Cole Hann shoes comfortable, and what sort of feet do you have if you don't mind me asking...(high volume, low volume etc)?

THANKS!

Angie

Fashion Stylist

You look sensational all round, Muffin.

I LOVE the pink blazer, pearls and lucite necklace.

texstyle

How fun is this! Wow - I like everyone of your outfits. I'm a jeans gal so those are particularly interesting to me (I may have to copy as I haven't worn my leopard flats in over a year).

Sorry for late replies!

Texstyle- I'm ultimately in jeans or something dressy (it's the in betweens I struggle with). Get your leopard flats out- they really do go with everything.

Angie- thank you for taking a minute to look and comment-much appreciated after your travels. I have been so happy with your picks!

Chris- I do find the Cole Haan's to be comfortable. I am usually an 8 (narrowish-does that mean low volume?). In this shoe I did size down to a 7.5. I bought them during NAS and was able to try both sizes on and the 7.5 just worked better. I also like that there is a slight heel and not too flat. I find a small lift to be much more comfortable.

Mirjana & Sara- thank you both! Sara- leopard boots would be awesome!

Amazing leopard collection! Especially love the shoes.

viva

I especially love your leopard skirt, Muffin. And so nice to see your beautiful smile!

( Ps I ordered your little lace top from Nordstrom and wore it for my birthday dinner with friends. I love that it reminds me of you and the meetup!)

I'm just soooo loving piccie number 10 hun,you look super,!!!!,XXX

You look so amazing. I love all of your outfits, but I adore that blazer on you. The jewelry is perfect.

Although I am not normally a big fan of leopard print, those shoes have me second guessing myself.
