Thanks Diane - I'd been looking for leopard booties for the last two years and chanced across these on clearance, so I had to try them. Off to hunt for a camel bag tomorrow...

Kiwigal - I hadn't thought of the cow bag for the first outfit, but that's a good idea, thanks. Those are good points about #9 which is definitely a work in progress. It works well with just the navy sweater, no underlayer, so the idea of a shorter or column of color top is worth playing with.

Thanks Bonnie G and Xtabay!

Smittie, I've been trying for modern, and it's been a gradual learning process. I like white footwear with white jeans too, kinda lengthens things.

Thanks Aliona, I'll tuck that shirt, or try something different.

You have such style and polish.
1: thinking of a bag, I like your choices. I like to use a colorblocked bag in black, tan, and brown with my leopard booties. See find below for bag and similar booties.
2: What Suz said. The black jacket feels like it makes the boots work.
3: This may be my favorite of these outfits.
4: I want to steal that leopard coat!
5+: I love them all and each choice shown.

Joy I was actually looking at a camel, cognac and black bag the other day, but I wasn't certain about the shape, but color blocked browns is a great solution with leopard boots. I also thought about woven straw... but I don't really want a tote.

WOW!!

I mean ... WOW!!!
