Leopards me-ow--don't they?
So, I'm sort of partial to my leopard prints. And you know, why not? Always timeless. Classic. Sophisticated.
Now, if you're like me, you can be a bit obsessive with the things that you love. So, a word of caution--you can have too much of a good thing. Be careful. There is a fine line between stunning and scary in a blink.
I like to do leopard like this...large pieces {jackets, pants and dresses or sofas and chairs} pair with solids. Keep the look really clean and sophisticated.
When using leopard in smaller pieces {shoes, tops, handbags, belts and scarves or pillows, lampshades and trays} get a little adventurous--pair them with fun prints or large stripes, and use the leopard as a pattern accent. It becomes unexpected and adds a layer of richness and sophistication.
And lastly, two things. #1- Use a discerning eye when buying leopard pieces. I have found fantastic pieces {from Target to Neimans}, but more often I come across ones not so fantastic...so, choose wisely. #2 - Never, Never pair two leopard pieces together. They never match--even if they are the same, I promise.{Unless they are throw pillows, in which case, I will allow}.
So, how will you channel your inner feminine feline?...In your home or out and about or both?...Me-ow.
