I just picked up this DKNY knit top at Ross Dress for Less. It’s very soft and flowy, and it has a cool detail at the back, where my team number can go. I’ve had the To The Max skirt for ages, and I can’t remember where I got it – consignment, I think.

The blog goddesses are smiling, because I’m able to link this up to Tammy’s “Trends Through the Decades” party, and I can repeat it for Bloggers Do It Better in a couple of days. Animals everywhere, man.
Have you embraced the animal print in a large or small way? All-out with a fabulous dress, or just a touch, with a belt or bag? I would like to get some animal print gloves, even cotton ones, for my NYC trip. That would add interest to my mostly-solid looks.

Oh Patti, a red pencil skirt would be smashing! But it looks great with gray too. I don't think you could look anything less than beautiful in any outfit. The zebra gloves would be so neat with a winter coat.
ReplyDeleteI love animal prints! I am one of those who have to be careful or I will buy too much of it...you can always find great pieces in thrift. I LOVE this skirt...what a great purchase from Ross!
ReplyDeleteI love animal prints, too. Like you, I usually tone them down by pairing them with more subdued pieces. My leopard gloves are much beloved (the zebra ones, alas, are lost forever). You are inspiring me to run out and wear my leopard top again! That top you're wearing would look good with so many things -- red pencil skirt, yes, but I am also thinking denim. (But then, I'm always thinking denim, aren't I?)
ReplyDeleteThose gloves have my name all over them!
ReplyDeleteHave a pretty day!

It looks great with the simple skirt, not too OTT at all!
ReplyDeleteYour top looks very elegant with the grey skirt. And while you could try it with a colored skirt (red sounds great), colored shoes might be interesting too!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! This looks great on you.
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but I've never owned or worn any animal prints in their natural colors. I did have a purple zebra stripe shirt in the 70s and Irecently made a dress in an intense green and black Pucci print with zebra and cheetah in it! Maybe this is the year I will break down and do a more realistic animal print in an accessory. Those gloves are tempting.
So cute!
ReplyDeleteLovely Patti. Love your sandals, too.

With your tiny waist, you could belt the top! I love the shoes too. I'm a shoe fanatic. Digging the animal prints.
ReplyDeleteThis looks fab on you x
ReplyDeleteSuch fun! I'd love to see it with the red pencil skirt too, of course. ;)
ReplyDeleteI love the word 'de-wilded'. Yes the top would look great with a red pencil skirt. As for animal prints, I have one leopard print scarf that makes me feel very chic and current.
ReplyDeleteLove the gloves! I'm a huge fan of animal accessories--gloves, scarves, belts, shoes.
ReplyDeleteYou look great in leopard print. You should definitely wear more of it!

I love this funky top with the gray pencil skirt, but you're right I think it would look great with a red one too!
ReplyDeleteI love animal print! You look great!

I think this is a great match. I agree with some of the other comments, you have to be small to pull this off and you do it wonderfully!
ReplyDeleteYou look adorable and I love the shoes!

ReplyDelete"Have you embraced the animal print in a large or small way? All-out with a fabulous dress, or just a touch, with a belt or bag?"
ReplyDeleteNever bought a big item on my closet with animal prints except my bag and belt. Now, I am encouraged to buy clothes with leopard animal prints, eh. Looks good and flattering. Wow!
