love it or hate it…animal print is back (again). everywhere I turn I see it roaring on jackets, sweaters, scarves, and my personal favorite…shoes. let’s face it. everyone needs a tiny little kitten heel in cheetah or the like. i am yet in need of this in my wardrobe for this season.
psychologists believe that fashion's obsession with leopard print is because the pattern is simply in our DNA — way back to a time when our ancestors were hunter-gatherers and animal skins were a necessity for warmth. (according to telegraph's hilary alexander in her september 06, 2010 feature "leopard print? it's spot on")
huh? no, my theory is that girls like sassy accessories. done.
here are the keys to rockin’ the animal print ladies…seems intuitive, but we’ve all seen it done
wrong. let’s remember these few tips.1. don’t go overboard on the animal print…one print item per outfit.
2. nervous about being too trendy? keep it to accessories….scarf, shoes, belt…always classic.
3. tone it down. always complement with classic black or brown.
4. jury is still out on leopard tights in my book. pair them with confidence and I think it works.
now, if mesh can figure out how to incorporate this trend into the fall/winter necklace line we may have something exciting on our hands!
thanks to everyone’s support in october. we are super excited about our four (!) home|shows…
