Happy Friday everyone!
I am a firm believer that brown leopard prints are as fabulous as it is neutral. You can wear it with almost anything and look ultra-stylish. But if the pattern is too ferocious for your taste try opting for a leopard piece in a black/white/grey palette instead. The smaller the dots, the less noticeable the actual leopard will be. This subtle experimentation with leopard print is a great way to work your way up to something more dramatic - like brown leopard pumps! These darker blend leopard prints will enable you to incorporate this trend into practically any outfit without standing out in the crowd, too much =)
I was tagged a while back in a fun post by Tiffany at Breakfast with Tiffany, I am super late but here are my answers to Tiff's questions:
- Do you live in the same town you grew up in?
- Yes, I've lived in Boston my entire life. Have always wanted to move to a warmer climate state but seem to always gravitate back here.
- What is your favorite TV show?
- F.R.I.E.N.D.S which sadly has ended but I still watch DVDs now and then.
- What is your favorite memory from high school?
- English class - 2nd period: I distinctively remember Hubby asking me out on a date and I said "No." Of course 8 months later I caved and here we are.
- Who is someone that you look up to?
- My mother - she came to a foreign country all by herself to raise her children and to give them an opportunity to pursue their dreams.
- Where do you see yourself in five years?
- I will be done with school, hopefully will have passed the bar and find a job in the legal field and than FINALLY have more time to spend with my family instead of balancing work, school and family as I am doing now!
- How did you get into blogging?
- I spent 2 years reading blogs before I was brave enough to post my own picture online for the world to see. I figure since I am always on the blogsphere anyways, might as well join in on the fun and make some fashionista friends along the way.
- Where is one place you've never been that you really want to visit before you die?
- The Great Wall of China - I want to walk the whole thing with Hubby before we get old.
- What is one thing you've never done that you really want to do at least once in your life?
- Explore Vietnam with my family so that we can learn more about our culture and background.
- What do you like to do in your downtime?
- Watch Chinese and Korean dramas while knitting. (I am a multitasker at heart so I always have to keep busy)
- What is your favorite comfort food?
- BACON!
- What do you like to wear to lift your mood when the winter doldrums hits you?
- Any colorblocking outfit will do, the brighter the better!
Thank you Tiffany for thinking of me! Have a great weekend everyone!

Your headband is so cute and that's a lovely skirt, it absolutely counts as a neutral. I'm a total pansy when it comes to animal prints so I'd probably actually wear this one.
ReplyDeleteGREAT ensemble :) xx

You and your husband were HS sweethearts? I had no idea! Love the leopard accent in your outfit today! I always like what you are wearing to be honest, Thu ;) Happy Friday!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous skirt :) I love leopard print but I agree sometimes a more subtle leopard print piece can work better, I always worry I don't suit full on leopard print so a skirt like this is perfect! x
ReplyDeletewow, you look awsome :))
