What I Wore: Work Day Chic
9:03 AMToday outfit was inspired by my love of leopard prints (or any animal print for the matter). Last weekend during the Labor Day Sale weekend, I found this wonderful clutch on clearance, and I instantly had to have it. I decided to pair this clutch with my red top that I recently purchases from Express Mega Sale last week.
Some people think leopard patterns are hard to style around, but the color family of this blouse goes really well with leopard prints. Red tends to be the popular option when paring leopards, but emerald green goes well with it as an example here, as well as bright orange as an example here. I look forward to showing you many more color options when pairing animal prints (since that is the current rage now).
I had a really nice shirt that I purchased from a discount store recently, and I wore it only one time, before I notice a hole in it after throwing it in the washer (which the tag stated that it was safe for). To me that was not only frustrating, but a total waste of money. So yes it will take a while, but I rather build slowing and reuse, then wear any items for just one time and get no uses from it. Anyhow...I hope you guys had a wonderful week! XoXo Kreyola

DeleteIt took me a while to realize the importance of quality over quantity and even now I'm still struggling with it but you are so right. This is nicely put together look for work and your pants are amazing.

Thanks Darcy as always for the support and comment :)
DeleteLoving your accessories and I agree that red and leopard were made for each other! Emerald and orange, like you said, are great, too! I honestly find it hard to think of a color that does NOT go with leopard. Burgundy, cobalt, olive, I've even done mustard yellow before. It's all so good! Carylee | morepiecesofme.com
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about colors that match with leopard. I really love pairing it cobalt and fuschia pink as well :). Thanks for the visit and comment Carylee :)

Hi Gina! Thanks for the visit and the comment :D. You more then welcome to feature this outfit (I'm very honored in fact). Looking forward to seeing your post ^_^.
DeleteThank you so much!! :) :)
DeleteI love leopard! I just bought a leopard print pencil skirt and am trying to incorporate it into my outfits. It's not difficult at all though, I'm finding it works with pretty much everything. I haven't worn mine with a pop of red yet, but I love the idea of doing so! You look incredible, and I'm pretty sure this outfit should headline on any "What-to-Wear-to-the-Office" articles. :)
ReplyDeleteThe What's In Between

Appreciate the follow back.
Thanks Trica for the comment. I believed I returned the favor!
DeleteGirl you totally killing it! :) Black, red and white are my go to colors, honestly I think animal prints are like a neutral, they look great with almost any color! But I'm a animal print lover!
ReplyDeleteYou got that about Quality pieces in the long run you end up saving money with Good Investments! That's what I like about Delecia at style de crème, she mixes everyday clothes with red bottoms and interlocking c bags ... not that I can afford them (would be afraid to scuff them) but we can find similar bags and shoes to give outfits that classy look ... well you don't need to but me is another story ;) lol
Take Care Sis! God Bless! Have a Beautiful Day! =D
That is what I have to remember about the pieces I buy, now that I'm leaning toward quality pieces, my wardrobe is taking even longer to build. I just can't win LOL. Have a nice day sis.
