Sweater, INC (one of my February purchases). Dress, Jones New York. Tights, Danskin. Oxford pumps, Isaac Mizrahi for Target.A pattern mix like this isn’t to everyone’s taste and pushes the limits of acceptance in a professional workplace. A classic silhouette, though, ensures that the pattern mix is the only (!) wild element. Imagine how office-inappropriate it would be if the top were a bustier and the skirt a mini.
Yeah, this is my favorite pose.
With all the pattern and an embellished neckline, I didn’t need any jewelry.
Ohmigosh you just totally, totally rock - the mix of animal prints looks AMAZING on you!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love! I think it would work better as a skirt and shirt though, that way you could wear them with other patterns and colours, not just together.
ReplyDeleteyou are a force unto yourself. Fierce, fabulous, and fun! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThis is so incredible! I would have never been brave enough to try this but you make it completely amazing! Gorgeous :)
ReplyDeleteOprah said the word Shobotties today... i so thought you made that word up... i enjoy the blog!
ReplyDeleteohhhh i have this cardigan and LOVE it - it goes with EVERYTHING, seriously... i've kind of been using leopard as a neutral lately (bad plan?)
ReplyDeletelauren
I'm not sure that I would do this, but you rock it! I wore leopard shoes today. :-P
ReplyDeleteWow! You look fantastic, lady! Thanks for the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI'll add my compliments too. You look really great in this. I love the embellishment on the sweater.
ReplyDeleteYou are totally rocking this look!
ReplyDeleteNow THAT is some bold pattern mixing!
ReplyDeleteAwesomely ferocious predator/ prey pattern mixing!
ReplyDeletesomething in me wants to see a big red belt or something in the middle.
You have balls.
ReplyDeleteAnd I say that with all due respect.
Also, your hair looks amazing right now - love the length and coloring.
I thought the same thing about shobooties, lol!
ReplyDeleteGirl you are brave... Gotta say, not my fave. To each his own though! I'm curious as to what your co-workers said?
DaShannon - I must credit Shabooties to Hillary (http://www.byhillary.com/)
ReplyDeleteJanni - there was very little reaction. One person complimented me, another said "wow!" and the rest just stared.
Hilary is wearing cheetah today too! I am wearing a cheetah cardi but not in a blog post... I missed the memo.
ReplyDeleteLove the print mix. Should you claw with one hand and hoof with the other though? Just to be fair?
:)

I would never think to do this, but it looks really good.
ReplyDeleteIt might look nice with a wide black belt to break up the patterns.
ReplyDeletethe one time I don't like what you wear in ... forever!!!
ReplyDeletebut I think it takes a bold personality and quite the confidence to try such a bold look.
in fashion, sometimes you win, sometimes you loose.
fail for me.
I have been doing this for years... love the bold look of layered animal prints with my gray hair... I love to throw in RED and it all works together... I agree, it's a fabulous look!
ReplyDeleteI love your skirt! I also must admit that your legs look SO Sexy in with that skirt and in those tights!
