Less Than Subtle Statements...

After a long week of dark rain clouds and zero shopping excursions, I'm needing a bit of a "pick me up". With high hopes of bringing some life and zest to my wardrobe, I'm thinking shiny shoes and leopard accessories. Neither will go unnoticed. 
Neptune Embellished Boots- Topshop- $40 
Lula Glitter Ballet Flats- J.Crew- $135
Bodelaire Ballet Flats- J.Crew- $100
Glitter Ballerina- Zara- $100
Peach Sequined Up Lace Oxfords- Forever 21- $20
If these shoes don't make you feel happy, see a doctor immediately. They're the perfect finishing touch to any spring outfit.


Leopard Ankle Boot- Zara- $140
Leopard Print Leatherette Handbag- Forever 21- $23
Narla Leopard Multi Strap Sandals- Zara- $80 
Sluder Scarf- Aldo- $18
Michael Kors Skinny Leopard Belt with Pyramid Studs- Macy's- $45
Leopard Flap Purse- Topshop- $40
Betsey Johnson Heart Studs- Piperlime- $25

Leopard prints are definitely back ladies. Now I'm not a fan of wearing leopard print dresses or pants but a little pop of cheetah adds some much needed spice to a tame outfit. Worried you may not be able to pull this trend off? Check out the way these stars add a pop of leopard print to their look, and pull some similar pieces from your own closet to make it work. 
Olivia Palermo adds leopard print booties to an otherwise bland outfit. Do the same by putting together an outfit with a very neutral color palette.
Sienna Miller pairs this scarf with basic colors like black and grey. The scarf is what takes this outfit from blah to carefree and fun.
She also shows how to work a leopard print handbag with a bold dress. Try wearing your own leopard purse with a solid bright dress for an outfit that'll be sure to catch eyes.
Olivia pairs her printed belt with a solid black dress for a more classic look. So pull out your LBD and add give it a little spice! :)
