Ok, so yesterday I went very basic pairing leopard print with black. This is the easiest and shall I even say tamest (hehe) way to go with this wild print. But, today, I’m just going to go for it, and pair bold with bold. Why not! Take this wild print and match it with even more. Don’t worry about being OTT (over the top); just embrace it! The last time I featured this sweatshirt was out at my cabin in my cowboy boots sitting on my leopard sofa. With one of my very favorite sweatshirts, this time around I’ve gone with an Asian flare mini, and since I already had a lot going on with both the top and bottom, I threw in some studded boots as well. (These are a recent score from the Ruglane Market I attended last weekend.) Hey, call it pattern mixing or just pair bold with bold.
I have to admit something: I love it when Gigi is my photographer. Here I am in a pretty wild outfit, and ironically, she just brings out the zany Annie. My smile feels pretty bright along this bold styling.
Ok, what do you think?
Pair bold with bold and go wild or stick to tame styling leopard print with black?

Love this look! I don’t think I have a leopard top – but I’m definitely going to take another look at going bold with leopard! You are too cute!
Thank you so much Cindy! I know you ROCK leopard!! A x
Hi, enjoying your blog. As for why some people are leopard people, see Carol Tuttle’s energy types. Type 3 (which it looks to me like you are from your face) love animal prints. They overwhelm Type 2s, are too dark and irregular for Type 1s and not symmetrical enough for Type 4s. That’s the quick and dirty explanation. Keep up the good work!
Oh my gosh Christine! I cannot wait to go read about Tuttle’s energy types. Thank you so much for introducing me to this concept. I bet you are right. This question has been nagging on me. I know it has nothing to do with boldness or confidence. I have a colleague, friend and fellow fashion blogger that I shoot with, Norbyah from I’m a Norbyah. She’s the one who has me confused. She super bold in her choices–like some of the things she wears, I’d never think of donning. But, leopard, she shies away from. It has had me stumped, but I think you might be on to something.
Thank you so much! What type are you?
Thanks again. Love, Ann
Look at you having so much fun in your little embellished skirt! It’s pretty clear that you’re loving this outfit Annie!
