A Leopard Cannot Change His Spots


So yeah, I'm wearing my leopard tights. I love leopard print so I don't know why I haven't worn these babies in forever. Leopard is such a wonderful print and I could literally wear it head-to-toe from the pieces I have (leopard coat, cardigan, dress, tights, flats...). I'm hunting for the perfect leopard print pillbox hat and beret, but I'm being picky so it is proving difficult to find them. When I finally track them down I'll be able to dress like an eccentric, old lady and life will be good.
Also, it was raining on me in these pictures. I don't mention every time it rains on me when I take pictures and it happens more than I like. I think the miserable weather made me feel a bit more eccentric and a need to experiment slightly with the wardrobe. Out of that came this outfit which is slightly unusual for me, although built from pieces I love.

Outfit details:
H&M dress
leopard tights, street vendor in Greece

I love the leopard print with your two toned cardigan! great contrast

I think it would hilariously awesome to see you in a 100% leopard print one day, head to toe, only you could rock it

Love your leopard print tights. Great outfit!SarahD:)

Mae Lu said...

This is a wonderful study in contrasts! The bag and shoes wonderfully match the tights while everything else is in opposition to everything else.

It's retro and chic and quirky, just like you! It's lovely.

Every time you wear this cardigan I am reminded of two-face but in a good way. :) Eccentric but artistic at the same time.

You look like a secretary from a novel I would write. Which means, BADASS.

Ruta, Look Ugly in a Photograph said...

I really like this outfit. I've been looking for leopard print tights but I haven't found any.

Btw, in regards to the bag post above, does that tripod hold your camera well. You use a DSLR, right? Because I have a big strong tripod that I use most of the time, but I'd like a small one that I can shove in a big bag when I go downtown or to school, but I'm scared that it won't hold my camera steady, especially when I turn it vertically.

Belle said...

I actually love this outfit. One of my favourites of yours for sure.
