Meow

15 Aug

I wish I could get away with wearing this dress absolutely everywhere I go. I feel like this dress screams ME! It may just be the Leo inside me that is attracted to this wild cat cheetah print. So I’ve been waiting for the right moment to wear it with these shoes. The hologram straps and the floral print heels of the shoes add the perfect mix-matched element for this outfit.

But then, I’ve been also wanting to wear my little yellow purse. It’s a bright yellow, but seems to match the yellow tones of the dress perfectly. I got it because it reminded me of my favorite Kate Spade purse I was never able afford. Yes this outfit is a little wild, but it’s not an everyday outfit. Not for work, not for hanging out with your parents, probably not for school and a few other things. But it works for a date/drinks/dancing, a concert, a party.

      I don’t have too much leopard, my only other thing is a scarf, but I’m loving it more and more. I really wanted a leopard pair of jeans. Target had some, but the quality was not that great so I passed on them.

    Eli, this dress is purrrrfect on you! (Sorry, couldn’t resist…and really, it’s more of a “sorry, I’m not sorry”.) The fit, the print, the shape – love it all! 

    And, I know I always say it, but I love those shoes. ;)

      I went through hell and high water to get this dress, hunted it at Zara with no avail for a long time, finally found it on ebay after lots of searching. I need to start wearing it as a skirt.

    That outfit- its gorgeous. Not normally a leopard print fan, but I love this! The shoes/handbag combo brings it all together, I think….

      Thanks Kristian, I could be happy wearing this dress every day if I could :)

  • Hello

    I don’t think I’d necessarily wear the shoes with the dress, but it looks cute on you :)

    • http://www.thrifteye.com/ Eli

      Well, I appreciate your honesty, cause I know that even I wouldn’t wear it like this all the time. It’s just a fun outfit, not an every day one you know?

    It that the little bag from Old Navy that looked like the Kate Spade cambridge satchel wannabe?! How much was it?

      Thanks :) I’m not an arm party kind of gal, but I like to have special accessories instead 

  • http://www.styleporn.blogspot.com/ Joanna

    DISAGREE! I would totally wear this to work. Maybe if you pair it with a more conservative shoe and/or a cardigan you could pull it off even in a conservative workplace?? This is begging to be worn at work. It would make everyone so happy!

      All the senior citizens I work with would have heart attacks if I wore this dress to work!! I feel sad I don’t work at a hip place :(

    i am definitely in love with this look! so cute, and the bright accessories make it even better.
    (this reminds me i need to wear my leopard print dress again soon!)
