The Wild Side Of Fall!

 

 LEOPARD AND IT'S MANY LOOKS

Sometimes people think you have to be brave, or exotic to wear leopard, or to use it in your home. 

They are probably not far off in that thought process, but once you wear it or use it in your home, you will be hooked.

Leopard is a staple in my Fall wardrobe, and I have also used it in my home in the past. Because it is such a statement pattern it should be used with restraint. A little of a good thing goes a looooong way!!

I am going to show you some outfits and some rooms today that I feel have used leopard in an appropriate manner.

I do have one rule when it comes to wearing it… Don’t wear matching shoes, purse or clothing item. One piece of leopard goes a long way.

ROOM TO OUTFIT

One single lumbar pillow is the perfect touch in this eclectic room. Just picture the room without the leopard pillow. It doesn’t look quite as dramatic does it?

Here is an outfit that uses a touch of leopard with lavender. Just a touch makes this outfit fun and current.

OUTFIT TO ROOM

This room is so classic in its style and the two armless chairs add just the right amount of pattern in this room.

BLUE AND LEOPARD

Notice only one piece of leopard in her outfit. If she were to have carried a leopard bag or worn leopard shoes it would have been way to much for the outfit.

I adore this room except for Bambi on the wall. Mixing the leopard with the cobalt is a favorite look of mine. This room is so handsome, don’t you think? 

I might have used a black and white pin stripe on the chair. A menswear suiting stripe would have been nice. The chair is just one step too far for my design aesthetics.

Leopard does not have to always be used with darker or autumnal colors it can be use in a room full of spring-like colors as pictured above. This room makes me smile.

I love to wear leopard and also in my home with a pillow or a throw. Nothing over done, just a subtle touch here and there.

To see more uses of leopard in wardrobes, go HERE to see how I would wear it in the Fall.

I also have created a new board dedicated to LEOPARD!!

Do you have leopard in your home or wardrobe? If not I hope this has inspired you to take a leap and us a little leopard this Fall!

If you are new to leopard try a pair of shoes or a clutch. You will be amazed at how many outfits it will go with! Promise!!! 

This is how I add leopard to my Fall wardrobe.....
