Hello, Beauties🌸 Today’s post is all about leopard, the new neutral is spot-on-chic, sexy & cool.

Leopard Dress with Red Booties

Many bloggers are having their say about the iconic pattern.  Now, it’s my turn.  I believe we all agree; the leopard print offers a barometer of chicness.

Is there nothing new under the sun? Leopard print has a habit of going in and out of style. It looks like it’s in again. Let’s check out the meow-worthy wardrobe staple through the years.  Some of my favorite fashion icons sporting the spotty pattern and mention of one fashion designer, Charles James:

It’s easy to jazz up an outfit treating leopard as a neutral. How do you pull off the meow looks? Are you adventurous embracing more than one cat print at one-time?  How about bright animal prints like neons or fluorescent? Or are you just a touch kind of girl with just accessories?  Do tell in the comments section.
