Maybe it was the day spent at the zoo with Landon or maybe it was the $6 H&M price tag but something inspired me to wear animal print. I rarely ever wear animal print and if I do it's in small doses, very small doses. But this tank is easy, breezy and really the print isn't overpowering. It's a level I can handle. With it's high/low style your bum is well covered, good thing because the skirt is obvi "form fitting". For work, I added color with a cardigan and rocked camel flats and belt. For 5 o'clock cocktails... loose the cardigan, add some jewelry and summertime wedges then all you need is a fresh  drink with a little kick and a lime please!

Do you wear animal print? Is it too daring or safe enough for your style?
What color would you have added to this black and white look?
Turquoise? Red?

I'm running my Summer Kickoff 5K today!!!
Monday night's workout was inside at the gym so today's outdoor run is much needed! I really, really LOVE that so many of you are participating in the virtual 5K... I wish I could get there and run with each of you! But I'm there in spirit and I'm there cheering you on through the highs and lows of your run! And trust me, I think of you all during my highs and lows too! How about these race bibs making our 5K totally legit?!!



They're awesome! And just perfect! Rekita at Her and Nicole hooked us up with these speedy race bibs! All of her design work is impressive and these are no exception. BIG thanks and hugs to you Rekita!

  17. I like this on you! I'm not normally a huge fan of animal print, either. I keep it to really small/unobtrusive doses usually.

    For the all B&W outfit, I would've added pops of red AND turquoise, just little bits of each.

  21. I found your blog thorough Wildcard Wednesdays! I'm a new follower now because I love you blog. I'd love if you'd check mine out too if you have time!

    I love wearing leopard. I think it's versatile because it's a print that looks great with so many colors! I also usually wear it in small doses, accessories like shoes, scarves etc.

    So glad I found your blog :)
