How to Wear: Leopard Print

1. Sole Society Lisette - Medium Shoulder Bag sold @ Nordstrom
2. Hive & Honey Torsade Statement Necklace sold @ Piperlime
3. Leopard Print High Waist Pencil Skirt sold @ The Limited
4. Nine West Callen Pump sold @ Nordstrom
5. Silk Blouse sold @ J.Crew

Leopard is one of my favorite prints.  Since it is a bold pattern, I usually like to pair it with a neutral color like black or tan, and then add a little pop of color, like red or orange. 

What to Wear: A Floral Spring Look

1. Floral Dream Stripe Cap Sleeve Dress sold @ Loft
2. Necklace sold @ H&M
3. Vachetta Leather Skinny Belt sold @ Ann Taylor
4. Tinley Road Black and Gold Bangle sold @ Piperlime
5. Shannon Leather Platform Sandals sold @ Ann Taylor

Loft shows the look with a caramel belt and shoes. This is a little too matchy-matchy for me, so I thought I would change it up with black platform heels. They still have a brown heel, which ties in with the belt color but is a little less heavy than an all black sandal. I thought I would add a clear statement necklace with a coral accent ribbon, which is a steal at H&M for $7.95!

How to Wear: Stripes & Floral

1. Sabine Cabachon Floral Bib Necklace sold @ Piperlime
2. Grey Stripe Ponte Academy Blazer sold @ Gap
3. Recycled 1969 Sexy Boyfriend Jeans sold @ Gap
4. Nine West Goulding 3 Pump sold @ Piperlime

I have been thinking about this striped jacket at Gap (and this other one with neon coral stripes, too). I like the pop of the coral color under the lapel and on the cuffs. In putting this outfit together, I decided to pull in some of the other big trends this season with a floral statement necklace and some relaxed, rolled boyfriend jeans. And, for shoes, a classic black pump, but with an open side detail.

Fringe Necklace

I recently purchased this necklace at The Limited (during a 45% off sale!); however, I have struggled with what to wear it with and how to incorporate it into what I have in my own closet verses what the store paired it with. I loved the necklace but just wasn't sure… Recently, I found this sweater at Nordstrom and it sparked an idea that I could pair it with black and my grey denim. When cleaning out my closet this summer, I debated getting rid of my grey jeans that I have had for a few years, and I am so glad that I did not because it is a trend this fall and it worked for this outfit!

So, this is what I came up with from my closet verses the store.

My own closet or similar items:

(similar) Citizens of Humanity Avedon Skinny Leg Jeans sold @ Piperlime
(similar) Martina Pump sold @ Nine West
(similar) Michael Kors Runway Chronograph Watch sold @ Nordstrom
Rubbish Crewneck Sweater sold @ Nordstrom

One other item I would add to my "wish list" and that I would like to pair with this outfit in either the black or bone color, is this item…

The Limited:

Faux Leather Kick Pleat Skirt sold @ The Limited
Basic Opaque Control Top Tights sold @ The Limited
Pointy Toe Heel sold @ The Limited
Ombre Scoopneck Sweater sold @ The Limited
