Floral meets Big Cats


All remixed except top
Top: Kohl's about two or three years ago
Skirt: Tulle
Shoes: Sam & Libby via DSW
Earrings: Banana Republic

I would like y'all to know that I have had this shirt hanging in my closet for about two or three years and I've never worn it. I mean, I've put it on a few times and then taken it off because it wasn't quite right for the look I was going for.


This morning I knew it was the day to actually wear this out in public, and I thought it'd work well with my indigo Tulle skirt. But the shoes had me worried - which shoes was I going to wear with this while being weather appropriate and not too stodgy. I knew I didn't want to break out my nude pumps just yet, but I wasn't totally sold on these leopard print shoes....


And then I decided that leopard goes with everything. People are always singing the praises of stripes and florals, but I'm going to say that animal prints can work just as well with any florals in your closet.


I look so stinkin' sad in that picture...but you can see my earrings.

And a couple Turkey pics:

And from the inside....

  1. Frances, love this outfit, that top especially! I also love the way you are wearing your hair. Turkey seems to be a beautiful place, I've never been, my son's school offers a trip to Turkey for a very reasonable price and I would love to go but no kids, just adults, so I can't leave my baby behind! =)

  3. Absolutely, leopard goes with EVERYTHING! Florals and stripes, florals and leopard...maybe it's florals that can go with anything, I can't decide. :)

    You look fantastic!

  6. @ Shey, too bad it's adults only. Turkey was truly amazing!

    @ Melissa: Maybe it IS florals that play nicely with everything else! Ha! Great observation.

  7. That skirt is perfect.
    I hate it when that happens. You have a garment that has been tried on SO MANY times yet never worn. I have a cape like that, it's been in my closet for over a year !
    I will wear you damn cape.
