Tuesday's Trend Report: Leopard


Today's trend report has me seeing spots - literally.  Leopard is showing up all over the place and becoming an every day staple in some people's wardrobe.  It took me awhile to grow appreciation for this print and not reference of Peggy Bundy every time I saw it.

When done right leopard print can add an effortlessly chic look to your ensemble. Or as my friend Schenelle calls, "that pop".  I prefer choosing just one leopard item and pairing it with a staple, classic ensemble.  Others may choose to be more daring by mixing and matching it with other prints as seen on the runways.

I have my eyes set on these leopard wedges from Top Shop. They have enough "pop" but can be toned down with black leggings or 'jeggings' and my chunky knit sweater coat from Urban Outfitters.


Or how about this leopard coat, again from Top Shop. I would rock this with a pair of black, bad-ass ankle boots.
However you choose to rock this trend, have fun with it! Especially leopard print. Paint your lips red and hit the town, you'll leave them seeing spots...
