How to Wear Leopard Print Like a Neutral

by Kayla Smith November 17, 2017

Leopard print will never go out of style!

Let me tell you: I’m a sucker for leopard print. I have been since I was a teenager (I even wore a leopard print prom dress…The horror!) and I still love it now. I asked my husband if my pair of leopard print shoes matched my outfit and he told me they went with everything. That’s not necessarily true, but it’s so easy to wear leopard print like a neutral and our conversation is the inspiration for this post! Here’s a few tips I put together on how to incorporate leopard print into your wardrobe.

Clothing

I found that when I wear leopard print as a focal point rather than an accessory it makes my outfit easier to dress up or down. My definition of a focal point is a shirt, skirt, dress or pants. This shirt is from Pink Blush and I love it! I went for a more neutral look with jeans and black slip-ons. However, you could dress it up with tucking the top into a skirt and adding a pop of color on the lips.

Accessories

Accessories are the best way to show off your personality, however a lot of them can make or break an outfit. I choose to get minimalistic pieces that I can use with majority of outfits whether that be shoes, a purse or even a scarf. For example, I wear my leopard print flats regularly. They’re the perfect addition to dress up or down. Slip on a pair with a cute top and jeans or a colored dress any day of the week. I love to wear them specifically to mix up colors and patterns to mix up my style.

I hope this gave you some ideas on how to wear leopard print like a neutral. I’m convinced animal prints will never go out of style so I know you’ll be wearing your favorite pieces for years to come. Let me know your favorite ways to wear animal print and if you want other styling tips, head to my other outfit posts.

New Ways to Wear Old Clothes

Happy New Year!

What a year it was! I know 2016 has had some lows but I can honestly say this was one of the best years of my life. Taz proposed to me on New Year’s Eve last year. He and I got married in May. I interned with a top-ranking news station in Salt Lake City. We moved into a cute little apartment in Provo and have weekly adventures around Utah. I even started this blog last year and I am so grateful for all of you who read my content and support me in what I love to do most.

With the new year, I firmly believe you dress for what you want: luck, a dinner date, a girl’s night out or even a night in. Even though it is a new year, there are still ways to wear clothing that you still have previously that can be worn in new ways.

The two styles I like are edgy and classic. Edgy looks are all about texture. Fringe, leather, lace and fur are only a few suggestions. The options are endless so combine your favorites to create a look that is all your own.

Black, white and gray are basically all I wear on a day to day basis. I love to mix-and-match prints to create my own individual personality with basic pieces. Personally, I like to wear big patterns with little patterns to balance the outfit without seeming too busy. It helps switch up new ways to wear old clothes.

I know these new ways to wear old clothes helped me get the most out of my wardrobe. I provided a few links to similar products at the end of this post.

Be sure to share your outfits with me and start experimenting!

Outfits to Wear with OTK boots

by Kayla Smith December 21, 2016

written by Kayla Smith

OTK (Over-the-knee) boots are becoming a huge trend this season and will hopefully carry on into the new year.

I usually try not to get wrapped in the newest pieces unless I love them and they can become a must-have piece to my wardrobe that I will wear again and again. My OTK boots did not disappoint.

They are becoming a staple in my fall and winter wardrobe because they are so versatile. I have some of the most fun with these boots pairing them with different outfits. I can dress it up with sparkly blouse and skirt or down with a sweater and jeans. The ties on the back keep them in place no matter what I am doing while still keeping their look. They’re also so comfortable that I wore them to school for three days straight. On the side, there is a zipper to help when putting them on but it does take a little extra time taking them off.

I liked the look of the classic black suede but sadly, my pair is out of stock. I found a couple that are similar to mine including wine-colored which is slowly becoming a neutral for me since they go with everything! Be sure when purchasing your over-the-knee boots that they are something that you are comfortable in and the color is something you will enjoy for years to come.
