Feelin' Spotty



My latest fashion-y desire? A leopard print skirt. Either pencil-shaped or a miniskirt. I don't know why, but I so want to pair one with black tights for the upcoming season. Done right, I think a leopard print skirt can look classy 'n sassy, but it's easy to wear the skirt in a way that will make you look decidedly trashy. I scoured the internet for non-trashy examples of how to wear the skirt - they were pretty hard to find, to tell you the truth - and here's what I came up with:





The last two examples are from Hot Topic and Urban Outfitters, but I think they're over-priced, so I'm gonna have to keep looking for my skirt. As for styling, don't you think that top picture is fantastic? I am so lovin' it.

Bring on the spots! Me-WOW!

Indeed, so easy to go wrong. I think a longer pencil-shaped skirt (well, longer than a mini, I mean) would be easier to pull off. Actually, I can see it now, combined with that Nubby Twiglet tee you just got! :D

Ha that's just what I was thinking! Actually, the shirt is kinda what reminded me I wanted a leopard print skirt, because it just suddenly popped into my head that that would look great with it.

The top picture is the best.

When doing animal prints, I think it's best to stick with the natural colours. And not do purple like the third girl. It seems a bit tacky.

I agree, although I do think the third girl did a good job wearing all things ladylike with the purple skirt and managed to work it out. Still, I don't think I would wear the purple.

I usually pair mine with some sort of black top and boots, like in . My skirt is actually bias cut, though it kind of almost looks like a pencil in that picture.

You wear that skirt well!
