Hi, my name is Melissa and I don't like to wear pants.
Well, it's not that I like to walk around without bottoms on, I just prefer to wear dresses, skirts, and shorts. It's expected since I'm a Florida girl, so you can imagine my disappointment when Friday morning rolled around with much cooler temperatures and I had to crack open my bins and pull out a pair of jeans. However, this made way for some great opportunities to go out over the weekend and spot some fall trends provided by the fabulous people of New York City.
It's been rainy so people are trying to stay dry, but even despite that, there were quite a few fall trends being displayed on the streets. One in particular was leopard print!
Meoooow. I'm a "Future Crazy Cat Lady of America" so of course I love this trend. We've seen leopard print on the streets for a number of seasons now and it doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon. I mainly saw leopard print scarves and shoes and I think it's because it's an easy way to punch up a bland fall outfit. Pairing almost any leopard print with black, red, or tan are probably the safest colors you can mix with the print, but experiment with others as well like blues, purples, greens, etc., just as long as it fits your personal style. These two friends were both on board with this trend, with the one on the left using her scarf to keep her hair dry from the drizzling rain and the one on the right took a brave chance in wearing leopard pants and pulled it off with a plain black pullover. This picture was taken right before I stole her Dior bag and nude Louboutins, but what a waste--not even my size!
Unfortunately, my eyes were witness to someone doing leopard a great injustice by wearing not one, not two, but THREE different leopard prints (all of which were far too tight for her, as well) and of course it was when I had forgotten my camera in my other purse. Although her leopard print fur jacket was faux, I was hoping PETA protesters would come splash her with red paint just so the rest of NYC didn't have to witness this tragedy. So please, folks, NEVER DO THIS ever, ever, EVER!
Now go pull out your best leopard and show your wild side...tastefully, of course.
