This Season's Gold

On the Road with Stripes and Leopard

Stripes and red lips

Happy Sunday! Being able to share my love for fashion and actually be in the clothes on the blog has been a long road I’ve had to travel.  From losing baby weight after a loss (this takes on a whole new meaning!) to fitting in those skinny jeans (why do we do it to ourselves, ladies?), it was not easy. But here I am. And this look is quite symbolic for my current state of mind.

There are so many theories out there as to why stripes and leopard print is pleasing to the eye, and I’ve chalked it up to the basic rule that nature dictates what we wear. You’ve got the leopard and the zebra. One predator. One prey. In chase. And that’s exactly where I am now. Some days I’m very much the predator, taking advantage of all that I have going for me in life. On other days, the world is very much on my hide, chasing me down with moments that are forever different in the way I perceive them. But here I am.

And in fashion, there’s nothing you can’t handle with a fierce pair of red suede pumps! So however you want to put it together, get yourself some stripes, some leopard print and something red (even if only the lips!) and go take on the world!

      Mindy, Thanks for the visit and comment. It’s fun to add color to an otherwise neutral outfit. xoxo, Jessica

    Hey Jessica- I love this casual but stylish look. I have been lusting after that Clare V leopard clutch for so long but have yet to get it. Definitely on my want list though.

      Hi Stephie, It’s a MUST HAVE bag, right? I couldn’t wait to get it and it took almost a year after ordering it that I received it. Shipment went elsewhere. Glad to have it. You should keep an eye out for the sales other than just the CV site. Hope you get it and see it on your site soon! xoxo, Jessica
