earn your stripes

I've been a little bit wild lately with all the animal prints ... and I'm so not sorry about it.

If that wasn't enough, I'm pairing these prints with a perfect peplum, lets take a peek...

If you want to dabble in animal print mixing, you don't have to go over the top. Start by playing it safe with just a hint of mixing, I just used a little bit of leopard to get the look without going overboard. 

 If you have a sleeveless or short sleeve peplum top, try giving it sassy twist by layering a collared blouse underneath! Oh, and fyi, A basic short sleeve blouse is a good basic to have for all your layering needs!

All black & white can be chic, but also borderline boring! So if you find yourself in a b&w outfit, pump up your look with a pop of color! A bright shoe or bold bag can be your perfect little pop to help take a look from drab to fab.
