Leopard Print Pumps: Nine West

Leopard Print Scarf: Stolen from my grandmother

Decided to use my leopard print accessories today to ease into wearing black and brown together. I think the colors look so chic worn together but it's scary because people said it was such a faux pas for so many years.

I really love this skirt. You can't tell in the picture but it has buttons all down the side. I bought the same skirt in a colored tweed when they came out and the black one was only available one size larger so I went ahead and bought it even though I could grab wads of fabric at my hips. I can't believe I would ever be happy at being a size larger or anything but I am soooo glad this skirt still fits. It's truly one of my favorite items in my closet. You can probably tell I have a real affinity for the knee length pencil skirt. Since I am built so straight, I've found I can wear it without "bumps" at my hips as my mom so eloquently says and it actually adds some curves.

Received a ton of compliments on this outfit at work today. I think it was the classy- conservative at the top that worked it's way down to high leopard print peep toes that gave the extra spark that people seemed to comment on.

Funny comment from a co-worker today--she described someone as "the one who dresses like a nice church girl." I said in my best offended voice, "I'm a nice church girl!!!!" (and I am). The response, "Yes, but you're flashy." Not much to say in response there.
