Leopard, oh how I love thee!
A handful of my girlfriends are probably laughing at this right now because
it is an ongoing joke between us when it comes to me and leopard.
Let's just say, I am was "that" girl.
That girl that may or may not have worn a leopard top with matching leopard pants.
I may or may not have pictures to prove it.
It may or may not show up on the blog one day.
Enough about that, back to leopard.
It's back (did it ever leave), it's everywhere and I couldn't be happier.
In my humble opinion, leopard is a print that is timeless.
Disagree? I am ready for a friendly debate.
If styled in small doses, you won't look like a modern day Peg Bundy or
a cast member of Jersey Shores. Promise.
This is one print that can turn out all kinds of WRONG and
the reason so many women steer clear of it.
Here are a three tips to keep in mind when shopping or wearing leopard:
Don't mix with other patterns or other leopard. It's a stand alone print.
Keep accessories to a minimum and pair with solid colors.
Keep it simple and make it your statement piece.
So, are you a leopard friend or foe?
Any pieces you are lusting over this season?
I have a few more items on my wish list.

Always a fan of leopard! Looks so adorable with pops of red. Love it:)
I am not very bold when it comes to my outfit choices, so I tend to stay away from animal prints... But, I am starting to add in a little bit here and there and I think this dress is adorable!
Love the dress! I think I might look for a skirt or maybe some shoes this fall...

Hello Gorgeous! I am a leopard friend! Even though I don't have much of it in my closet.. yet... :) Well done Old Navy. How come when I go in there I can't find anything?
I love YOU + leopard but me? not so much - I love the print but I'm a simpleton & just don't think I have the swag to pull it off quite like you do ;) Good looks, lady!
Right now I am leopard obsessed. This dress is great on you. Love the necklace with a pop of color.
Loveee!
Definitely will be buying this dress today! :):)
Love leopard, and I agree - it doesn't go out of style so long as it's styled correctly! The tips you gave are spot on. It is a busy print, so it's best to keep it pretty basic everywhere else!
Love this dress and great tips! I have leopard flats that I wear with everything. Leopard is a neutral to me...haha.

Ok,I never wear animal prints because I don´t like them on me.And they really tend to look ....... !But you look so classy and chic and the red goes really well with that print!All thumbs up!xx
My sister is a HUGE leopard girl! She has always loved the print and now that she works for a school who's mascot is the leopards... well, let's just say she loves having the excuse to wear at least something leopard nearly every day! ;) She'd love your dress to pieces! :)
Aw, so CUTE! Can't believe how well the necklace and shoes match!

Oh my gosh...this is just way too cute! I love leopard print and red together. You look amazing!
You are so pretty!!! The dress is nice though too :-)
Saw the print and knew I had to stop by..LOVE IT..but I disagree with the pattern mixing..you can definitely do it if done right! a smaller print not one as bold as this!

Love the dress! I tend to pair leopard with solids too, and it looks great with so many colors - so fabulous with your red; I also love it with the turquoise necklace I wore in my statement necklace post...
AGREED 100%. Leapord is timeless and classic. Love the red accessories you paired, lookin' Lovely mama!
This is a great dress and I love the red accents!
1) I'm so envious of all the comment you get on blog posts by 10am. 2) You look hot in leopard, momma!! Love that you paired it with a pop of color in the necklace and shoes :)
Really adorable dress, Shanna! I have a co-worker that wears head to toe leopard, FYI. I'd love to take a photo. :) I feel like you can mix leopard with other prints if it's done in small does, like a leopard belt or leopard flats.

Adorable!!! Leopard looks good on you!! :)
You are hilarious! And I like Peg Bundy! Plus you are gorgeous and you could wear a dress made of dishtowels and look amazing. I love the pop of color with the leopard!
As long as you don't chase down your prey for dinner I am all for you and this cat species look. You look gorgeous!
I agree leopard goes with everything and can do no wrong!
Love me some leopard. Glad it's back...even though I'm like you; I didn't know it left!
The Dress looks great on you!! I'm all for leopard prints! Love it! :)
I love your leopard!! One of my favorites of yours! I think it looks great with the red accessories & on you!
I am such a leopard print girl and I absolutely love it mixed with red, so I am adoring this look on you! Perfect, girl!

I am so crazy about this dress!
You better work that leopard!!! I'm glad you were 'that' girl! :-)
I just might have to get this dress...and you just might see it on my blog sometime soon!
I love leopard! It's reached neutral status for me - I think it goes great with so much (but red is a special favorite like you're wearing!). You look fabulous!!
Love. Love. Love this. Leopard and red? My two favorite things!

Super cute and you look amazing. Love the dress, necklace and shoes! Great post xoxoxox
I had to have a leopard intervention with my little sister. More than once, actually.
I am leopard-obsessed, too!
But truth be told, I mix leopard with other prints, in small doses! Leopard shoes or a leopard belt can totally go with another print - I promise! ;)
Now... I need this dress!

I. Am. Obsessed. With. Your. Dress. Leopard NEVER goes out of fashion, in my opinion, but I'm so glad it's considered "trendy" again. I need this dress ASAP!
Leopard friend FOR SURE. It's one of my most favorite things. This dress is to die for! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! You look beautiful, as always!!
cute dress! I think i have the same one in yellow which I like a lot but I like it even better in leopard! Love the way you styled it too!

I love everything about that outfit!! You look great! :) I saw some shoes similar to those at payless this weekend too...I may have to go back and get them now.
Very cute, I love the way the accessories make the outfit pop.
GRRRR baby you look amazing! You can never go wrong with animal prints + gold in my eyes!
Love it, yet don't own any leopard. Except maybe a scarf somewhere.
And I may be the only other person old enough in these parts to get the Peg Bundy reference! Loved it.
Adorbs!!!! I'm so a fellow leopard friend. You can't go wrong with a leopard dress! Love that you paired your dress with hints of red.. such a perfect combo! xoxoxo
Great dress and necklace! Followed you from Marion's link up. I'm your newest follower.

i love leopard and I wore it all the time when i was younger...in both brown and grey...had/have shoes and shirts and i just recently bought a skirt. My favorite print!! ANd with that being said you look GORGEOUS!!!!
I've always been scared of leopard. I just thought it looked really tacky. But they blogging world has convinced me that it's chic! haha... So I started small with some shoes and a belt and now I own my first leopard blouse! Aren't you proud?!
I saw that dress at ON today and thought it was really cute!

i think leopard is timeless - but definitely styled right! my first thought at your pictures was 'leopard and red - THE classic combo!' it looks great on you and pairing it with the red accessories was just a great choice for timelessness

I JUST bought a bunch of stuff on OldNavy.com and totally knew where that dress was from as soon as I saw it :)
I can't buy dresses online becuase I need to try them on, otherwise it'd be in my "cart". You look awesome!
leopard & red is my favorite combo!

i'm a leopard fan in small doses , like my loafers--- but you rock that dress lady!
First off, love this whole look. I'm not sure I've seen red played in with leopard this way and it's just gorgeous. Second, leopard IS a neutral in my opinion. I think every well-dressed woman should have a little of it in their closet :)
Thanks for linking up Shanna!
XO - Marion
Totally wearing this dress on my blog today. I chose red and neutral accessories too:)I can't wait to see all the ways we style it this fall!
I'm definitely a friend of leopard. It's almost like a neutral color for me-it can be worn with anything-as long as it's in small doses like you said!

You are gorgeous and I love absolutely everything about this look. That color is amazing with leopard print.
