Ross, my hubs and photographer, had bigger fish to fry, so I had to iPhone photo myself for this post. How dare he go out of town for work to provide for our family. I am glad my parents taught me how to be resourceful and not rely on a man. Kidding! Totally kidding! He actually did go out of town which resulted to this...
I got these leopard denim pants awhile back. I have only worn them a few times because I always felt they could only make an appearance after the sun goes down. "After hours" are really the only times I have worn them. You know, during a Vegas girls weekend and date night with the Ross.
I was determined to figure out a daytime version. A casual version. All it took was throwing on an un-tucked pink oxford with some flats to not feel like I was heading to the club.
I will say, when I was out and about, I received a few confused looks. What? Come on, people. Haven't you ever seen a grown woman wear leopard denim before? Sheesh. Oh, well. I like them and now that I have figured out the toned-down effect, I will be wearing them more often.
Just in case you actually like something from this outfit, I recreated it here with links for you to shop.

Do you have something in your closet that you don't think you could pull off from 9 to 5?
Did you see yesterday's post? If not, there is a $330 necklace up for grabs! Make sure to go enter yourself a few times.

Such a great outfit! I love your pants & you can never go wrong with pairing them with pink :) Have a great weekend friend!
You pulled off this look effortlessly. Looks fab!! Have a great weekend dear!
what fun pants!! I'm pretty sure you could rock any outfit! :) Happy weekend!
SO SO cute!! The pink shirt looks really good with leopard print. You could also try wearing them with a denim shirt for a day-time look..?
I always feel a little weird wearing a bodycon dress during the day, So when I do I always make sure I have on a loose top or sweater over it.
I have a lot of sparkly tops and accessories that don't think I could ever wear to work. I don't work in a creative field and I think people would look at me and go, "did you not change from last night????"
Love this look girl! How dare your husband not stick around and be a photographer?! Ha ha, you crack me up!

HAve a wonderful weekend Shanna!
I love those pants! The Target jeans never fit me right, so I've been on the hunt for some leopard denim. I'll keep your daytime styling tips in mind when I find them

Too cute!! I got a pair of pants just like those and haven't worn them, yet. A little scared, maybe. :) Thanks for sharing! xo
I think this totally works for a daytime casual look! Those people giving the looks clearly don't know that printed denim is IN! I usually only wear my sequin tank at night...I could probably wear it during the day but I think I'd get the weird looks too :) Have a great weekend, Shanna!

You look great! I have several outfits that I adore but not sure they could be work appropriate - maybe I should try anyhow?
I have those leopard pants in grey and I haven't even worn the darn things because I feel like they are too scandalous or something. So this really hit home for me! I'm gonna have to use this style formula!
Shanna, that outfit is all glamour! I'm actually wearing the same pants in a blog post today which was inspired (or totally copied ;) from you! Hope you have a great weekend, lady!
I'm actually in love with this outfit. Those pants are absolutely fabulous!! And I love how your re-created your look with a collage.
I love it Shanna! I am a huge fan of finding ways to "tone down" a look.. so you can still wear the hot trend! :D You do it well. I love the leopard with the pink.
Great outfit!!! Seriously in love with the leopard pants :)

those pants are so awesome, they loko great on you. loving printed pants for fall! :)
i have a ton of stuff in my wardrobe like that-- mostly fun party dresses from college that never see the light of day now. sad..
Love the leopard!Such a great outfit!
Let's be honest...I never wear half of what's in my closet for one reason or another, but I never get rid of them "just in case"
Adorable pants ! I say let em stare, they're the ones wearing regular, boring old pants. Cute look.
Wow, I absolutely love this classy look that you put together with the leopard denim! Leopard denim is on my fall wish list :) Your jewelry works perfectly with this look!

I love the light pink with the leopard! It's perfect for a daytime look. And don't take the confused looks personally. I just tell myself that they obviously don't know what's fashionable these days ;) Have a fabulous weekend!

You are totally rockin those leopard pants! I love them! I just found your blog over at the give away, I am excited to read more! Come follow along http://sjdmiller.blogspot.com
i have this same pair and i always get looks!! people are just jealous that they aren't brave enough to take a fashion risk! at least i tell myself that when people are staring me down.
i loved the pink oxford you paired with it. I've done a denim chambray shirt and a plain cream tee. you're kinda making me want to try a color though... hmm. thanks for the inspiration!! xoxo
I LOVE the subdued pink with them! So perfect!
I have these jeans in gray, and now I really want to buy them in tan... I'm a crazed "multiples" purchaser.
Anyway, I loooove these with the pink top. SO cute!
<3 The Daily Dani
Super cute, as always!!! I'm loving any type of leopard print and pink is my fav color:)
What would we do without our husband/photographers?! They deserve a blog award or something...although they probably wouldn't appreciate it. haha..
I'm surprised you got confused looks...it's a great casual/leopard outfit!
