What’s old is new again. That’s right. Animal prints are back, bigger and bolder. Don’t be afraid; it’s not that leopard skin jacket you remember… Hanging in the old coat closet. This year the style is daring and eclectic. “The leopard is changing its spots.” Yes, bold prints can be worn- and not just with solids. It is a brave new world this time around. For a night on the town, try a little leopard top with a polka-dot skirt. Now that’s fierce! Just make sure the colors don’t clash.
To achieve that classy look, stick to neutral colors; darks and lights go well together. Just about anything goes, except of course, mixing and matching the jungle prints together. That’s a definite faux pas! Stick with one animal at a time. We don’t want to look like we live at the zoo, or have joined the circus.
Animal accessories are available too: Belts, shoes and purses. I have a cheetah hat that I wear when the weather gets cold. Remember, even in the winter months those UV sun rays will damage the skin. Cold weather can dry and chap skin, so add a little extra lemongrass shea butter cream under your sunscreen before applying make-up. Embrace your wild side! Beat the drum! Sound the horn! The natives are coming! You’ll be daring and classy in the latest version of animal print. Have a gro-o-o-owling good time this season.
