It's Friday, it's really hot and I can't string sentences together so I'm afraid you're getting an outfit post.
I've been trying to come to terms with my dislike for certain kinds of animal print like leopard. Well, the best way to confront your fears is to meet them head on, as they say. So when I was charity shopping a few weeks ago I found this pretty awful furry, leopard print pinafore. It was so awful I had to buy it.
Last night I eventually took it out of the bag and hacked it off into and skirt and had a look to see if I could, in any way, carry off a hairy, leopard print skirt!
American Apparel headband and blouse, Tabio tights, Carin Wester shoes, Giia neckpiece
Le Tour de Force headpiece, Slayer t-shirt (please someone take this off me because I wear it constantly - no don't because I'll bite your hand off!), Tabio tights, River Island boots
Topshop top, Norwegian Wood cardie, vintage hat, Storets leggings, All Saints shoes
I'd most likely, surprise surprise, to wear the Slayer tee ensemble as it feels less animal print for some reason and, in general, the whole look is what I'm most comfortable in at the moment. Although I've also been wearing my Le Tour De Force headband a lot too and it's supposed to be for the awards, but I love it so and it makes my head happy!

your hair is so pretty

You pull of the leopard pretty well, my favourite is the top red ensemble but I do like the Slayer one too. Reign in blood Queen Michelle

Welcome to the dark side dearest! The other day I pulled out an old leopard skirt and wore it with an ancient Triumph tshirt and studded belt. It felt more relaxed and less "frou frou". I love the red combo, but of course the Slayer outfit suits my tastes perfectly! Also loving the last, the addition of the printed tights was genius! As always you look great every way you style an outfit!

I love the red and leopard outfits. I always loved red, black, and leopard together in my younger days...(I'm only 30 and I say "my younger days") I am still so inlove with leopard, I will be one of those 70 year old ladies in it!

you do the leopard print really well. i have a hard time with animal prints, my husband hates them and always makes a big deal if i even look at an animal print. a big deal.
though i'd really like to give it a go after seeing what you are doing!

I ADORE the skirt! Yes, the caps lock was completely necessary.

that makes me nostalgic for a velvet leopard print mini skirt I had aged 10... oh I loved that skirt! a bit ridiculous but I wish I had it again bigger!

I'm a self confessed leopard addict, so naturally this look is one of my faves!

Liking the hat, you suit it and makes a nice change :) x

The one with the slayer t-shirt feels very high school punk-rock to me. That's not a bad thing either :)
