Animal Print & Navy OOTD

Hey everyone,

Well here I am with yet another animal print outfit of the day :). While some people find animal print itself somewhat intimidating and loud .....and well even hard to pull of. I always believed that animal print done right can and does actually look very classy, sophisticated and elegant. It's considered  a neutral, therefore can be paired with huge variety of things. Animal print never goes out of style and can be worn all year long.

Last Friday, I had a coffee date with a friend and this is the outfit I wore. I choose an animal print sheath long sleeve dress by INC (International Concepts), I purchased sometime last year and paired it with my navy satin trench coat by Michael Kors. For the shoes I decided to go with the navy theme and I wore my navy vinyl leather pumps to tie the outfit together. I initially was thinking black trench and black pumps and animal print .....I mean, no brainier! Right?  .....But than I thought "that is so expected, let's do something more fun and creative". I kept the trench and the shoes in the same color family and quite simple without much going on on them, making the dress itself the statement of the outfit.

I kept hot rollers in my hair while I was doing my makeup. They always create soft romantic curls which I love. My makeup was soft earthy rose smokey eye with chocolate liner for some definition and rosy nude lips and blush. I wanted my makeup to look soft since the dress was  already fierce enough :).

Take care,
Laila
