For the past few seasons one trend has remained tried and true, and that is animal prints. Initially, I avoided this trend. It’s so easy to make leopard print look reminiscent of Snooki rather than the runway. But as time has gone by, I’ve been extremely impressed and even slightly inspired by some of the chic ensembles I’ve spotted that incorporate leopard, or even zebra, print.
I spotted this Fashionista as I was leaving the art studio. She grabbed my attention with her sheer, sleeveless, animal print button down and light-wash denim shorts with black leather oxfords. She brightens up the ensemble with a playful red patent leather purse. Her outfit flawlessly incorporates animal print while remaining true to her trendy style. She was reluctant to let me snap a photo, due to a few smudges of charcoal acquired during her numerous hours in the art studio. Despite the charcoal, I found her outfit irresistible.
If you are like this Fashionista and you’re willing to get a little wild with your wardrobe, it won’t be difficult to find animal print. It’s all over stores. If you’re not quite ready to make a commitment to leopard with a shirt or pants, try a pair of animal printed sunglasses. Topshop has a classy, affordable pair of Leopard Sunglasses .
One of my favorite ways to incorporate some wildlife into your attire this summer is with Maaji Swimwear. Their swimsuits are flattering on almost every body type and their funky and bright prints incorporate zebras and other fun prints. Luckily, you don’t have to blindly order the suits online. Right here in St. Augustine, GOLDFINCH Boutique carries a wide selection of Maaji suits and are constantly re-ordering new sizes and styles.
