How to Add a Pop of Leopard to Your Work Wardrobe

October 3, 2019 by Katie Haller

How to Add a Pop of Leopard to Your Work Wardrobe

Leopard print is a trend that isn’t going away any time soon.  I’ve been wearing leopard print ever since college.  It’s always been a fun way for me to liven up my wardrobe.  I don’t consider myself to be a super trending person.  I like to stick to the basics and not take too big of a fashion risk.  That’s why when I wear leopard print, I like to wear it in small doses. Instead of allowing it to take over my entire outfit, I like to add subtle pops of it into my favorite neutral outfits.

September Outfit Review- Early Fall

September Outfit Review

I think it’s safe to say that it’s officially pumpkin season!  As sad as I am to see summer end, I am looking forward to spending my first fall back in Michigan after 4 years of living away.  I love the trees changing colors and the cool air, but this September felt more like a September in Las Vegas than a September in Michigan.  It’s been in the high 80’s here in the midwest and it’s been hard for me to wear all my favorite fall clothes.  That’s okay because I’m well trained for warm falls like this.  I’ve been wearing a lot of lighter clothes and fewer layers, but still trying to incorporate fall colors into my wardrobe.

Who doesn’t love getting a card in the mail from a loved one?  Knowing that someone is thinking of you is a special feeling.  I love to send cards to my friends and family, but I also hate the high price of greeting cards.  Sometimes they cost more than the gift.  That’s why I get most of my greeting cards at Dollar Tree!  Birthdays, Graduations, Christmas, Weddings, First Communions…pretty much any occasion I can think of, I know that I will be able to find a card for it at Dollar Tree.

I love fall!  Who doesn’t love everything fall?  The foods, the smells, the FASHION!  I love it all!  What I really love about fall clothes is that you can start to layer again!  My outfit always feels like something is missing if I’m not layering with anything.  Summer is too hot for layers and winter is too cold for just one light layer.  That’s why I love the transitional seasons of spring and fall so much.  One thing in my closet that I can’t ever have enough of are cardigans.  I love them!  I wear them almost every day, so they are always a well-made purchase.  That’s why today I want to share some of my favorite cardigans this fall and where I like to shop for them.

I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a litt I love a black dress, but on its own it’s a little boring! Here’s my outfit formal for keeping my summer outfits from falling short! 👇

1️⃣ Create shape and balance! I did this by adding a belt just above my natural waist. 
2️⃣ Add Jewelry. Do not skip this step! No outfit is complete without at least 2 pieces of jewelry. 
3️⃣ Define the style of the outfit with shoes! The style of shoes you pick will define your outfit. Example Sneakers=casual, Heels=dressy, in this case I went with an elevated casual sandal. It’s a step up from casual, but not too dressy. Elevated casual is my personal favorite style because it can go either way. 😉
4️⃣ Complete the look with some accessories! A cute hand bag or sunglasses 😎 

Follow this summer outfit formula to keep all your outfits looking cute and stylish this summer!

I’ve always found thrifting a great way to keep wardrobe fresh without spending a lot of money, but over the last 5 years or so my thrifting strategy has changed from getting the most for my money to intentionally looking for brands and styles that are usually out of my price range at retail prices and finding them for less buying them second hand!
