How to Wear DIY: The classy leopard skirt

  • 1.16.2013

Well, I'm excited about this one--got to wear the leopard print skirt I made last fall when I whipped up these three no-pattern skirts; I love the simple style but wanted to make it look not-at-all sloppy! So to a party the other weekend I wore the leopard skirt with a few other pretty pieces. Including a coat, because OMG it has been cold here.

Top: Marshall's. Necklace: Kohl's, Belt: Charlotte Russe. Watch, shoes: Ross.
Jacket: Forever 21. Skirt: DIY, super simple!

Well, I like it, but the husband was a little confused. Animal print can be hard to pull off, I guess! ;) Oh, and, I just realized... tortoiseshell watch with leopard print skirt?? Oops! Is that a big no-no???

Do you think I made it work? Any tips for wearing leopard and not looking like Snookie's mom? ;)

    No, it looks great!
    But husbands don't understand fashion... Yesterday I got two sequin tops from J.Crew and the hubby just looked at me and sighed. He would make a really boring girl... :)
    You look great! I almost bought the same shirt the other day but they were out of smalls... Too bad cause it looks awesome on you!

    Lovely assemble. My husband would actually think, if I ever something like that, that I looked nice. He trust my judgement in dressing up.

    Leopardprint is awesome!
    Men don't get it though. Too bad for them :-)

    I love this look! It's refreshing to see leopard in this flowy a-line silhouette (for some reason when I think of leopard, I immediately picture super tight fitting clothes) - I totally love this whole outfit and would wear it in a second! :)

    As a general rule, I like to think that when your man is confused--especially when he incredulously says "you're wearing THAT??"--is in fact when you know you're on to something!

    You look lovely! What I often do when I want to wear leopard print, or tight little mini-skirt, or anything else that could be borderline Snookie's mom territory is to pair it with something unexpectedly comfy-casual, like a big loose boyfriend sweater or flannel. I'm also big on wearing multiple patterned garments together in one outfit, which can make it more of a "look-how-hip-I-am-wearing-patterns-on-patterns!" kind of thing as opposed to a "look-at-me-I'm-sexy/trashy!" kind of thing.

    Best,
