I’m ringing in the New Year with a dress in one of my favorite patterns: Animal print. There are so many types of prints (zebra, leopard, giraffe, snake, tiger, even cow!) so the look never gets repetitive. Add color to the mix, and you can see why I’m drawn to the infinite varieties of animal prints. Plus, I like animals, and you know what they say about imitation being the sincerest form of flattery. I’m copying their pretty designs!
Dress: Swapped
Pleather boots: MIA
Necklace: The Vegan Woman
Vinyl purse: Shop in Pittsburgh
The best part of this dress might be that it was free. I got it at a clothing exchange from a fellow animal-print lover who tired of this particular piece.
It doesn’t have a defined waist, which makes it really comfortable, and the black vertical detailing at the front keeps this looking long and lean. I love the retro 70s collar!
I wore this with boots today but I’ll try it with other shoes and maybe a different pop of color, like an orange or green purse or a big cuff.
Happy New Year!

Lucky for you that you have such stylish friends who bring beautiful clothes to the clothing exchange! The style and zebra pattern look great and perfect for adding pops of colour!
I notice you’ve changed your Gravatar–very pretty!!
Have a healthy, happy and fashionable New Year ♥
I am lucky! My friends have great taste and often buy more expensive clothing than I do!
Yes, I always mean to update things like avatars but often forget. New Year, new avatar. Have a wonderful 2014!

Happy New Year! I am lucky that my friends have good taste and are fickle 😛
I love all animal prints but Zebra is definitely my favorite and this looks great on you.
Thanks for visiting! I like zebra a lot too. I don’t see it as often as I see leopard, so maybe that’s why it’s special 🙂
