When it comes to fashion outfit repeater is one way to describe me. Can anyone else relate? I purchase clothing with the intention of keeping them for the long run. Right away I knew this leopard print midi skirt (actually it’s a dress!) would be one of those buy and keep for the long run kind of pieces.

Read on to hear my 3 reasons why I LOVE this dress plus get my tips on how to get comfortable wearing leopard print.
3 REASONS WHY I LOVE THIS DRESS
It can be styled so many different ways! It’s perfect to wear as a dress or even as a skirt.
I also love the color of this dress. The black, light and dark brown shades go with just about anything making it the perfect neutral piece to layer with.
And lastly I love that this leopard print midi skirt/dress can be worn each season. I can imagine wearing it under sweaters, cardigans, and paired with boots come fall and winter. During the spring and summer I’ve worn the dress alone or layered with a light t-shirt.
Love mixing animal prints! These black and cream snakeskin heels (similar here, & here) go with just about everything including this leopard print “skirt”.
3 WAYS TO GET COMFORTABLE WEARING LEOPARD PRINT
If you’re worried you can’t pull this print off don’t be! Leopard print is a neutral that anyone can wear regardless of size or age.
If leopard print is too much for you try toning it down by adding in solid neutral colored pieces. I broke up the head to toe leopard print dress with a cream colored top.
Keep your accessories minimal. I decided to just wear a stack of gold bracelets. I chose to wear several for dramatic effect but the gold color matched my outfit nicely and didn’t compete with the leopard print.
