Leopard Love

I LOVE leopard print, and I'm I am not afraid to say it or wear it!
This spotty print can bring a touch of glamour to any outfit although I think one must be picky about their print. Colour and size of the spot is very important, if it looks too orange or the spot is too big then Id leave it behind.

 Below are some of my leopard print favourites. My leopard collection stretches to more coats, jumpers socks, bags, underwear..... you get the idea.
Trousers: Zara, Shoes: Zara, Dress: Topshop, Jacket: Unknown.
The leopard print, teddy bear-esque jacket I'm wearing in this shot was bought by my (fabulous) mother many years ago. She picked it up on sale in an "older ladies" boutique, in the tiny country town Im from in Ireland.

Jacket: Unknown, Sweatshirt: Uniqlo, Skirt: Topshop Unique, Boots: Office, Bag: Zara, Necklace: River Island
At the time I thought it was hideous (I was 15 and she had bought it from a granny's shop, all I wanted was Topshop!)  
My mum tried to convince me of the jackets charm but I was having none of it and I banished it to the back of my wardrobe. 
Roll on a year or two and I was lucky enough to rediscover this animal beauty and thank my mum for having such great taste.
To this day its my go to jacket when I want to wear something fun, but not too crazy.
I teamed the jacket with my trusty grey sweatshirt and button up silk skirt (hard to see in the pictures). I recently purchased these buckled boots and have been living in them since. The necklace adds a bit of needed bling and my orange clutch adds a pop of colour.



P.S. Thanks Orla for the snaps ;)
