Toning Down Cheetah Print
Hello all! Happy Friday! I am so excited for this weekend as I have lots of fun plans and lots of exciting blog posts to share with y’all! As you know, I love patterns and cheetah print is one of my favorite patterns. When this cardigan first shopped up at J.Crew, I couldn’t have been more excited about it and knew I needed it in my closet.
I had been anxious to incorporated it into my wardrobe and start wearing it right away. But, as with any other statement piece, it is very easy to overdo it and it has taken some time to find the right pieces to pair it with.
I have found that with a loud piece like a cheetah print cardigan, the best thing is to pair is with simpler basics to spice them up. This tank top for example is very nice, but so boring! Wearing it with jeans just leads to a lot of blue and nothing really exciting. But, it is the perfect foil to my cheetah print cardigan.
With this, I have also found that I prefer more delicate jewelry since the print is so loud. I love layering small necklaces so they are more interesting, but still maintain that delicate quality. The finishing touch for this look was these fabulous earrings I just picked up at J.Crew. Although big, they are so light, I almost forgot I was wearing them! Until next time, XO.
