It’s true, I do.
Leopard is probably my favorite neutral other than black. And
it’s a neutral that looks good with black:
I borrowed the idea for this outfit from this look of Cambria’s at Jupe. She wore forest green tights, but for some reason I don’t have forest green tights (I know, it’s weird to me too) so I went with olive. Which ended up working in my favor because the spots on my leopard scarf are olive-hued as well.
In addition to my olive tights (Hue via Macys) and olive
leopard scarf (???), I wore a black dress (vintage via Goodwill) layered over a
black turtleneck (Gap) and black ankle boots (Nine West ‘Darsy’). I also added a studded belt because I was
worried the scarf-as-bow was too twee. I
like to think the belt reaffirms my status as a Billy Bad Bottom.
Happy Tuesday, Everyone!

OK, that's me done, then. I've tipped over to thinking I need a black/white leopard print something, ideally a scarf. I blame you for looking so fantastic. :)
ReplyDeleteNow you are doing that invisible layering thing again, where it looks like the pieces are all one. I didn't realise you had a turtle neck underneath the dress till you pointed it out! I love a bit of leopard print. I think green could also be considered a neutral, it goes with everything too.
ReplyDeleteOf course the studded belt rocks up the feminine bow. Billy Bad Bottom? Hahaha! If you say so, Gracey! xxxx
Tricked me! I thought it was a long-sleeved dress. Very cute outfit! I especially love the belt.
ReplyDeleteOh you layering shaman! So very good. As always though, your smile makes the outfit :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat combination! Don't you just love Hue tights? So comfy and the talls really are tall. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove the legs with this classic black, Gracey! Leopard goes with every last thing, it's true.
ReplyDeleteLeopard is the BOMB!
ReplyDeleteIt's the perfect neutral. I must have more of it! :)
you look classy and sassy gracey! i want a studded belt, so i can copy your billy bad bottom look, ha-ha-ha. ;)
ReplyDeleteAdorable as usual. The olive tights and the leopard scarf tied as a bow are perfect compliments to your black dress.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a cute look and I love the unexpected way you tied the scarf
ReplyDeleteI don't really know if there is a color out there that leopard doesn't go with HAHA

So that's what lurks behind the smile, I suspected as much! Wonderful outfit, Gracey - I love how the scarf, belt, and tights speak to each other, and of course, the turtleneck magic. You are another who wears leopard print so well!
ReplyDeleteIs that a belt or is it part of the dress? Either way I totally love it. I'm also loving the way you tied your scarf. Does it have to be super long to tie it that way? I would love to see how you did that! xo
ReplyDeleteWhoops, duh. You said it was a belt. Just kidding :P
DeleteScarf,tights and belt make thi black dress look special!I love your glasses.They seem new and sort of... leopard!
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely the neutral that looks really good with black! I really love your outfit! It's simple yet very high fashion.
ReplyDeleteI love that dress with that awesome studded belt. So cute.
ReplyDeletegreat look! xo

Love the addition of the studded belt!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely be trying this look at home. I have a very similar Loft dress snagged at GoodWill that just needs a cool skinny belt and a scarf tied like yours :)
ReplyDeleteLovely dress! You look beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi there Gracey! I don't think I've commented before, but I've always enjoyed checking in on your blog. Piping up now because I suspect you got that scarf at Target... I believe it's the exact same one I'm looking at sticking out of my purse! So versatile and one of my favorites :)
ReplyDeleteLove the spike belt ;) I've never worn leopard as a neutral but I definitely should!
