The Other Animal Print

I do. I try really hard to hang in there when someone tells me they simply can’t wear ANY kind of animal print.

And, at this point, I’ve heard every excuse in the book. You know, like that animal prints don’t work with their particular body shape …

or that they just don’t know how to pair animal prints with the other items in their closet …

I … Just … Can’t … Wrap … My … Head … Around … This.

But, then I thought that perhaps I should try to be a smidge more sympathetic and ask a few of my animal print challenged friends just what exactly it is that causes them such angst.

Interestingly enough, it turns out that most of them stress out over cheetah and leopard animal prints (with those beautiful combinations of browns and coppers and golds ~ that I think are so FAB) and will therefore lump all animal prints into the same “I can’t wear that” category.

So ~ this blog post is for all my sweet friends (you know who you are) who somehow think you just can’t pull it off … because, I KNOW you can wear black and white, right? Black and White is stress free!
