My love for leopard print is long-running – from leopard sheets in high school, to leopard sweaters at my previous job at a wealth management firm, in my opinion leopard print is timeless!  It is also an easy way to infuse some life into an otherwise plain outfit.

My wardrobe is a lot of neutral colors, because it is easy to mix and match – blacks, grays, whites, blush, denim.  Adding a pair of leopard shoes, or even some leopard print sunglasses adds that glam that makes me feel a bit more like me!
