How to Wear Leopard Print and Bright Red

Did you read the title of this post and click on it hoping to see me dressed as a call-girl?  


Leopard print and the color red are both bold statements.  
You have to be a little careful in how you mix the two.  
Here are a few tips to keep from looking like a lady of the night:

Rule 1: Be sure to smile.

I don't think working girls smile very much.  Well...that is what I've heard.

Rule 2: Let one "dominate" more than the other.  

You don't want to have them competing.  

I let the red take center stage here and threw in the leopard print as an accent.

Rule 3: Anchor the style with either a dark or a neutral piece. 

Here I chose a navy blue pleated skirt (the pleats add a prim + proper feel).

Blouse - Jason Wu for Target (Purchase HERE)

Skirt - WallpapHer via Nordstrom

Shoes - Cole Haan (Similar HERE)

Bag - Fossil

Watch - Michael Kors (Purchase HERE)

Earrings - Anthropologie

Belt - Nordstrom

Rule 4: Stay away from form-fitting pieces when wearing this combination.  

Unless you are in Vegas.  In which case you should not wear a pleated skirt.  

Would you wear leopard print and a bold red together?  How about to the office?
