Style of the day: animal print and black

Leopard, tiger, zebra! Well, they are not always at the top of my personal list, but in this period I really need something strong and bold. While some find it too intimidating or risky to rock leopard spots or zebra stripes, styling these prints into an elegant outfit is actually easier than you might think. Nevertheless I decided for something more clean and simple, like this elegant blouse (please notice the ruffles and buttons with pearls) and a very wearable, pleated, black skirt. The first golden rule is to harmonise your look using non-patterned pieces that allow the animal print garment to play the protagonist. I am still in love with this pair of black, high heel SJP shoes and the small Chloé bag was the right choice.

My style is as follows: skirt Max Mara, blouse Sister Jane, shoes SJP(Sarah Jessica Parker), bag Chloé (via Netaporter), rings: Roberto Cavalli, YSL, Asos. Bobby pins H&M.
