Thankfully, we no longer have snow on the ground! These photos were taken a few weeks ago. I still haven't gotten back into the swing of regular photo taking since my trial ended. And, unfortunately, it still is not warm enough for me to fully ditch the tights. So, until the mornings are starting off in the high 40s (rather than just above the 30s) my pasty, sun-deprived legs will continue to stay warm in tights!

I love the striking combination of red and leopard. While others may feel differently, unless its done right, I feel like the combination can be a little too much for the office (leopard alone is a little too risque for truly conservative offices). As I've mentioned on here before, leopard isn't really an every day thing for me. And, red can make a statement all on its own. I have to be in the mood for both, but I really liked the idea of layering them. The black suit and full coverage help keep this bold combination from feeling to overpowering, and well, racy for court!

Thanks for reading!

  1. You do professional and stylish so well. Seriously. I'm not a big leopard person, but in small doses I think it's great. I love the way it is just peeking out a little under the red. Such a great look!

  2. I like the little sneak peeks of leopard at the collar and cuffs! Layering it under something else is a great way to make it work for your environment.
