Fall for Leopard Print
Dress || Wedges || Handbag || Earrings
With Labor Day Weekend in our rearview mirror, and the summer winding down, it’s so tempting to think about the fall season. I actually caved and bought some pumpkin spice almonds over the weekend. I know, it’s a big move for me! Even if I was ready to fully embrace autumn, the temperatures are still in the 90s here in Florida. I don’t plan on investing in any cozy sweaters or corduroys just yet! One of my seasonal “cheats” comes down to finding summery pieces in perfect fall patterns. On top of that list? Why it’s leopard print, of course!
In the words of the iconic Jennifer Lyons, “As far as I’m concerned, leopard is a neutral.” While it’s something that can absolutely be worn all summer long, I think it fits perfectly into a fall wardrobe. The bold patterns, with rich tans and blacks are right at home with the autumn colors. Some of the cutest leopard pieces are made for cooler weather, so what is a Florida girl to do?
A great leopard print alternative is this budget friendly sundress from H&M. At a whopping $30, I know I’m going to get my money’s worth in just a few wears. The print is bright and vivid and makes such a big statement. The boho style is surprisingly flattering and comfortable enough to wear all day. Can you say perfect for a put together, work-from-home look?
While I love this dress for a “fall” in Florida, it can easily be worn on a scorching day. My go-to black Castañer espadrilles and handbag from The Daily Edited allows it to transition from season to season. As the weather finally gets cooler, I love the idea of swapping footwear for either black Sarah Flint ballet flats or leather heeled booties. Be honest, would this black felt hat be too much?
My transition to autumn may not be the quickest, but it’s something to look forward to. Yes, even in Florida! When the temperature really drops, I’ll be trying to find a happy medium between the seasons. Expect to see more warm fall colors, with just a touch of the Sunshine State. Until then, you can fall for this beautiful leopard print dress!
Love from Florida,
Katie
