2 Ways to Tame a Leopard Dress, part 2: Purrrrfect for the Office

How do you take this va-va-voom leopard print ruched dress from Kiyonna and tame it for the office?? It was actually easier than I thought! I added a wide black belt, a black blazer, black pumps, a refined updo, and gold jewelry.

The solid dark colors almost magically tone down the MEOW to more of a proper PURR, suitable for the office. lol.

With this look, I get to extend the life of the dress and pull it out twice as much! I actually don’t know if I like the professional look or the glam look better… lol. Anyway, this post has inspired me to pull out some more of my too-hot-for-daytime dresses to give them a new life in the sun!

    I love this so much. I wish that we still had a few more weeks of winter so I could justify buying a leopard dress! You look amazing!

    Why restrict its wear to Winter only? I suggest you check-out the current fashion offerings on-line as Saks, Nordstroms, Lord & Taylor are all showing animal prints in their Spring/Summer collections.
    The fabric is really trans-seasonal, so imagine this with your hair loose and casual hair, sporting big sunglasses, a leather cuff, a great shopper's tote in caramel, a gauzy black wrap and tanned bare legs ending in chocolate platform wedge sandals that showcase your great pedicure – you could rock the warmer weekends too!
