Black, Red, Leopard, Stripes, & Pearls

I really love leopard print and stripes together. The only leopard print item I own is a skinny belt (shameful). I shall have to put this blouse or a similar one on my “Closet Necessities” list (yes, this list is real). Perhaps the striped jacket, too.

It’s better (in my own opinion) to have basic items that are of greater quality, than a random stash of less expensive ones. One of the reasons I’m so fond of all the above pictured items is their ability to be mixed and matched. The basic black tights, skirt, and purse go with anything and everything. The red flats and belt are a festive addition to any neutral base and you can’t really go wrong with stripes, leopard, pearls, or a pair of black shades. You can dress each piece up or down, too, which is an excellent bonus.
