Leopard Love

Happy Friday!  I hope those of you who live in the states are enjoying a wonderful holiday weekend :).  It's Ashley of Southern (California) Belle and I'm here to show you how I styled Jenna of Smitten's leopard fit and flare dress.  I love to wear leopard but I usually do it in small amounts.  One of my favorite pairs of flats are leopard print and Betsey Johnson makes some super cute leopard jewelry.  It was a nice change to wear a dominant leopard piece with added color instead of the other way around.

Dress- Swap with Jenna
Sash- Ruche
Shoes- Deb Shops
Hat- Forever 21
 
I'm gonna get a little personal here, but for the past few weeks I've been feeling down about my clothes not fitting right.  Although it's a growing baby that is making my wardrobe look funny, it's sad that it's so much harder to get dressed.  When Jenna sent me this dress I instantly felt pretty!  It hugged me in the right places and for the first time in weeks I was happy with my outfit.  So special thanks to Jenna and her amazing dress!
 
 I love how Jenna wore this dress for winter.  Seriously, can I have that coat?  Jessica of Midwest Muse did a wonderful summer remix and incorporated some great accessories.  Click on their pictures to see their full posts!

  2. I LOVE this on you. The leopard print looks so amazing with your bright pink hair!! I am so glad it put you in a good mood, changing bodies can be so frustrating to dress, I hated my post surgery body and found it super discouraging to get dressed. I think you're doing an amazing job!
    Both you gals look so gorgeous in my dress!!!
