Animal prints have been prevalent in design and fashion for awhile now, and zebra is probably my favorite. I think it works almost like a neutral. But for this outfit, I wanted the skirt to take center stage, so I paired it with an even more neutral chambray camp shirt.

I love it with a touch of orange too, but I tried to keep this outfit more subdued. I tend to gravitate to the unexpected (much to my traditional mom’s chagrin). Yes, I said chagrin. I also say pardon, willy-nilly and crappola.
The good thing about photographing your outfits is being able to view them objectively. After seeing these, I’m not a fan of the orthopedic wedges with this outfit.
I have a long torso, so I usually wear my skirts higher than my natural waist…it makes it appear slimmer and my legs longer. *snort*

I also realized when I try a no-teeth-smile, I just look pissy. So back to big, toothy grins in the future. And how badly do you want that zebra as a pet?! Except we learned the hard way they can be mean.
Do you have much zebra in your home or wardrobe (or tied up in your backyard)? You can see this skirt in another outfit here.
I love it hot mamma!
Cassie-
Great inspiration, you look great! I love that skirt!

I love your outfit and the bedroom! I have zebra flip flops, a cheap end of season buy (for like $3) last year. Do they count? I also have a zebra rug in my office that I paired with teal curtains.
You are adorable! Didn't know forever 21 made skirts longer than 8 inches…cannot wait to get my new zebra skirt (and zebra rug in dining room:) Thanks Cassie!

Thanks for the inspiration. I need to step out of the box when it comes to fashion and stop shopping at 'Forever 39' 🙂 http://pinterest.com/pin/49821139598382829/
Have you done a post with suggestions on where you like to shop for certain items? Would love your recommendations!
You look amazing, love that combo! I've got zebra in both my living and dining room – it makes me smile a big toothy smile 😀 And for the record, you totally don't look pissy.
Love the post! And yes, I want the Zebra! Is that a new outfit, never seen you wear any of it before.
I love zebra print and have the print in my house not to much just a hint. Love your post
Fun post, love your outfit and I actually think your orthopedic (: shoes look cute! And seriously to me zebra print is like a neutral to me a little in a room is awesome!!
Love that skirt!! Zebra is the only animal print I can dig on… the rest are too much for me. Love it.
Really adorable! I love it! I also love the tip about high-waisted skirts. I think it just makes a whole outfit more pulled together. Great post!
Super cute! You're really gonna leave us hanging on how you learned zebras are mean??? 🙂
You look too cute for words! I like the shoes with that outfit; not ortho at all. ( I also happen to know you say ear bob on occasion.) Thought you'd post the pic of the aggressive zebra,too. Those skirts look so cute on you – helps to have a teeny little waist like you have! This is a VERY cute look on you 🙂
LOVE this outfit!!! You look beautiful!
always the pretty one. i want you to smile into the camera next time 🙂 do that for me okay?
You know, after I looked at the skirt, the first thing that caught my eye were the wedges — I think they are so cute! My wardrobe is seriously lacking zebra. And so is my apartment. Must fix that. 😉
I say "shazbot", "holy moley" and "gumption" — 🙂 And I love chambray. It is a go to fabric in my closet….
Love your skirt! It's too cute! 🙂
Great inspiration pics!
I take it back! You're right, there is your smiley face. How did I miss it??! Gorgeous girl.
You look great in everything – wish you could be my personal stylist. When you don't have to "get dressed for work" you lose the ability to get dressed at all – or maybe that's just me. I need to branch out more often – I have no problem doing that in my home but in my wardrobe I'm pretty boring.
Great outfit! I love zebra.
Honestly, I think yours are one of the only posts that I honestly read just as much for the pretty pics as for the laughs I get from your commentary. Totally dying about the zebra comments and "chagrin". Totally use *every single one* of those words, too (c:
haha! very cute outfit – great post, combo of cute and funny :o)
How are you so cute. . you make me look super frumpy. And love the sexy, tossled hair!!!
