{Outfit Inspiration} Hot Pink & Leopard

Thank you so much for your comments on our new Dining Room colors! I know they are bold, and certainly not everyone’s cup-of-tea, but they make us happy. And isn’t that what’s most important when designing your home…creating a space that reflects you, and makes you feel comfortable and happy? As cliche as it sounds, I want our home to be a haven for us.

Today’s {Outfit Inspiration} takes a break from pattern mixing, but is no less bold. Home and closet…I just can’t help myself! I’m drawn to vibrant colors and patterns!

Hi Sugarplum | {Outfit Inspiration} Hot Pink & Leopard

I have a small waist, but fuller hips and bootay, so virtually all my skirts and dresses are an A-line silhouette. The rare exception is when I find a pencil skirt with enough stretch to fit curves, and is thick enough to not pull and pucker. (These are my favorites.)

Someone get that girl some self-tanner! And a comb.

The pink top is so vibrant, the skirt actually becomes a neutral in this outfit. That’s one of my favorite things about leopard…it goes with virtually every color. (See my take with with kelly green here.)

I piled on a few necklaces to get a chunkier look. The leather wrap bracelet is from my sweet friend, Courtney.

  3. Very cute! Love the hot pink. Not only have I let my legs out, I ventured into a bathing suit (Ack!) yesterday for my son's preschool pool party. I'm pretty sure I blinded a few people.

    You always look adorable. I love this combo. I am a long time lover of leopard and pink!

    My legs have not been let out for summer for fear of blinding someone. Well, they may never see me because I am so pale I may be translucent. I definitely need some self tanner. And I better move on it because our neighborhood pool opens this weekend!

  17. I love a touch of leopard. I even want some running shoes from Under Armor that have a bit of leopard. 🙂

    Hi Cassie! You are right, if your room feels like a haven for you and your family then that is all that matters. Personally, I feel like I'm on crack(as a matter of speaking of course)in a room filled with bold or bright colors but I am the self proclaimed queen of the neutral palette. However,that is the type of space that makes our family content. I'd be willing to bet that you would feel the energy drain from your body if you lived in my space. LOL I still appreciate your bold choices and I love your blog!!
