Leopard & Lace

Have you ever had a fashion orgasm? I’d heard rumors about them, but I never experienced one for myself until yesterday while I was clicking through photos of Milan Fashion Week at work.

Dolce & Gabbana’s runway collection featured
the most beautiful dress I’ve seen in a long time, and it had my heart. It features two of the biggest trends we’ve already mentioned for this Fall: lace and animal print. The fierce leopard print and white, girly, embroidered eyelet in the dress offset each other perfectly.

Unless I someday when I become a millionaire-esse I can’t afford the dress, but in the meantime, I can recreate the contrasting look in my own, inexpensive way for Fall!

Mixing a lace shirt, skinny jeans and an embroidered white headband, splashing through puddles in leopard rain boots and lace printed jeans, or cinching a lace dress with an animalistic skinny belt to recreate the vixen meets girl-next-door vibe of the look without the high Dolce price tag.

Clockwise: Lace Top $29.99; Belt $44; Scarf $35; Lace Dress $42; Cardigan $39.50; Bootie $39.90
