WIW 7/27 Animalistic: ink, brown, grey and black

Wanted to try a version of Angie's formula with ink, brown, grey and black in one outfit. Pulled out the ink blue jacket and the cognac leather skirt. I've paired them together before. Then added the leopard Okalas, because they already had the black and brown combo. These haven't been getting much wear yet, so I wanted to put them into rotation. I tried the outfit with a simple black shell but it didn't look like me--not enough pattern. So I used this leopard silk shell. It was in my purge section, because I've been less into large doses of leopard lately (I purged a Target ponte leopard skirt and gave it to my sister). But this was the only thing that seemed to work, plus it fulfilled the matchy matchy requirement. It's a little more ALGO than I'd like, especially with the pussy bow combined with ruffles in the jacket. I feel like this outfit gives off kind of a '70's secretary vibe with the animal print, brown, pussy bow etc.--not sure if that's a good thing. Finally, added the leopard bracelet for more matchy matchy and the grey croc tote for the grey. Is four animal prints in one outfit too much? Let me know if it's TMGO! I keep saying I want to streamline, but then end up with all these ALGO outfits because of my love of prints and matchy matchy!

Thanks for looking and commenting!

    LOL, I was a secretary in the (late!) 70s and I don't remember looking nearly that good!

    I am loving the go-big-or-go-home four-animal-prints-in-one-outfit thing!!  This totally works for me!

    Such rich outfit, love all the textures and colors!  Definitely a little ALGO, but very you!

    A gorgeous office friendly outfit based on the formula.  And a pretty texture look on the grey bag.
