  Nice! I actually like the double animal print - it bookends, but since the spots are different, i don't feel as if it's matchy matchy. I personally like the leather jacket best with the outfit... I do love me a structured jacket!

  I like all of your toppers and shoes, so it's really hard to pick one. But my #1 choice would be the leather jacket, followed by the sweater. The pointy shoes are an excellent back up; I do like the leopard shoes with the top, it's cool pattern mixing.

• goldenpig replied 12 years ago

  OK, I'll change it up and wear the jacket this afternoon! :)

  I like #2 and #3 best.

• lyn67 replied 12 years ago

  Nr 3 is the best to my eye! Edgy and sophisticated! welldone!
  (too bad, now I want a red strechy pencil for myself, too:-)))

• Queen Mum replied 12 years ago

  I like #3 best also

  I really like it with the leather jacket! I know I always feel like leopard with leather is a bit much, but it is a cool look. You look beautiful in that blouse... I don't remember recommending it to you but it is perfect. I would probably pop an obi belt on to make that skirt look like it starts higher up, kind of like your tweed and leather skirt. I have to stay out of the double pattern discussion. I can't decide if I like it or if it's too much. Either way you look very pretty today :)

  I like the it with leather jacket and I like it with either shoe, leopard or black, they both look good to me!

• Mo replied 12 years ago

  I also like the leather jacket best. I also wouldn't mind seeing a brown topper instead of black. ;)

• Mochi replied 12 years ago

  3 best. Great look and not overdone at all with the animal prints (because the shoes provide such a small dosage?). Anyway, great look!

• nancylee replied 12 years ago

  I love #2 and #3 best. You look fabulous in that animal print.

• Sylvie replied 12 years ago

  Leather jacket. It adds just the right amount of edge.

• Reneeb replied 12 years ago

  I like #2 and #3 best but the black ponity toe do elongate your leg line. I wear my leopard blouse with my Halogen leopard pumps.

• MsMary replied 12 years ago

  Oy! I swoon!! Love times a million!!

  Another vote for the leather jacket!

• Angie replied 12 years ago

  I LOVE #1, #2 and #3.

  KILLER

  I like #1 #2 and #3 best. Lovely outfit choices. Ladylike and fun. Also, I love the hairstyle you're sporting. Works admirably with the outfit!

• MINI replied 12 years ago

  #2 is the best in my opinion :) Why don't you try a black simple, plain pencil skirt with your beautiful silky animal print top cuz animal print is very eye catching already, so strong color bottom like red, it might be a just too much. I think if you try your blouse with black skirt (a simple statement jewerly would make it even better), it'd be super sexy, killer outfit on you for sure.

  YUMMY! I love it best without any jacket and with the leather jacket. GREAT outfit!

• goldenpig replied 12 years ago

  Thanks all for the boost! I tried several versions (1, 2, & 3) throughout the day and got lots of compliments about my outfit and my shoes.

  A few funny observations from today:
  1) My feet were getting tired after standing up in the heels for 3 hours in the afternoon but I stuck it out because I liked hearing people rave about the shoes, LOL! I even wore the leopard heels to the post office (to mail my YLF secret santa gift ;-)) and people waiting in line behind me were complimenting on my shoes. Whenever I wear these heels or the Chie Mihara sandals everyone takes notice!

  2) A drug rep complimented me on my outfit and wanted to know where I bought the shoes and top. This is high praise because usually the drug reps are very sharply dressed compared to us doctors--their job is to look attractive and sell things. They're usually in nice suits and fashion-y ensembles. When I was in residency training you could always tell who the drug reps were because they were so dressy & sharp looking compared to us scrub and fleece wearing slobs. If we ever dressed remotely like that we would get teased about looking like a drug rep or get asked if we were going on a fellowship interview. So today the drug rep and I were chatting about clothes and she was asking me where I liked to shop, etc. I thought it was so funny that I am now dressing so differently that I am now in the "drug rep leagues", haha.

  3) I came home and kicked off my shoes (aaahhh!). But I waited to change until DH got home. I am starting him on the animal print desensitization program since faux fur is going to have to wait (too advanced for him, if you remember our recent fashion quarrel). I wanted to show him the animal print top and see what his reaction would be. But, only one piece of animal print at a time so I don't overload his senses! When he came home, he said, "Hi Bam Bam!" I think he meant I looked like Pebbles from the Flintstones. He kept teasing me with caveman jokes and asking whether I was going to drag him off by the hair. But, at least when I asked, he said he didn't hate the top. So, a minor success! I'll keep working on his fashion tolerance...but at a gradual pace. :)

  Love your story about your DH! Your outfits are great - I like the pattern mixing and LOVE the leather jacket. But - I'm wondering about the fit of the skirt. Does it feel like it fits you OK? It looks too big to me in the pics. Is it?????

• Ginkgo replied 12 years ago

  Hmmmm....sounds like he wanted you to drag him off by the hair! Could be a new successful strategy for animal pattern desensitization.

  I like Modgrl's obi belt suggestion.

• Scarlet replied 12 years ago

  I always thought Pebbles was so cute :) That is also very funny about trading tips with the drug rep. You look great!

• goldenpig replied 12 years ago

  Marley, it's true the skirt might be a tad on the big side (I'm usually a size 4 or a 6 and this one is a 6) but because I'm an apple, the 4 clung to my belly and made me look fat or pregnant and at least the 6 skims my belly and hangs straight. And I tried the petite version (I posted pics earlier and the reaction was split on whether the regular or petite looked better) but the petite was shorter than I was comfortable with for work so I went with the longer midi-like length. I feel much more comfortable in it with the extra room and length. I just ordered the yellow raisin in a size 6 as well, and with the posts on the Halogen skirt thread saying that it's running smaller now, maybe that one will fit a little better.

• rae replied 12 years ago

  Haha, those hubby desensitization programs have been sweeping the nation lately! Glad he doesn't hate it - I'm sure he'll come around. :)

• velvetychocolate replied 12 years ago

  I love the updates - so fun! And the fact that a drug rep was asking where you like to shop is quite something, don't you think? I know they dress very well, and I'm not surprised that you're officially in the drug rep leagues.

  So cute about your husband's comment too :)

  Animal Print Desensitization Program is it?
