never say never

I think I shocked a few people (friends and family) with this top; let's just say this is the most leopard print I've ever worn. Lately I've just grown fonder of the beloved pattern, and I figured for 17 bucks, it can't hurt to try it out ;) I'm really starting to see why it's such a wardrobe staple, considering it can be a great neutral to remix and at the same time it can easily be a striking focal point.
It's been 2 weeks since I got it, and I've worn it 5 times already...I suppose I'm a convert now.

Oh, and here's a close up shot of the pretty, pretty earrings I snatched at a thrift store for only 50 cents!!!:) I know; I was quite excited myself! And the best part was that the 50 cents actually went towards a child that the thrift store sponsors in Central America; it's a win-win-win.

p.s.- first time wearing jeans in 3 months...I guess I'm kind of looking forward to fall, what with all the layering options and all (but really this is just my 'glass-half-full' response to what was the coldest day of this entire summer)
