All one needs to do is miss a night or two of sleep. So there you have it. I support your idea 100 percent and would SO run the Colorado Relay with you next year in an animal print.

I only wish I could run as fast as an animal, and sadly animal prints have not yet made it to the athlete wardrobe. So I cannot channel my inner jaguar with my attire on the course. <br /><br />Le sigh. Yet another awesome endurance athlete product idea brought to you by sleep deprivation and running insanity.

Biatch.<br /><br />Anyhoo, just one caveat on the red lipstick. It doesn't work on every skintone. When it does, it's very sexy. When it doesn't, it's extremely aging. So be careful and test, test, test those reds!<br /><br /><b>La Diva</b>: I did! That's what, twice now for her? I thought it was a beautiful blouse and she paired it perfectly with black skinny jeans, heels, and retro jewelry.

I agree that it would be wise for me to start small and get comfortable before I start buying either of those shoes and boots you both are hoping to receive from Santa.

Yew. However, not all head-to-toe animal print goes horribly wrong. A couple years ago, a hugely pregnant Gwen Stefani outfitted herself for an event in a silk ombre-dyed leopard print empire waist gown. It shouldn't have worked. But it did.moihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07824043795171732429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4410706398872836052.post-73221696867700200622009-09-10T08:25:27.853-06:002009-09-10T08:25:27.853-06:00Darlings if I may jump in? Boxer, I think truly t...Darlings if I may jump in? Boxer, I think truly that while some people say "anything goes" less truer words could not have been spoken. I have had many vintage clothes in my closet over the years and while some have been able to make a come-back, others have had to go to goodwill. <br /><br />Take animal prints, they have been in and out of style each decade. With the animal print I think it really depends on the SIZE of the print and cut of the article of clothing. If the said piece is cut in a style that fits what's in now and it looks great on you, go for it. As long as it suits your body shape and is just one piece. If you wear it as a two piece pantsuit (even if it was originally purchased that way), you will look like garanimals gone wrong or like a reject from the Golden Girls.<br /><br />However, La Diva used to have those bright pink and black leopard print Fiorucci skinny jeans....Yep, I COULD wear them now. However, I would look like a beastly apple on toothpicks with a huge muffin top, so they are best left for my 17 year old niece. <br /><br />Also, beware of the size of the print! I've noticed giraffe prints with spots so huge that it could not possibly flatter anyone! Avoid the large horizontal zebra print as well! And La Diva is also not a fan of the "patchwork" animal prints: combos of zebra and cheetah prints on one piece of fabric! blech!<br /><br />Don't wear too much at once and be all matchy matchy, make the one piece the focal point. Your black jeans and tee shirt would look dynamite wiht and a cool animal print scarf and some red lipstick. Or some sassy little animal print pumps instead of your boots. (again, with red lipstick!) It would be a fantastic update to your current "look!" (red looks great with trad. cheetah prints!)<br /><br />I agree with Pirate: start small. (shoes or a scarf are great!)LaDivaCucinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06000430029590301972noreply@blogger.com
