Inspiration: There are two ways to wear animal prints . . . the Maximalist way, which is to mix and match various animal prints at once. And the Minimalist way, which is to add once piece to accent one's look. Like the way she's wearing her leopard bag. I own one of practically everything in leopard print . . . a blouse, a coat, a hat, two belts, a pair of boots, flats, a bag . . . But I promise you Mom, I only wear one piece at a time.
Cute smile.

Beautiful smile! And I prefer the second option, definitely! Not much into animal print. In fact, not much into print, period.

I prefer the minimalist way too. I think I will runaway from my own reflection when I will do it the maximalist way. I can't pull that of. It's nice being on your blog again in a long time. Hope everything is well! x

Love this shot - the bag , the jacket but mostly the joy in her smile - a beautiful moment captured.

I would agree with most of the comments here, the smile made all the difference. And yeah, keep the prints to a minimum... just right enough for the leopard to pop right out of it.
