I normally am not into animal print. But when I saw several pieces at New York & Co. in black, white and gray, I felt pretty fuzzy inside because they reminded me of my two favorite kitties, Perseus and Prometheus. I really like that this print is a bit abstract, so I don’t feel so much like I’m trying to imitate any one particular animal. It has a bit of leopard and a bit of tiger and maybe even a bit of duck-billed platypus... Okay, forgive the bad humor: it's Monday, and it's early!!
I would like to say that I wore minimal accessories today for some profound reason, such as to let the print shine… But truthfully I was just running late and didn’t want to mix up my priorities again so soon (as I did in this post). So I opted for just these simple bracelets and for getting to work on time.

I LOVE animal prints! Big kitties: leopard and tiger, giraffe, zebra, snake! Even pony hair print! Wearing it is a declaration of my love for all animals, they are exquisite creatures for sure! We are lucky to live among them! I love that top, I may need to be a copy cat and hit up NYCO! You look hot!
I like animal print in bright neon colors, but not on me :P You always look so lovely.

I love giraffe print, especially in decor. (And I did just wear that weird cow print-ish dress, haha.) But otherwise I don't have any affinity to a particular animal print. What I do specifically look for is interestingness of the print. If the print looks too repeating, too uniformly spaced, too contrived, I'm not into it. I could wear almost any animal print on silk but I feel like crazy-colored animal print on synthetic fabric is best left to people younger than me. Yours looks great and (in my opinion) tasteful enough for work while pushing the envelope just a bit.
I own one pink t-shirt with a dark-blue zebra on it & a black t-shirt with zoo animals in neon colors (gift from Mr. K.)... That's about it! ;)
Does dog hair on my shirt count?^^
Your shirt looks great. :)
Those shoes stole my heart.
I'm not into animal print at all, I'm afraid. But it looks nice on you. :) I also frequently mix up my priorities, though for me it's generally makeup and hair that keep me from getting to work - or anywhere else - on time.
Annimal House, go for it! This top is too lovely to pass up, and they are currently having a Buy One Get One 50% Off sale on select tops!
Miss Gracie, thank you. *blush* I love bright prints too, but definitely not so much for myself. :)
alicatstrut, I loved your cow dress. It was nice to see an animal print outside of the usual leopard/zebra/snake norms. ;) And you are so right; animal print has to be done in a classy way once you reach a certain level of maturity!
Sal, lol! Yes, dog hair counts. I only say that because I am covered in cat hair 90% of the time.
BettyZade, aww! They love you, too. ;)
Becky, I totally understand! I used to go to work with no makeup (had to apply it on my morning break) until I started the blog. I'm having a tough time adjusting to the extra time needed in the mornings!
I love animal print! Especially leopard print. I want your shoes, they're so pretty!

I'm a HUGE animal print fan and this is soooo sexy. I love the classic B&W and your shoes.....WOW!!!
I'm not a big fan of tiger or zebra, but I love anything and everything leopard/cheetah. Shoes, tops, skirts... even pants! It's hard for me to resist once I lay eye on something with leo print.
Loving that outfit on you, you make look effortless and expensive : )
