Call of the Wild

I'd been resisting a return to animal prints for some time. I wore myself out on leopard print in college which gave me plenty of reason to avoid it for years to come, but I've been seeing it everywhere recently, and once I see something like leopard print done well repeatedly, I can't help but want to try it out for myself. It can be a bit tricky to choose the right animal print piece because it can go in such a tacky direction so quickly––at least that was my fear in making the jump to leopard––but when I saw this dress in such a petite print at such an affordable price, I knew it was time to give leopard a second chance.
