Floral + Leopard

Back to school means my thoughts have quickly shifted from summer to fall.  Unfortunately here in Texas we still have at least another month of hot temps.  I decided to take a first step towards fall with a fall floral dress and leopard clutch combo.  
This sweet little dress was my first purchase from Gray Monroe last fall and I showed off fall floral 4 ways.  Before I began reading blogs there is no way on earth I would have mixed leopard with another pattern.  Thank goodness for learning leopard truly is a neutral and exp my closet!  

As Gray Monroe continued launching their fall line, the Amy Leopard clutch caught my eye.  I had been lusting after the Clare V. Leopard foldover clutch for probably two years but this very close look alike was definitely much friendlier on the bank account!

Enter this seasons #NSale and these Toms booties in this lovely shade of wine.  I ordered the first day of the sale but sat on my decision for a month before deciding to take them for a spin.  I’m happy to report they are super comfy, true to size and obviously look so adorable with this dress! I definitely think I will be getting my price per wear to a very reasonable price this fall!  

And truly, how did I make it so long without a Kendra Scott Rayne necklace?  I can hardly wait for my birthday month so I can grab something new.

So what do you think?  Would you pull together an outfit with leopard and floral?  I’m so glad I finally bought into the hype; leopard really is a neutral!  While my dress is long sold out, here are a few floral dresses I think would be perfect fall transition pieces.

  2. This outfit is perfection! I just love that dress with the booties and the clutch is spot on. I've wanted the Claire V. bag too but there's no way it will be coming my way anytime soon because I have a whole list of items I'm lusting after! I can't wait for cooler weather!

  4. At $40 this one from Grey Monroe is a really nice substitute! I love bags but am so lazy and rarely take the time to change them out especially day to day. This one is the perfect size for date nights or girls night out. Hope you have a super day Kellyann!

  11. I always love your outfits, but I think this is my favorite so far! Adorable! I absolutely love those Tom booties, too! I would have been just like you & hesitated on wearing them, but I bet now that you pulled the trigger on them you find tons on things to wear them with. I'm mean, wine is in the Aggie color wheel, right?

  23. It took me so long to actually take a chance on mixing this one up Stephanie. I really think the key is finding the right balance between the prints and not every floral + leopard would actually work. Know what I mean? Hope you are having a great week!
