Splendid thermal, Orange Peel, $9 Photo by Meredith Sullivan.

The predicted trends for fall are of no concern when it comes to leopard. Whether it's "in" or "out" this particular season, I love it, and I'm going to wear it. Not to say that I go completely over the top, but I do keep my eye out for ways to incorporate leopard, even if just a little. It's as basic as black and can be layered or mixed with other prints like stripes, plaids and polka dots. It's so versatile that when it comes to adding a little leopard here and there, it's a no-brainer.
