There was a time I thought animal prints were tacky, but I changed my mind many years ago and now I own dozens of animal print items from clothes to shoes, including accessories like scarves and even jewellery. What I like about this animal print is the unexpected shades of blue. It’s from COVERED PERFECTLY but I don’t think it’s available anymore or I would buy another one for when this one wears out.
I don’t think it’s going to wear out any time soon because the quality is superb, made in USA. So soft and comfortable like everything COVERED PERFECTLY makes.
My pants were gifted to me by one of my dance students, thank you so much Colleen! I’ve always wanted faux leather pants and these ones have a panel of faux suede, which I love!
We are very blessed to have this beautiful forest behind our house with a trail that goes deep into the woods where deer and coyotes live. The heavenly fragrance in the forest was naturally intoxicating!
A wonderful place to rejuvenate!
Take time to walk in the woods!
Evokes memories of my childhood with my mom’s music echoing through our house — A Walk in the Black Forest by Horst Jankowski.
I need to do some earthing soon! I’ve actually started collecting more leopard prints and I used to not be Wild about them either! Love how you paired your outfit with the sleek leggings!

Thank you Lena! I personally think animal print can suit anyone who loves animals, perhaps just a scarf if one doesn’t want too much of a good thing 😉

Beautiful you in this lovely forest. Lucky to have one behind your house. This music gives me memories too, home as child with my family listening to that sort of lovely music. Do you remember ‘ Morgens um sieben ist die Welt noch in Ordnung’ – love that one too!

Vielen herzlichen Dank liebe Ute! This is heavenly music, makes me so happy! 🙂 Such talented musicians using their gifts to enrich our lives! What would the world be without music? The song you mentioned is from the 1968 film. I have never seen it, but now I’m interested to watch it.

We found it on Youtube: great for practicing my German and I enjoyed the ’60s clothes and the German house. Archibald Eser was amazing in his role of Gaylord, only 7 years old. Apparently, he’s an event planner in Munich now.

I originally shied away from animal prints because I kept thinking they were trendy. Then I happened upon a Dior ad from ’48 and there was Leopard print and it finally fit me they are beyond trendy and just downright classic…been collecting them since.

Animals have been wearing these patterns since the beginning of time! Guess that makes animal prints timeless. 😉 Thanks so much for stopping by.

What nicest pants, I really like the design and how good they look on you, although, in reality, anything looks good on you! And the shirt is also cute. Although we do not like the skin of animals in our clothes, we like to show off their drawings on us, right? This shirt matches a lot with the color of your eyes, making the whole outfit wonderful. How beautiful your pendant, how beautiful your smile … how beautiful you! In the photos you look gorgeous, impossible not to think you’re the queen!

Thank you so much for your kind compliments Josep-Maria! We do agree that animal prints are lovely to imitate and animals should not suffer for fashion. Faux leather is very comfortable and the quality has much improved over the years.
