Outfit of the Day: styling a taupe animal print cardi

It all started out with a new NYX Lip Lingerie lipstick in Honeymoon that just arrived yesterday. So I put on my Wet n Wild nail polish in Wet Cement - a very glossy, wet finish brownish grey, which led me to figure out what to wear in the range of taupe... So here goes, this nifty little taupe animal print cardi that I thrifted for a couple of bucks some years back that I just never got around to wearing!

this cocoa, black and ivory rose choker necklace...

perhaps this tortoise shell link necklace...

 perhaps a horn bangle...

 that looks different from any side...

nice!

 I think a simple black tee will do the trick underneath...

I also like this black workout tanktop...

 this bronze pleated skirt to ring in the New Year, so already blinging things up a bit...

 but even these skinny black jeans would suffice...

or these heathered brown jogger pants to make the outfit more sporty...

and black peeptoe booties / shoeties...

 Wet n Wild nail polish in Wet Cement...

and of course this NYX Lip Lingerie lipstick in Honeymoon...

but even this Wet n Wild liptick in Cashmere would do nicely...

Varsity Rules

 loving the metallic chic of this silver varsity jacket...

 the grey and ivory white striped cuffs and waistband are a definite plus!

 and the metallic material is a knit so should have some stretch...

and of course the best part is that it has pockets!

More metallics - lavender and pink metallic pleated skirts

'Tis the season and I'm loving this long lavender / lilac pink metallic pleated skirt...

the skirt was cut very skinny so I turned it upside down and made it calf length...

definitely this mauve / lilac ribbed top will match...

perhaps this pretty pale lavender sweatshirt...

 

and something like these Miista Zoe Flip Paint purple holographic shoes for contrast...

like here...

 and this pewter moto jacket...

my 50 shades of grey tees for layering...

or a pewter top like this mesh tunic...

also looks great dressed down with a graphic tee...like this Guns n Roses tee...

or this Star Wars Empire Strikes Back tee / t-shirt...

this galaxy tee / t-shirt...

or pastel palm tree tank top...

and a lavender waterfall cardigan...

or even this black workout tanktop...

and this Zara pink metallic pleated skirt...

that looks quite glam...

with the very fancy waistband...

that would go with this skull and roses tee...

this coral red and pink roses necklace...

and these red sandals...

and it has a blush pink cast to it...

that would really cute with this blush pink lightning shirt...

or this pink floral shirt...

and this Warhol top...

and I love the zebra shoes with a pale lilac pink metallic micropleat skirt...

and this pink metallic skirt looks great with striped shoes...

and this pink metallic skirt is absolutely luscious!

also looks cute with a simple lace-edged cropped white camisole top...

or a black lace trim camisole top...

or this striped tank top...

that could be topped with a black waterfall cardi...

Ooh la la...

with a sporty crop top...

cute with a little cropped sweater...

like this v-neck lilac jumper...

or with an oversized sweater...

 

and because the skirt has silver in it, I would also team it with a grey sweatshirt...

slit worn on the front...

or side... Very stylish indeed...
