Katie Style – Spots and Stripes

  • Shirt – thrifted
  • Blazer – Kohl’s
  • Skirt – Gap
  • Germany necklace – T.R.S.
  • Scarf – thrifted
  • Shoes – Naturalizer

Black and white always reads as “zebra” to me. Throw a leopard-print scarf into the mix, and suddenly it’s predator vs prey in an epic survival of the fittest on the Serengeti.

Rawr.

Or a cast reunion for Zoobilee Zoo.

For those interested in knowing the difference between spotted animal prints, the following visuals should help.

Cheetah: solid black, round/oval spots.

Leopard: complex pattern of clusters of black and brown spots which look like roses (called rosettes).

Lisa Frank: Awesome.

  1. Oh wow that is some kickass pattern mixing!

  2. I would looooove a Lisa Frank leopard skirt.

    Your predator/prey identity crisis is looking pretty snazzy!

  3. LOVE the pattern mixing. Keeping it all in neutral colors is really what makes it work, I think. Although throwing in some Lisa Frank would definitely add a little extra something to the outfit ;)

  4. The Lisa Frank totally made me snort. So, thank you for that.

    And I love this outfit – the leopard is unexpected, but, like Lisa Frank, awesome.

  5. Oh, I love the triple mix of patterns here and wonder whether the predator or the prey won this round.

  6. I don’t think I’ve ever done 3 patterns before! You look great.

  7. Perfect patterns and stealthy preying! My sister and I were just talking about Zoobilee Zoo and no one else that we talked to remembered it!!!!

  8. Stripes and dots and spots, OH MY!

    That is what I thought EXACTLY as I saw this. I have not gotten so far as to do pattern mixing yet. I want to. I really really do…..but, I have not. *SIGH*

    You look kind of awesome, though, and I love your predator vs prey photo!! Really cracked me up!!!

  9. LISA FRANK!

    Love the combo here, though. The blazer is the perfect unifying touch for all the patterns in the rest of the outfit.

  10. Hey I have been looking for a German necklace and I see that you found one!! But where did you get it.. Because I don’t understand what T.R.S is?
