Go Wild

I'm killing three very important points with this post.

1. Animal print is a must right now.

2. You can dress like a celebrity without going into debt.

3. Forever 21 is my heaven on earth. 

Animal prints like zebra, cheetah and snake have always made an appearance now and again in the accessory world. Occasionally they have been added to clothing in small doses. This season, however, animal print is only done right if it is all out.

Full printed tops, dresses and shoes have been making a statement and we are not to blame, we're only following in our favorite celebs foot steps. 

Of course Katy Perry can rock just about anything she dons, but her outfit here is easy to repeat for a quarter of the price. 

Before I show you how to copy Katy, there are two things to note. First, minimal accessorizing is required with animal print. Another cheaper way to have an incredible outfit for less!

Secondly, let the animal print have the most say in the outfit. Katy's makeup is light. A really nice contrast to the print. You want the clothes to have the animal affect, not your scary face!


So where are you to find a dress so trendy and wild? Only my favorite store on the planet! While browsing Forever 21's website to find you the best printed dresses they had to offer (its tough research, but someones got to do it) I found countless animal printed dresses (literally I stopped counting after about 10). But these made my top couple.

This sleeved cheetah print sells for $22.80. I love Forever 21 because you can get stylish pieces like this one for a reasonable price.

I also like her bracelets balancing out the bare arm.

Below, her dress is a snake print, which hasn't become quite as popular as leopard or cheetah, but still shouldn't be ignored. Snake has had huge success in the purse, bag and shoe department, and I hope it receives as much love in outfit form.

Thank you Forever 21, this dress is a mere $12.80.

So there you have it. A way to get the wild look for less.

  1. Interesting post Corrie . . . the "wild" look. Do Taylor students really dress like this?

    Should you really start with "I'm killing . . ."? I guess that goes along with your wild animal theme!
