Hot Mess or Fashion Success?

Animal Print Overboard!

L felt like Steve Irwin (R.I.P.) this weekend at the Liberty Hotel, mate. She spotted this beauty from across the room, giving the animal connotation associated with "cougar" a whole new meaning.

"I stumbled across this Hot Mess and had to quickly remember where I was and how I got there-- just double checking to make sure Ike didn't take me on a safari...I don't do "animals"."¹

Dressing like a zebra or any other animal when it isn't Halloween: Hot Mess!

Animal print is a definite "Do" for your wardrobe, but B & L recommend to keep it simple. Think: an animal print pencil skirt, animal print stacked peep-toed heels, or an animal print cami under a cardigan. Keep the animal print matched with neutrals to balance out the outfit.²

Wearing it in one piece, head-to-toe, is just too much.

Ways for improvement: She could have opted for red heels, or a piece of red jewelry to break up the outfit (possibly a chunky red statement necklace).³ And, it was still breezy out, so a cardigan would have gone nicely over her sheath.

1. Just ask L about the time he took her near a petting zoo. "Yuck."
2. You want to look classy, not trashy.

3. Also, she was located near the bar without a date. Having her arms crossed is horrible body language and makes her seem very unapproachable. She should read our Dating 101. And, what kind of cougar is not aggressive and on the prowl???
