Years ago I was introduced to my aunt Marie's leopard coat with ruby red lining. And ever since, my inner animal makes an occasional appearance, whether it's in the form of ballet flats, head bands, or blouses. A hint of leopard can make a big statement and bring a change of pace to your regular routine. Consider pairing this furry feline with black, grey, or if you are feeling daring -- floral!
