Whee, I actually bought something new…and kept it!!!  I’ve been doing a LOT of returning this month…which is hard when I’m not working at school because I don’t have mail pick-up here at the apartment, so I have to take things to the post office, and I’m trying to only go out once a week. Anyway…I don’t have to worry about returning this cute leopard tee shirt dress because I really like it and am happy with the fit.

This is just like the other Old Navy tee shirt dresses I’ve bought over the years, but I feel like they’ve sized it down just a teeny bit…in a good way – it’s a little shorter than they used to be…and the arm and neck holes are smaller. Hallelujah! It’s in a bunch of colors and patterns and couldn’t be easier to throw on and go!

So I’ve styled it two ways today (though there are countless options, leopard print goes with so many colors and styles): an office look (in case we’re ever allowed to go back INTO an office) and a casual look.

And let’s just pretend, shall we, that I have cute little black flats on. And as long as we’re pretending, let’s also imagine I’m wearing the gold bead bracelet I bought myself for Christmas and now can’t find anywhere (story of my life)  AND the long gold pendant necklace I’ve been wanting for years but haven’t found one I liked at a price I wanted to spend. So, lots of imagining going on here!

The dress is sleeveless for warm weather but a lot of times we’re in air-conditioned offices so it’s nice to have a lightweight cardigan to put over it. This is that same fine knit black Old Navy cardigan I’ve been wearing for several years, all year round. It’s out of stock currently but I see it go in and out of availability all the time.

This ^ is how you can wear leopard to the office. This is a subdued (relatively speaking) leopard print, just two colors…and sort of a cool-toned background. The black cardigan over top tones down the animal print just a little more, and by seeing just the vertical line of pattern down the front, you only get a small dose of leopard.

Or, you may want to wear it more casually for dinner with friends, or to a gallery on the weekend (as if). So I tied the light blue Tencel blouse over top and slipped on some white sneakers and instant casual! Sorry there’s been so much “top tying” lately on the blog, but…there’s been a lot of top tying lately!

I like that you see the leopard peeking out of the unbuttoned shirt. I think I might like a grey tee shirt worn tied up this way over the dress, too.

I think I’m going to have many ways to style this dress in the future!

Would you wear a leopard dress (I know you would, Jodie!)?
