Encyclopedic Kitsch

Cardigan, J.Crew. Shell, Talbots. Jeans, Gap. Headband, Holt Renfrew. Pumps, Banana Republic.

If you had told me last year that leopard went with everything, I would've promptly included your name in a special list I reserve for tacky people, alongside Liberace and Tammy Faye (you should be so lucky!). Then again, I read The Encyclopedia of Bad Taste from leopard cover to leopard cover years ago and have been biased ever since. Now that I've been sporting feline footwear a few times a week, perhaps it's time to revisit some other déclassé items on that list. Stay tuned for photographs of my new lava lamp and Twinkie addiction.

Great cape recommendation! There are many beautiful options out there between 4-600 but that's a little rich for a trendy piece.

Sweet outfit, love the leopard pumps with the aqua and grey (I have those jeans), I'm just beginning to embrace the leopard/neutral idea myself.

I'm strongly of the opinion that leopard print is basically a neutral when you're wearing it in shoes (if you're wearing it as spandex leggings, maybe not so much...). How high are your heels here? Those shoes are adorable!

If you start wearing parachute pants, I'm disowning you. But feline footwear? Purrfect! Great outfit: pastel colors always look lovely on you.

Love how you styled your jeans. Leopard print shoes have become almost neutral now. Just don't break out the Hammer pants!

I will admit I have a pair of leopard print pumps and I love them! They go with everything :) A little leopard print goes a long way!

This is so cute! I've been thinking the same thing about leopard lately, but it still hasn't made it's way into my wardrobe. Those shoes are so cute, I think I may have to start my search!
