ANIMAL PRINTS, BELL SLEEVES & RUFFLES - FALL FASHION

Animal Prints have been a part of Fall Fashion for ages . The style of prints might change, but some form of animal prints always make a comeback on the runways, at Fall-Winter shows . I decided to style Animal Prints two ways, in my Fall Date Night outfit. It was the Man's Birthday and one of the most special days of the year. My goal for my outfit was that it had be chic and comfy.

Olive /Military Green scream Fall just like Pumpkin spice. And I  literally wear my military green and camo jackets to death this time of year. So when I came across this top/blouse in military green with a unique snake print, I knew I had to have it. It was flowy, which meant, I could easily hide my food baby.

The Ruffles and Statement Sleeves from Spring-Summer easily flow into Fall. The tones change, and the prints, but the silhouettes can still work, with season appropriate accessories.

Leopard is a Neutral, by all means, isnt it ! At least in my books, it is. With Animal Prints, there's always the risk of overdoing it and looking like a Christmas Tree. But toning down the python/snake with a leopard seemed like a good idea to me. If you want, you can even pair the blouse with black patent leather pumps, or even black booties.

Its all about balance when you are planning an outfit. If you have Volume in your top/bouse, then you try to balance it out with a more fitted/leaner silhouette below, and vice-versa. As my Top was flowy and billowing, I wanted my skirt to be slightly more fitted. A high waisted skirt is great, or a even a mid rise skirt, for someone who has a body type like mine. I opted for a black skirt with leather detailing. I know the pictures don't pick up the leather part of the skirt, but Mommy Bloggers often don't have the luxury of lengthy photoshoots. Apologies for that. This skirt is an oldie, and has been featured in quite a few outfits here on the Blog, so you can tak ea look at those, if you want.

MAC Mehr on the Lips, as its another Fall staple for me. Some Silver Hoops and we were all set to party.
