I have been on the hunt for a great leopard bag for quite some time now-ever since I fell in love with one and made the mistake of not buying it. And while I thought my wish list was pretty simple (nothing too expensive, versatile animal print, and big enough to schlep all of my stuff to and from the office and on errands around town), apparently I was wrong. And so, after looking high and low with absolutely no luck, I had all but given up. That is until I spotted it during a recent store visit-the one that got away.

Instagram Filter:  Earlybird

Polka Dot Tie Top:  Macy’s (on sale!!!)

Grey Tank:  ArdenB (old)

Skinny Jeans:  The Gap, similar

Sunnies:  Jessica Simpson

Heart Necklace:  Tiffany and Co.

Long Necklace:  My personal collection of charms

Watch:  Michael Kors

Leopard Bag:  Steven by Steve Madden (on sale at 6pm!)

Cognac Boots:  Aldo Farmar, similar

I think perhaps what originally drew me to this bag, and ultimately led me to purchase it is its coloring.  Because it has a lighter base and lots of different shades of tan, cognac, and brown, not to mention some very subtle black detailing, it is one of those pieces that will go with just about anything in my closet.  I couldn’t be more excited to have found it again (and for such a great bargain!), and know that I am going to get a lot of use out of it this season!!
