Outfit of the Day-A Leopard Inspiration (Keisha Knight Pulliam)

Its true what people say...A leopard never changes his spots. Well fashion is just like a leopard. Though fashion continues to evolve day to day or even year to year, some trends never change! Even if some trends change, they always tend to make their way back to fashion in one full circle.


Baby I'm Back
Leopard may float in and out of style but no one can dispute the power of a tasteful leopard statement blouse, scarf or shoe! Accentuated correctly, leopard can add flare to almost any look!
For instance, I was home watching Wendy Williams as she interviewed Ms. Keisha Knight-Pulliam. You remember Rudy Huxtable from the Cosby Show? Well, Keisha Knight Pulliam looked absolutely stunning in her sheer leopard print button down blouse. To compliment the leopard print blouse, Keisha wore a simple pair of white pants/jeans with a chain belt as an accessory. I have to give her 5*****for that outfit or should I say 5***** stilettos! lol Ms. Keisha definitely brought leopard back with style and grace!


Well, I loved this look so much that I went on a journey to create this look for my own personal wardrobe....

Leopard Print Blouse
I found a fabulous deal on a Sunny Leigh sheer leopard print ruffled top
for only $15! Sunny Leigh is carried in most Belk stores. A blouse by
Sunny Leigh can range anywhere from 39.99 to 54.99. I find her designs very classic and chic. Check her out at a Belk Store in your area.








Cream Pant
Almost 5 years ago, I visited a Steve & Barry's store and picked up a pair of Bitten pants by Sarah Jessica Parker. Since then, Steve & Barry's
closed their business leaving Sarah Jessica Parker's clothing line Bitten without a home. :-(

Bitten was a great alternative to expensive fashion foward items. For cheap prices...I mean really really cheap prices, Bitten designed boyfriend jackets, shirts and jeans for a price we ALL could afford.

Sarah! PLEASE bring back Bitten!!!


The Chain Belt
The chain belt is actually a long layered necklace from Forever 21 for only $9.
It was long enough to wrap around my waist, so I used it as a belt to accessorize!
I love when I am able to use one accessory in multiple ways!












The Shoes
I chose to wear red shoes to add spice to my Outfit of the Day. I found the red shoes on clearance at Rainbow Shops for only $7! If you are looking to purchase stylish items for cheap...check out your favorite stores as the seasons change. More than likely, the stores are selling out of their current seasonal items at a cheap price to make room for the "NEW" seasonal merchandise.
