leos

by Karen Blanchard
10 November 2010
Boots: Gee Wa Wa (got mine on Solestruck). Cord flares: Zara (bought years ago). Leopard tunic: H&M. Hat: H&M. Old belt wrapped around hat (vintage). Bag: LF. Thermals. Rings: F21 & gift. Leopard coat: Housing Works booth at Lucky Magazine Event. Wool scarf: Unseen/in bag.
***
I mixed two different leopard prints and busted out old Zara cord flares (bought about 3 years ago). About time I started using them!
I’m looking for an old scarf to tie around my hat. For now a broken belt wrapped around was a good way to use something I had sitting in a corner. Makes a change from wearing the floppy hat plain like this.
The leo coat reminds me a bit of Alexa’s one posted here. Hers is lighter coloured (and more $$$ it’s by Wren) but at least they both look vintagey which was what I most liked when finding this one.

ps. I cannot wait to share pics in that friggin’ cape posted below.

    ohhh…I would have bought that hat just like that, then I read you made it so glam with a broken belt. You are so….awesome.

    Karen I feel like this is your signature look, modern hippie. The belt on the floppy hat really took things up a notch. I can see you switching it out quite often this season. Those cords rock and so does the coat.

    I’m loving the mix of leopard – wonderful combination with the different colourways and size of print.

  50. Karen says:

    thx guys for the words : ))

    Fashion Chalet – I have a pair already why does that not surprise me? :-/

    Nickie Frye – thx for sharing. I’m on leo overload so I think I’ll back off for now a bit. I got the hat from H&M months ago. I noticed about a month ago though that they released more in brown.

    Sing – I know exactly what you mean…feels ‘me’ I THINK. I keep changing….

    Alexandria – ditto when I first saw it hanging up and it was the only one.

    This outfit reminded me of a female version of Jimi Hendrix, which is a total compliment by the way! 🙂

    as a shameless leopardprint disciple, i have to say that this coat is pure win!!!
