Hello fellow fashion stylnistas..
Today's subject for rocking my ages will deal with two things; rocking animal prints in my fall styling wardrobe, and secondly the creation of a new blog called 'Rock My Runwaay' (rockmyrunwaay.blogspot.com) where you can view the clothing combinations using our discussed styles. This week discusses animal prints.(the pictures are taking up too much space for this blog that deals with all aspects of "rocking our ages".)
I love animal prints; there are so many ways you can use these interesting prints to combine combinations that work wonderfully with your classics. They fade in and out of fashion in much the same manner skirt and pant leg shapes do, but they always come back. For those of you who feel that one should not wear them because it encourages killing animals there are several excellent faux prints and in many colors; after all, when is the last time you saw a hot pink or acid green leopard?
Although animal prints have been widely used during these past few seasons, I have only made my important animal print purchases (shoes, purses, pants, a blouse or two) in natural colors because I believe the lime greens, fuchsia, teal, etc. are passing fancies and not really in my fashion aesthetic. I also use them sparingly (usually). It is my belief that this pattern can be over-used too easily in an outfit, diminishing elegance and dating the style. I do believe the prints will fade in and out as typical with most fashion phases. Each style cycle will be re-interpreted to become a fresh new fashion. I am having fun with this seasons interpretations, especially the grey snakeskin pattern. The shoes, purse, and pants I purchased for this season were all snakeskin.
Check out rockmyrunwaay.blogspot.com for some of my personal animal print combinations. I look forward to reading about your styling combinations.
Happy Styling...........Geneva
