Summer Series 2 on summer prints and colors continues this week and this week we're going to give you another tip on a print that is hot for the summer....animal print. Leopard, cheetah, and zebra prints are the most popular of animal prints and can be found on a number of different clothing items. We found quite a bit of pictures of celebrities wearing animal print, so we will show them to you and tell you how to get a similar look while making it your own! So let's get started!
Cassie is seen to the below to the left wearing a blue, zebra print crop tank. She paired it with a pair of distressed, white denim jeans and a pair of blue pumps to compliment her shirt. This look is sooooo simple to achieve but we're going to show you a different option but the same concept to show you that you do not have to have the same items to get the look.
Start with this Cream/Black Relaxed Zebra Print Top for only $14.80 and pair it with these Fab Skinny Black Jeans for only $10.50, both from Forever21. Instead of doing a pair of black pumps...or typical red (nothing wrong with them though) do another color, something similar to this pair of Yellow Platform Pumps on sale for $20 at CharlotteRusse.com. For top, bottom, and shoes...that's only $45.30...a whole outfit under $50! Now let's talk accessories! To add some more color to this outfit, try something like this Crackle Faux Stone Necklace. It has a pop of turquoise in the necklace which will stand out against the cream and black top and then stand out with the pumps. For earrings, just do a pair of studs like so....Gold/Black Rising Phoenix Studs. The rest of that necklace is gold and black so it will tie it together. Lastly...try something like this Lime/Blue Peacock Bracelet (has a bit of turquoise and a yellow tint) to complete the look. The whole outfit is only $61.70... Top, Bottom, Shoes, and Accessories for $61.70?! Stop Playing...that's less than one pair of jeans for guys... #Winning.
If you wanted to do a dressy outfit with an animal print top...take a look at Khloe Kardashian to the right. She just has on a leopard print blouse, black skirt, and a pair of black, peeptoe booties. For accessories, she just did a few bangles on her arm. To recreate this outfit, start with this Leopard Print Tank. Then pair it with this Knit Bandage Skirt in Olive and do a pair of nude pumps like so ----> Nude Almond-Toe Pumps (on sale for $20 at charlotterusse.com). For accessories, you could do the gold pair of hoops out of this Hoop Earring Set (3 pair for $3.80) and a unique bangle like this Gold Interlocking Metal Cuff. The total cost of this outfit is only $59.90 ...for EVERYTHING.

Moving right along to dresses...
Let's look at Fergie to the left, she has on a leopard print dress with some color in it. She layered a black jacket over it and paired it with a pair of black booties. To kind of recreate this outfit while still making it your own, start out with this Brown/Black animal print dress and pair it with Black Classic Career Blazer. For shoes, try this pair of Black Platform Pumps. Accessorize the outfit with a the same pair of gold hoops and bangle listed in the tip above. Also, do this Red Clutch/Wallet to make something with the outfit pop so it's not so bland and try to do a red lip and a smokey eye. Now the total cost of this suggested outfit is $88.70 for everything, not as low as the other tips, but there was a dress and blazer involved. Plus, blazers are so versatile and can be mixed with quite a few items in your closet so you'll get multiple use out of the items.
Kim Kardashian is seen to the right in a leopard print skirt paired with a black, long-sleeve turtleneck sweater. For shoes she just did a pair of black pumps. To do a similar outfit to Kim's while catering it to the weather and not doing an exact replica, start out with this Black Racerback Tank w/Pocket. Pair it with this Black/Royal Knit Zebra Skirt and something similar to the black pumps listed in Fergie's tip. For accessories, try something like this Silver Hinge Feather Necklace and a pair of simple silver studs. Then try this Textured Pyramid Bracelet...which is gold and silver allowing you to do this Cleo Bangle Set in Gold/Orange to add some more color to the outfit. The total cost of this outfit would only run you about $56.00 for ALL OF IT!
The tip above was more on the dressy side...so to do a casual look with an animal print bottom, try these Cheetah Spots Denim Shorts. Pair it with this Heather Grey/Red Run DMC crop tank to add something else to the outfit instead of doing a plain tee and then keep it on the subtle side with this pair of Black Perforated Leatherette Loafers or you could these Cream/Black Herringbone Flats. For accessories, do something simple like a pair of gold hoops and then a bangle like this Gold Snake Chain Bracelet. Depending on what pair of shoes you get, this outfit would cost $66.00-$68.00 for all the items listed for it!
