I love leopard. I think it's sexy, chic, classic, fun and wild. Oh…and it goes with pretty much everything.
I can't help feeling a bit like Joan from MadMen in this outfit. That is one W-O-M-A-N. I think all of us secretly want to be Joan. She is so wickedly smart and insanely sexy. A great combo. Okay…I'll stop going on about my Joan crush ; – > I'm sure you're starting to feel a little uncomfortable.
You might have noticed my latest trick of getting more wear out of my summer dresses by simply layering a turtleneck sweater underneath. I can't even think about going anywhere sleeveless right now. As it is I'm at my desk with a scarf around my neck. Seems I'm always cold once winter hits. You might ask yourself why I live in Canada…I ask myself the same question every year when winter rolls around.

The title "Leopard in Boots" makes me think of the film Puss in Boots which I loved. It had this fantastic dance scene that was literally some of the best Flamenco dancing I've seen since I was last in Spain. I know it has nothing whatsoever to do with fashion but here for your viewing pleasure is one of the best and funniest bits from Puss in Boots.

Gorgeous! You did Joan proud. I think admitting to the occasional Girl Crush is healthy 🙂
P.S. You’ve inspired me to wear my black turtleneck under my H&M sheath.

I love Joan too! Nothing wrong with a girl crush…
I have a striped turtleneck that I love layering under dresses in the winter. I should probably figure out where I have it packed away!

Oh you have to see it Katherine! It’s better than Shrek and funnier too.
Suzanne says
{sigh} Winter…why is it necessary? Can’t we just skip it this year?
Suzanne says
Can’t wait to see your outfit.

Thanks Rebecca.
Suzanne says
Thanks Marla. I’m kind of depressed right now because I got my hair coloured yesterday and it’s horrible. I really don’t like it. Super dark and most of the ends are no longer very light. Now I’m looking at these photos and missing my hair : ( Oh well…in 4 weeks hopefully I’ll be able to go back to this.
