Another Rule Broken

jacket~Building 19

sweater~ TJ's
There is a rule out there somewhere that says you shouldn't wear unrealistic animal prints.  Oopsey.  I mean, who really knows their animal prints anyway?  Yeah, well I guess you would know they wouldn't be purple.

The idea for this  post was from Tammy over at Silverstyle.   Drop over there and take a peak at what the ages are doing for trends.

Just a few notes here; I've had to wear my glasses due to allergies (ugh), the funny look of my legs are my fishnets, and this is my new bag, (Patti)!  You can't tell, but it is copper colored, has all the pockets and organizers I love, and an adjustable strap.  Great feeling leather.  Love it.  Had to take a pic with my bag on--I mean this is what I look like most of the time! 

Do you think of posting with your bag?

  1. I haven't heard that rule and wouldn't have followed it anyway. You are looking spectacular in the purple print. And yes, sometimes I post with my bag. Your new bag is definitely 'post worthy.'

  2. You know how I love animal prints! I have no qualms wearing any animal print in any color. Yours is beautiful. I love the detailing on it.

  3. Great looking bag! I think if your animal print is intended as a fun rather than a serious piece, it's fine to whip out the not-found-in-nature colors. And that jacket is fun!!

  6. Love the jacket! Not quite an animal print anyway. I know what you mean by bags that have all the pockets etc. Those are keepers!

  7. Forget the rules. I love how you are breaking all the rules. Although I didn't really know that rule to be honest. Loving this outfit and the bag. Yes, I like doing photos with bags. Often the bag is what makes my outfit more interesting!

  9. That's a brand new rule to me and I'm glad you broke it. I think that print is sassy and fun, and pink is a great color on you.

  10. Rules are made to be broken :).

    You look adorable in glasses, why not wear them more often?

    I love the outfit, and your new bag too. I would post with a bag but I only have a temporary guy I'm using while I search for the perfect bag.

  12. Who gives a hoot about rules.....
    My take is if there is a rule I want to know it well so I can break it well.
    Thank you for participating. I truly love your jacket.
    New link is up and it's easy! All about the boots baby!

  13. Hope your allergies clear up quickly - I get bad hayfever this time of year but seem to have so far avoided it!
    I like your gold bag! Great new addition!

  14. When I designed for Barbie I put her and all her friends in different colored leopard bathing suits. No really, the line came out sometime in the 90's but I can't find a photo anywhere. So I personally feel that purple leopard print is fab, and I think it looks fab on you too!
