Seeking: The Perfect Leopard Pumps

(This is a scheduled post; I'll try to answer any questions upon my return : )

**Ann Taylor is having forty% off everything once more. The greater 30% off shared by a reader here still works!** My select is the Overlapping Placket shirt, now $32.76, available in petite and normal in many colors. i have raved about an opening drapey blouse which did no longer are available in petites (I settled for a reg XS and changed it). This AT top in "Crisp Nougat" looks as if a very good dupe - the suitable impartial for wearing with prints, bold skirts, jeans, or layering beneath crewneck sweaters.

Heels: Ann Taylor Leopard Pumps sz 5 (buy here)  Blouse: Target  Skirt: thrifted  Watch: MK

Wanted -an elegant pair of leopard print pumps to jazz up my strong-coloured work outfits. necessities - approx 3.five" heel, almond toe, appropriate first-class, a few toe cleavage, thin heel, dark camel with true leopard brown & black spots, beneath $a hundred, maaaybe $one hundred fifty....do you exist obtainable?

A 12 months or  ago, I would not even consider some thing "flashy" like a leopard pump. And in particular now not for paintings! however, after eying my pal's each day via diverse seasons, i'm satisfied that a leopard pump may be versatile and  elegant. Hers are also Ann Taylor perfect leopard pumps, but circa 2010. I didn't soar on the ones due to the fact I did not love the print, but she rocks them.

over the past stackable Ann Taylor sale, I hemmed and hawed over this 2011 model. I just like the luxe "pony hair" material, but in-individual, the spots aren't proper for me. instead of true leopard spots, these are harking back to cocoa pebbles up close, or black polka dots from afar. Small and near-together, without a brown in the mix in any respect.

even though the match, quality, and material are all brilliant and what I anticipate from Ann Taylor shoes, for $83 i might as an alternative look ahead to the correct leopard pump. perhaps, just perhaps...they may do a third version subsequent year and it'll be the winner. right here are different patterns I taken into consideration, but for one purpose or the opposite (rate, crappy cloth, heel form) none have been ideal:

 Corso Como "Del-A,"    Franco Sarto "Luxe,"    Daniblack "Channing"

the second object I were given have been those best Patent Pumps, scored for just $65 with this coupon (nonetheless occurring proper now!). i like patent footwear in popular because you can wipe off dust, scuffs and scratches extra without problems than normal leather-based. Having already hoarded 3 colours of the identical fashion shoe (black leather, individual taupe, and gray suede), I know I don't want one extra. however, i'm retaining on to those to ponder over the following 60 days.

Readers - Do you find the leopard pump flashy or classy? Any rec's?
