Leopard Print Shirt and Oversized Sweater for Fall

November 2, 2018

 

Affordable OOTD cozy sweater and leopard print shirtLeopard print. It’s everywhere. Each fall it comes back. This year I decided it was time to purchase a few leopard print pieces to add to my fall wardrobe. I wasn’t looking for a large leopard print coat, but a piece I could wear with layers and show a little leopard print. I was lucky enough to find a Theory leopard print shirt with a tie on the front. It’s perfect for dressing up with a leather jacket or wearing with an oversized sweater.

Cozy sweater for fall with a leopard print shirtI don’t know about you but I sometimes find it hard to incorporate trends like leopard print since they seem to take over an outfit. How to introduce pieces I could use in multiple seasons and to feature as part of an outfit, but not look like a wild animal? I wasn’t really sure how to do this until I found a few pieces that really fit this description. Let’s look at a few ways you add leopard print to your wardrobe without it taking over.

Leopard print shirt with an oversized sweaterHow to add leopard print to your wardrobe, subtly.
  • Find a SLEEVELESS BLOUSE. This can then be layered under sweaters or jackets.
  • Look for leopard print pattern SHOES. Shoes can be a great way to introduce a bold pattern without taking over an outfit.
  • Search for accessories like a SCARF or PURSE to add the pattern to your wardrobe.
  • Add leopard print TIGHTS to your wardrobe, this is an affordable way to the pattern into your everyday wardrobe.
  • Think about leopard print EARRINGS! I saw some cute ones that were round and looked great.

Leopard print shirt for fallI introduced leopard print with this outfit by keeping the base black and beige to pair with the leopard print shirt. This is a great outfit for the office or brunch on the weekend, but I can easily take off the oversized sweater and it is instantly dressed up.

FRUGAL FASHION FRIDAY

Black boots and jeans for fallNow again you might think, Tijana this isn’t one of your under $50 outfits. The shoes alone cost $70! I have had these boots for three winters now. They are still stylish and in great condition. These boots were an investment. Also I want to put it in perspective a little. If I bought the Theory leopard print shirt brand new it would have cost around $250! THE SHIRT ALONE. Thrift shopping allows me to own beautiful clothing at a discounted price. I am also able to purchase $70 boots since the clothing I purchase is so discounted.

03.10.18 5 Years. 1. Our wedding dance. A random 03.10.18

5 Years.

1. Our wedding dance. A random, simple picture I saw on my computer. I feel like it could be a regular Tuesday night in the kitchen with Mark saying something funny and me laughing. Add in two toddlers, probably screaming for a group cuddle, just out of frame.

2. Second Date, 9 years ago.

3. DIY photobooth photos. I love these photos. We look at them every year. I always roll my eyes where I can see the night takes a turn and the backdrop is halfway ripped down, but it cost $40, sooooo...worth it. 

4. Evie, Poppy, and Mama. The photobooth was supposed to be an early surprise for our anniversary as the 5th year is wood. It's an old-school wooden photobooth that happens to be set up in North Van right now, but Mark got really sick. Instead, we did a girl date, had croissants, bubbly water, photobooth photos, and a craft session. 
 
I'm posting this early because I'm signing off social media for a bit. Life with two 3 year olds is full and takes a lot of energy. Marks business is thriving, and I need to be able to support in any way I can. Plus, if I have an extra 10 minutes, I probably should be doing some self care, not scrolling on my phone. 

✌️
Have you ever been shopping at your local Salvatio Have you ever been shopping at your local Salvation Army thrift store and looked up? There is so much to discover in the aisles above the racks. Everything you need for a fun and connected long weekend with the family. 

Games, puzzles, colouring, and more! I was excited to find a floor puzzle and a few games for our younger kids. All 3 games and the puzzle only cost $12! A great investment and definitely something that will get good use in our house for many years. 

Any plans for the long weekend? Going out of town or staying home, I would definitely suggest a quick stop at your local Salvation Army thrift store to discover all of the wonderful items to keep your family entertained all weekend long.

Swipe to see the inside of the rainbow cupcakes. Honestly, so easy, and they look great! Next time, I might reverse it and make rainbow icing and plain cupcakes, a bigger wow factor. BUT three year olds LOVE sprinkles, so this worked.

THREE! 🦄 🎉 🌈 I had a lot of fun with thi THREE! 🦄 🎉 🌈

I had a lot of fun with this one! Do you think I accomplished this on a budget? You bet I did! The only thing about being on a budget is that it can be a bit more labour intensive. 

I used cookie cutters again, which makes for easy prep. I cut out all of the sandwich pieces in advance and froze the rice krispies oncee they were made. The rainbow cupcakes I baked in advance and froze, so it was easy to take them out and ice the day of the party.

As for the decor, from the dollar store: 3 bags of balloons, 10 streamer rolls, and 2 unicorn felt banners. Plus leftover string, tape and a Happy Birthday kit, which included the foil balloons and rainbow balloons. Total: $32.50

Now that might not be the cheapest decor but when balloon garlands sell for hundreds of dollars, I think that's a pretty good budget
Yup, I'm that mom. 🫣😂 My kids will be embar Yup, I'm that mom. 🫣😂

My kids will be embarrassed by my enthusiasm one day, but until then, I'm bringing it full force. A few friends sent me photos, and I looked like this in most of them.
TWO! I thought we'd have a big party to FINALLY ce TWO! I thought we'd have a big party to FINALLY celebrate our girls last year but then another lockdown. We had a few family members, and it was nice, but I still went all out! 

Super affordable decor: cookie cutters, $1.99 plants, and butterflies (I think this was a set of 50 for not that much). I also bought secondhand butterfly wings for the kids to wear. 

The cookie cutter adds a level of fun to the food and a bit of themed decor to the table. Butterflies were easy to add throughout our house. Plants ended up outside on our front stoop afterward. 

PS I won the balloon garland! That would be a big party splurge.
The kids have taken over the bath! I wanted to fin The kids have taken over the bath! I wanted to find a nice storage solution for my bath essentials that didn't take up a lot of room. To find what I needed, I headed to the kitchen section of my local Salvation Army thrift store. You might not think the kitchen area is where you'd find bath supplies, but I was looking for something different.

I was so happy to find this heavy cheese plate with dome. It would keep all my bath supplies safe from small children. Then I fell in love with this terracotta pot for my Epsom salts, along with a porcelain spoon, simple candle, and small glass vessel for the matches.

The matches I found at the dollar store, they were long bbq matches, so I cut them to size and taped the striker onto the bottom. I love how it turned out, and I was able to use this secondhand glass jar in a new way!

Don't worry, the kids' toys are still there, I thrifted a small little basket to keep everything contained and in ONE corner.
