Here's the keyword paragraph you've all been waiting for. Styling new outfits can be hard, but the big purr machines know what's got claws. If your closet is full of pieces that do not include leopard print, I can spot a problem there buster and also you should start using the word wardrobe, it has big cat energy. How to layer leopard print is a phrase you might be searching, so here it is in print (get it) so you can find this video and get some outfit inspiration and new / fashion / ideas. Sustainable fabrics are the fabrics that already exist, so conserve your sanity and our furry neighbours and shop secondhand. Or Thrift, if you're American. Which you could be.
