Mutton or marvellous??

I'm off to my niece's birthday dinner in a smart restaurant and was thinking of this outfit

instead of a dress for a change. I have never worn animal print before but this has caught my eye. Any thoughts cos I don't want to look like mutton

[Sunnysider]

Link doesnt seem to work char

[ggirl]

I like it...bit of animal print it nice I think..not mutton aat all

[JeuxDEnfants]

Link doesn't work. Without being rude... What's your age... Otherwise can't tell if mutton or lamb :)

I love a bit of leopard so don't think its at all mutton.

Hope this link works now www.next.co.uk/x50242s2
I'm 45 JeuxDEnfants so not really a spring chicken!!

[JeuxDEnfants]

Still can't see it but at 45... You definitely spring chicken enough for leopard print :)

It very nice. Dont think its mutton at all since you are still quite covered except for the arms. If it had a plunging neckline along with the print then I'd say no whatever your age. Are you planning to wear similar trousers to the photo?

I think the simplicity of the whole outfit works with the print, ie plain fitted trousers, minimal jewellery etc

Might work if you are 5'10, slim, beautiful but on the other hand you could look a bit Bet Lynch. <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.com.au/imgres?q=bet+lynch+leopard+skin&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=xa5&sa=X&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&channel=np&biw=1920&bih=922&tbm=isch&prmd=imvnso&tbnid=AQh4Rr7WMtX0TM:&imgrefurl=www.shinystyle.tv/cgi-bin/mt/mt-search.fcgi%3FIncludeBlogs%3D32%26tag%3Dbet%2520gilroy%26limit%3D20&docid=YOppFTH1pqifoM&imgurl=www.corrieblog.tv/bet_lynch_very_drunk.jpg&w=230&h=172&ei=fuc2UIObBfGViAeMtoD4Cw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=301&sig=112003159324856186636&page=1&tbnh=127&tbnw=168&start=0&ndsp=58&ved=1t:429,r:3,s:0,i:80&tx=83&ty=33" rel="nofollow noindex" target="_blank">Bet Lynch

Marvelous! Leopard looks amazing with deeper greys, honest, give it a try.

[MrsCampbellBlack]

Oh please stop with the only if you look like a model stuff - most of us don't but we can still look good in nice/fashionable clothes.

But then i like Bet Lynch
