Definitely a YES! I bought a leopard trench in M&S last year, I love it, it jazzes up any old tat underneath. Wouldn't do head to toe leopard, but a gorgeous pair of shoes in that print are perfect!

littleboo · 13/12/2007 16:07

have seen some cute little jackets in NewLook, in Look magazine as well. Do you think theres an age limit though?

I bought a leopard print vest top. It shows a bit of cleavage, and I was a bit concerned I might get mistake for Lily Savage at first but it actually looks really nice on!

littleboo · 13/12/2007 16:23

sadly no cleavage to show, but thought the jacket was cool. Have already got some shoes, but not worn them yet.
Just didn't want to get the bet lynch or lilysavage look

these are nice

I bought a really well-cut dress from Kookai a couple of weeks ago, didn;t have the pattern I wanted in my size, so bought the one they did have (silvery leopard print - sounds vile but is very nice). And as I said the dress fits beautifully and is very flattering.

However the print makes me feek like Liz McDonald. Can see me never wearing the thing.

Think leopard print looks v classy on brunettes, but rancid old slapper on blondes (am blonde unfortunately!)

littleboo · 13/12/2007 16:28

It gives me the horrors - purely as it reminds me of being very pregnant and unconfortable. (I had a lovely leopard rpint pregnancy shirt 7 years ago)

I'd look like a rancid old slapper (lovely expression, well done!) in it these days I reckon.

kittylouise · 13/12/2007 16:47

Think my judgement is coloured by the fact that dd laughed like a loon when she saw it, and said (in horrible sarcastic tones) 'classy' when she saw me in it.

Little ratbag, she's only 11!

littleboo · 13/12/2007 16:49

I remeber trying something on with my dd1 ( also 11) she kept sying let me see... and when I braved it and came out she just said "OMG thats hideous in a really loud voice"
