I've always hated animal print, especially on a woman over fifty, picture it bingo wings with the leopard blouse.

I needed a new dress for a rare girls (below 50 yrs old but on the wrong side of 45) night out. Tried on a lovely (Gracia recommended) party dress. The body looked good but the face, OK 10-15 years ago I would have bought it. Bought a classy leopard print shift dress, sleeveless, bit more above the knee than I would prefer but with the black tights, high boots and hoops (in ears for a contempary look) I reckon I can pull it off.
It looks classy but then I will end up in a club full of 20 year olds. I could have gone for the tight trouser, black vest and accessories and blended in but I want to look my age (47) but not frumpy.

A bob would be great, make it glossy but have movement, just don't add any accessories to the hair or put on too much make-up.

Stay, that's me but the leopard is on the body. Great advice, I promise I won't overdo the make-up.

You'll look great. The fact that you are aware leopardskin is a toughie to pull off over the age of twenty and are being careful says you won't make it look like you gave birth to Kerry Katona
