City Street Safari

Looking to walk on the wild side, huh? No, seriously, animal print is here, been here and here to stay! Now if you are of the opinion that animal print is reserved for your older sexy aunties, please let me assure you, this trend can be young, fresh and modern as well!

I like to dabble with the style, ultimately making it an accent and not the whole ensemble. I’ve usually worn the basic leopard or cheetah print top in brown or black. This time however I opted for an oversized blouse with an accent of green, black satin slacks and a black blazer. A pair of mesh heeled booties provide some height but not overwhelming for daytime wear.

The showstopper with this outfit has to be these Steven Sasco custom earrings. This pair is inspired by the infamous emerald green earrings Beyonce wore to sing The Star Spangled Banner in 2013 at President Obama’s inauguration. I never forgot them and searched high and low for an affordable dupe. You can follow Steven on Instagram here.

My expedition to find an earring similar is a perfect example of the power of a good accessory! I literally saw Beyonce wear those earrings once and they were embedded in my mind! You can take the most basic of pieces and use accessories to completely amp up your look! Always remember that no look is out of your pocket range! You can literally find dupes and recreate whatever you want! Search, remix and shop your closet!
