Leopard as a Neutral

If you know me, you know that I have mad love for leopard print. I can't get enough of the print. (although, I do know when to say when)

I saw this on Pinterest the other day,

and it got me thinking....this print has become so popular among designers and fashionistas everywhere, it IS a neutral.

 

Typically, a neutral is a color such as black, white, nude, or grey. There are no rules when it comes to wearing a neutral shoe. They are the basics when choosing a shoe.

 

In the past, leopard was worn with all solid colors, or it was outfitted (http://shoes-with-a-view.blogspot.com/2012/08/outfitters.html). Now, it is worn as a base color right along with black. (dare I say Leopard is the new black?!?!)

 

 

Here is how I would wear a Leopard shoe. I wore this to work last week. Even though I wore a lot of solid colors, I broke it up with the striped V-neck shirt.
