Mogambo! Or how I learned to use a short sleeved turtleneck - Option 1

Inspiration - because there is always one::

{Grace Kelly - soft beauty /and/ Ava Gardner - tough beauty in Mogambo}

Just like the two gorgeous women featured above; a leopard print can easily accentuate a woman's softness and/or toughness.

My intent was to some how remain feminine while still translating the feeling of the of the pic above. I think my outfit turned out pretty Mogamboish if you ask me ; )

In keeping with the Mogambo feeling, I implemented texture to the outfit by means of the bag as well as with the types of bracelets I selected.

faux leather and weave clutch/handbag from The Limited - paid $29 w/coupon

Vanilla and Tortoise bracelet from The Limited - purchased ions ago.

Black and Gold fabric bracelets from Forever21
