How do I wear animal prints the right way?

Check these out, too...

We love animal prints—they add pretty pizzazz to any outfit ya throw together. But too many spots and stripes can look a little, um, wild. Pair leopard and zebra prints with clean-cut basics (like solid sweaters, tights and tees) to tame these picks and make ‘em yours.

Check out our fave ways to wear this fierce trend!

The racks are filled with leopard prints of all different hues, not just plain ol’ tan and black. The dark blue on this frock adds plenty of drama. Find one with girly shape, and add jet tights and a bolero. Perf for those holiday parties!

Leopard Jacquard Dress, $25, forever21.com

You don’t have to go full-on safari to rock animal prints. A necklace with zebra-stripe beads is subtle—while still making a statement. Plus, it’s simple enough to go with all of your get-ups. It looks especially amazing with a red dress.

Triple Strand Zebra Bead Necklace, $11, nyandcompany.com

Swap black leggings for funky printed ones under a tunic or slim-fitting sweater dress. Wanna make them more school-worthy? Throw on a white button-down shirt, a wide belt and military jacket.

Daring peep-toes are a fave for fall. These cute zebra kickers work with everything from an LBD to skinny jeans and a fun t-shirt. When your shoes are so stylin’, it’s best to keep everything else pared down.

Women's Mossimo® Vida Peep-Toe Pumps in Zebra, $27, target.com

Scarves are the easiest way to accessorize your outfit during the winter, and infinity ones are our fave this year. A spotted neckwarmer will look cute peeking out from your pea coat or on top of a simple solid colored long-sleeve tee.

i super love the cheetah scarf, and the zebra necklace they're all pretty cool though.

robin'seggblue on 1/9/2010 3:22:22 PM

I have tons of clothes but i only wear a couple of them cause i dont like som e of them others i dont wear because i have worn them many times before. I can tell that my friends are getting tired of me wearing the same clothes over and over. I want to get cool clothes but im on a budget. Wear can I go to get dressy clothes and casual clothes at the same store that arent expensive?

vball55551 on 1/4/2010 3:19:54 PM

i love the scarf, and shoes. I never thought of wearing prints like that.

MOD MOD!!!!! I need really cute clothes i can wear in January and February that are warm, but by then stores sometimes start 2 put spring stuff out. What do I do???????????

Hey girl!

Start shopping now if you're afraid that stores will only sell spring clothes. However, you're right, it mostly happens in February so you'll still be okay to buy clothes for this and next month. Most will still carry basics that you need in winter like jeans, leggings and light or v neck sweaters.

I totally love, love, love the scarf! Pair that with white skinnies a colorful top and gray big-bottoned jacket and you've got the perf outfit. Pair it with flats for cas. and heels for a little bit fancier.

The dress is cute to! But I think I would pair that with a black bolero and chunky jewelry. To make it cas use flats and colorful leggings!

MackenzieC on 12/22/2009 1:50:53 PM

MOD! I'm only 11 & I want a high waisted skirt really bad! I can never find any that fit me right! Do u know where I could find any?(I'm about a 10/12 in girls)

Hey girl! Try looking at H&M or Forever 21 and seeing what they have in the smallest sizes. You'll be able to find something great!

A nice way to do animal prints is with a shoe. All summer long, I wore zebra print flats to hang out with friends. I usually paired them with khaki shorts and a white top.

fashioncat on 11/29/2009 4:28:59 PM

love everything but the leggings

nicole66016601 on 11/16/2009 7:00:24 PM

SwedishSoccerGal on 11/15/2009 7:48:05 PM

MOD Im trying to get more of a edgy sorta delias style( delias is edgy for me since Ive been a total preppy person cuz of my mom)any other stores that have a delias like style.

MOD MOD MOD MOD okay so how can i wear a black high waisted skirt for Christmas?? i was thiking of wearing it with a purple silky tank top and a short jaket shrugkinda thing with heels..... does tht sound good??? what kind of jaket or shrug should i wear with it. and do you know where i could get a skirt??

Hey girl! I think that Christmas look sounds really cute. With that, you can try a pretty cardigan or an edgy blazer to dress it up a bit. I saw some really cute black high waisted skirts at H&M yesterday, and I'm sure stores like Forever 21 have them in stock too. Check 'em out! Best, Kristen

MOD! I was wondering, i have so many scarves but when i wear them it looks like its freezing outside and im really cold. Is there anyway to were a scarf and it not look like its -20 degrees?

Hey babe, you can just hang one around your neck so that it dangles but not actually wrapped around. Check magazines for other scarf looks!

MOD?
I need some clothes ideas. I dont have a lot of clothes and im tired of looking like im wearing the same thing everyday. I have like, 5 shirts and 3 pairs of jeans. I have a pair of boots, but I cant put my jeans in them cause then it looks weird. I live in Texas if that helps any. Please help me!

Hey girl, try mixing your tops with different accessories. Try introducing some skirts or different color jeans into your wardrobe. Be creative, girl, and check out the GL style section for a little inspiration to get you started!

I constantly feel horrible about my body. I think Im fat but im not! If i dont excercise one day I feel way guilty. I guess the only reason I look fat is because I have no curves, but Im very athletic. I dont know how to stop feeling so bad about my appearance. I know I shouldnt obsess, but I cant help it. I am always thinking about it. Please help me!

Hey babe,

Unfortunately, this is a really common problem for girls your age (and women of all ages, actually!) It helps if you try to focus on things you like about your appearance and your personality and try to see what all your friends see in you when they tell you you're beautiful! No one feels pretty all the time, but sometimes you just have to remind yourself.

PS I don't just want the clothes because everyone else wears them, i acctually like them too. Please help me!!!

Hey babe,

Try petite sections. Most stores have them.

What colour mascara should i wear? i have light blonde hair and light blue eyes

Hey babe,

If you're going for a more dramatic look you can do black, but for a more natural of look, try brown.

do you have any tips on how to get a guys number casually and without seeming desperate or awkward or anything?? thanks!

Hey babe,

The best way is to have a reason to need to call or text him, like to work on a project or to give him homework help or to talk about plans that you both have for the weekend.

I want to go to the movies with my BFF, her friend, and this guy I sorta like. Thing is, she doesn't think it's a good idea since me and the guy don't really know eachother that well yet. Do you think I should wait? Would it be weird if I asked him to go to the movies if we don't know a lot about eachother? I think he likes me...but maybe I'm wrong, but is it too soon to even ask?
MOD thanks

Hey babe,

If you guys have spoken before, I think it would be okay. It could even be a great way to get to know each other better. But if you're still working up to talking to him then you might want to wait for a little bit longer.

I told my friend a guy hasn't kissed even my cheek yet and she looked shocked. I asked if it was weird and she said. "No-not weird."
I asked her what it would be then and she said "just different". Is it really that different? I'm only 13....
MOD thanks

Hey babe,

Maybe most girls where you are have be kissed by thirteen but I think on average you're actually pretty normal. Things take different amounts of time for everyone. don't worry about it!

~~MOD~~I am hosting a slumber party for my flute section, but what are some good activities that arent primping thinks like makeovers, doing nails, etc. Any ideas of more exiting activities? (I have alot of property in the woods if that helps at all) Thanks!

Hey babe,

I don't know where you live but it might be too cold to be out in the woods. Maybe you guys could watch a movie that has to do with music or bands. Check out our fun stuff section for more ideas, like crafts and recipes!

Love da heels!!!

Want to eat healthy but not ready to go full vegetarian?
Solution: Go semi-veg! This means that you will not eat cow and pig but still eat chicken and turkey (basically cutting out red meat). Or, you can give up all of those and just eat seafood.

Solution2: Moderation! Instead of every meal, eat meat just once a day or maybe once every couple days.

Solution3: Lower quantities! The average American eats 6 servings of meat a day (2 servings per meal) when all they need is 3 a day. How about you eat meat every meal but only half a serving each meal?

i've been talking/flirting on facebook with this guy i like. when i saw him online, i would chat with him and say hey and stuff, but lately i dont really know what to talk about because i have no classes with him at school. if i keep on starting convos with him he might think i like him a lot, which im not sure i want him to know yet. im so confused, so do you have any suggestions about whether i should keep starting convos and what to talk about? thanks!!

Hey girl! You can still have convos with him, but you just might want to limit how many days you talk to him. You could talk about whats going on in school or anything else.

hiya,
I'm thinking about quitting dance cause choir is starting to take over my life lol. anyway how can I know if it is really a good idea to quit? Also what are some nice light everyday makeup shades?
Oh by the way how to I get rid of zits quickly and easily? ty!!!!
Jazz

Hey girl! You have to decide what you want to do, its up to you to quit dance. You might need some time to think about it. You can try a light gold eyeshadow. To get rid of zits you can go to a pharmacy and try some over the counter cream.

Oooo! I love the heels but I can't really wear heels! I would probably fall in those anyways. But if y'all can't wear heels either, I saw really cute flip flops at Payless and the straps were Zebra print. That's a way to not go too extreme with animal print!
