I did a post 11 months ago about how to wear leopard and still look, you know, somewhat normal. I think animal prints can sometimes go way, way, way too far.
There’s a fine line between “Omg, so cute!” and “Omg, what were you thinking!” I may or may not have crossed the line on this one. I think the jury’s still out. Let me know what you think!
I just bought these Steve Madden leopard flats. I do like to try out trends every now and then. These shoes definitely have the menswear and animal print in all in one.
Okay, okay… I know. They’re kind of… crazy. But here is a polyvore I put together with ideas of how I plan on wearing them. They are quite comfortable and versatile. I think they can definitely be dressed up or worn casual. I like how they have way more coverage than a ballet flat (for colder days!), but still have a similar look.
Not too bad, right?
Thoughts? Anyone else jumping on this bandwagon?

I like the shape of the shoe, but I've never been a fan of animal prints. I pet they make this in a zebra too, don't they?
I really like them! I think those are great outfits. I struggle too with trendier things but these are great because you can wear them with outfits that are not too trendy.
I think they're adorable, here's some more inspiration:

I just did a post on leopard too! It's so in for fall!

Love them! I think as long as you do neutral clothes, they are a fabulous little punch of fun at your toes! Great find!
I dont think I could pull these off. I am not a big fan of the style and animal print but maybe if they came in a different design I could possibly try to make them work!

I love that skirt! Where'd you find it?
i love them and just did a post on Leopard shoes, however I prefer a pump to a flat (however leopard print pumps are fairly difficult to find without looking semi trashy or at least cheap) but i do like these flats.
They look like something Hugh Hefner would wear…
Cute! I did a post a little while ago where I mentioned my Jeffrey Campbell leopard flats that look just like those.

I love love that shoe! I also love the black pony hair, and the patent leather versions. I would scoop them all up if I could…. I'm a 10.5 and they only go up to 10..WAH
I love the shoe, I think a small touch of leopard in an outfit is great and makes it fun!!
Leopard and menswear styles look great on their own but mixed together, it comes off slightly tacky… I'm sorry!
Garance has those! http://www.garancedore.fr/en/2011/06/01/my-slippers/
I love the shoe! I haven't bought anything with leopard print, but I'm loving the small touch that the shoe adds to the outfit.
Ohhhh I reallly like these shoes and think the outfit pairings are super cute!

I say cute! I've been looking for a great pair of leopard pumps…I think leopard shoes are a great way to try out the animal print trend without going overboard. Pretty much a true classic.

I just bought a VERY similar pair by Sam Edelman. I can't wait for fall so I can start sporting them.

The flats add a bit of ecclecticim to what would be a very traditional look. I prefer outfits one and two over the jean ensemble. A hint(an accessory) of color brought upwards, possibly red would tie all the pieces together, nicely, in my opinion.
I totally have these as well! They are super cute and go with a lot of things! Good choice! They go really well with colored crop skinny jeans fyi! 🙂
