Oh, leopard. I want to love leopard. And I do… but in small doses. I posted about leopard back in 2010 and again in 2011 and I figured it was about time I did the annual leopard post.
I do love leopard shoes. I think leopard shoes look super chic when paired with a basic outfit. Whether it’s skinny jeans and a white button down or a pair of black leggings and a chambray button down, you can make it work.
Chic right? Sign me up.
Here are my favorite budget friendly leopard flats. I think it’s worth it to save rather than splurge on leopard flats. They probably wouldn’t get as much use out of, say, black ballet flats.
Which pair of shoes would you choose? What outfit would you wear them the pair?

I like the Steve Madden slippers with the tassels! I'd pair them with a warm cable knit sweater and some chinos or jeans. I think leopard shoes are the only thing with leopard I'll ever wear…haha. Xxx
I think Steve Madden does a good job of making leopard flats SIMPLE!
Target actually has leopard flats for around $15.
Flats and smoking slippers! They're my favorite shoes in my closet right now.

The leopard flats from Target are my all time favorite! So comfortable and cute. And the best part is…when you wear them out and need a new pair…they are only $15!!! LOVE them.
I have a pair of Lucky leopard flats that I LOVE! They're so fun.

I love the sam eldman pair! Those shoes in general are just so comfortable!
I'm in love with the Steve Madden pair! I've had a pair of round-toe calf hair leopoard flats that I got at Nordstrom about 3 years ago, and lately I've been kicking myself for not buying a second pair back then (they seem to get pricier each time they come around!). I actually get more use out of mine than my basic, solid flats–to me, leopard is basically a neutral. I love to wear it with orange, pink, navy,eggplant…I especially like to mix them with a little pattern elsewhere in my outfit, like a blue gingham buttondown!
Yay leopard! I have a pair of calfskin leopard print Tory Burch Revas that I found for $70 at my local Nordstrom Rack, and I wear them at least three times a week.
I loooove those shoes!
I LOVE leopard flats!! I have a cute and simple pair from Target that I wear allll the time. They aren't the best quality…I mean they are from Target. But they are so cute and versatile. I wear them to work with black slacks and a colored shirt. I like to wear them with a plain outfit to spice it up. Outside of work I like to wear them with jeans. In my opinion the best pieces are those you can wear to work, on a casual day off and out on a night out. I LOVE it.
I have a pair of leopard ballet flats that I love to wear. Usually with simple colored outfits- I'm not brave enough to mix patterns! I just bought a leopard dress though, so I'm branching out!
I wan to LOVE the Nordstrom BP pair, but I dislike the heel on the back. I am a huge flat wearer because of the walking I do on campus and to and from my apartment. The heel is a little much for me… but I do think you're right that even if you're not a huge fan of animal print, especially leopard, that you can easily spice up a simple outfit with a pop of print on your shoes! I will continue my search for a pair without a large heel…
Those are all so cute! But I think $50 is way too much to spend on shoes! Maybe it's because I'm still in cheap/poor college student mode… I have my most favorite leopard pair from Marshall's and got them on clearance for $15! I think they were originally $50 from the designer, so I got a sweet deal!

Is $50 being the CHEAPEST pair of shoes really budget friendly?
YES you can certainly find adorable shoes for <$50. My leopard flats are from Old Navy.
I Just bought a patent pair from J.Crew Factory for $50. Normally, I am not all about animal prints, but I love these shoes as an accent pattern! Can't wait to wear them this Fall!

I love the Me Too brand. Leather uppers (although not leather-lined) at a great price – can't beat it. I have the Paige (in black) and the Patty (nude) flats and I love them. The Patty also comes in a leopard print: http://www.endless.com/dp/B005XWS3J0/ref=asc_df_B005XWS3J02179790?tag=googlecom09c9_endless-20&creative=395033&linkCode=asn&creativeASIN=B005XWS3J0
I agree with leopard (or any animal print) in small doses… I thought I was the only one not obsessed with it!! The Target ones are GREAT
Such cute leopard flats you chose! I love every single pair, I'll have to snag myself some the next time I go shopping.
Hi there! My latest leopard find was a pair of suede platforms with a square (high) heel at Target. I got it on sale for 15$. Of course, it goes best with a simple outfit; my favourite choice is all black. I can't wait for the weather to get colder so I could style it!
Love,

I love your leopard picks! Can't believe it's getting cold again…but so excited to be able to wear leopards again!
I just made a post including leopard shoes as well, how ironic! But yes, I LOVE the Steve Maddens. Urban Outfitter's has also come out with chambrap shirt dresses and rompers- I think perfect to pair with tights and boots for the fall!
