the zebra print skirt

oh hello zebra print.

animal print is SO IN right now especially in the midi skirt style. which you know it means iā€™m ALL IN. yā€™all, the midi is MY JAM!! while iā€™m not a huge animal print lover, iā€™m really drawn to all the new midi satin/flowy styles coming out ā€” slightly fitted a top with a small flare at the bottom. now iā€™m mainly a pleated midi fan, but i am loving these new types of skirts because theyā€™re less dressier = more plain which isnā€™t a bad thing at all! these types of skirts can be worn both casually and dressy. i thought iā€™d venture out from my go-to animal print (leopard print) to zebra print. no regrets! unfortunately this skirt isnā€™t lined and it is a pull on style but they werenā€™t a deal breaker. here are a few quick tips on wearing these midi flowy skirts:

  • casual style: with a tee, button down knotted in the front, or a slouchy sweater and white sneakers

  • dressy style: off the shoulder top/one shoulder and chunky heels; i can even see a bodysuit too

  • always tuck or front tuck the top into these skirts to really show off that waistline and polish your look

  • go for a high waisted skirt to accentuate that waistline and it goes with the classy style of the skirt

  • drape with a moto jacket or denim jacket

and yes, there are sales associates in the store laughing at me. haha, a day in life of JD. seriously, the things i do for the GRAM. itā€™s nuts. not to mention all the embarrassing stories that have happened :D but iā€™ve learned that the best way to overcome all that is to LAUGH! i used to be more self conscious about taking photos in public but now i donā€™t care as much. over the years iā€™ve gained the confidence to ā€œwork the cameraā€ and lemme tell you it ainā€™t easy. itā€™s no biggie with people walking, people laughing and whistling, cars driving by, people honking haha. #goodtimes but seriously, props to real models.
