When I was putting together this month’s capsule wardrobe, I had just purchased this little leopard dress but knew the potential it had. I initially bought it for our super quick trip to Napa, but quickly realized that it could easily be dressed up or down, and seamlessly work in with other pieces I already owned in my wardrobe….. and for that reason, it seemed like a smart purchase + a no brainer to include it in February’s capsule….

I always try to pay attention to how I feel in a piece of clothing. What mood does it evoke, does it match the occasion that I’m heading into, and how does it move with my body. All those factors typically drive how often a piece gets worn….

This dress takes a 10 in all three categories. When I wear it, it feels fun (always a win in my book). Toss on black studded booties and it fits a night out (that’s how I dressed it up in Napa), sneakers for a casual afternoon, and black sandals for a fun summer evening. And while all those pieces make me love this dress, perhaps it’s the way it moves on the body that sells me on it the most. It flows perfectly….

Given that I love it so much, I figured it would be helpful to show how it looks styled several different ways. The options are really endless… toss a black blazer on with black booties for a business casual look… a trench and sneakers for a daytime look…. a black kitten heel and leather jacket for a night out… or a sneaker and a sweatshirt for an off duty look.

Really, anything goes with this little number….
