Wednesday for the Working Girl - Bring your Wild Side to Work

I’m sure many of you have never thought of leopard prints as ‘work appropriate’, but as I said  in my post yesterday, it really does depend on the treatment of the outfit. There’s a time and place for everything and there's no-one who knows your work dress code better than yourself J

 If you are thinking about wearing animal prints to the workplace for the first time you might want to consider the following tips:

©       If you are in a very conservative and strictly professional environment try to keep animal prints for social occasions.

©       If your work environment encourages creativity, but you still need to keep some level of professionalism, go for animal prints in more muted colours or wear smaller pieces, for example, a thin leopard print belt or a python print scarf.

©       Always remember to stick to one item of animal print per outfit.

Here are some ideas on how to rock your animal prints to work.
