If you take away one piece of fashion advice from this fall, it should be that animal print is a neutral. It may not seem that way, but you may be surprised how many colors and prints actually go well with it (just Google animal print + floral and you’ll see what I mean). While you might be more accustomed to picking white, beige or black to match, steer clear this year and opt for pinks, purples, greens, blue and even neon!

This week, I took a leopard print skirt from Children’s Place ($19.95) and created 2 looks: casual and dressy. Product info is below.
