I do love it on others, but seldom wear it myself. And the few pieces I own I never wear when my mum is around to keep peace. ;-) Your picture is so cool!

It is another great example of the fashionable Audrey Hepburn. I think you were wise to begin your leopard adventure with the handbag. You will be surprised how often you will use it, leopard print seems to match everything. You won't believe this, I began my leopard print with shoes (haha), OK, that's no surprise.

However, I am really interested in what choices say about us in subtle ways. There's a reason why Peg Bundy was often costumed in tight animal prints. I'd add that it's why the woman chooses what she does that's interesting and telling, and how much awareness she has of subtle symbols and what she wishes her clothes to communicate. <br />Getting over what parents say and do sometimes takes years, doesn't it? That's still an issue for me occasionally, but not quite debilitating.<br />Glad you liked my drawing ... I'm not completely happy with it, but it was an exercise.
