This is not leopard print.





{Cardigan: Luna | V-neck: American Apparel | Jeggings: Old Navy | Moccasins: Minnetonka | Necklace: Forever 21}
Let me tell you a funny little story. Let's give a little background, and say that I love leopard. If you know me, you know I love leopard. If you read my blog, chances are, you know I love leopard. And if you work at my favorite little boutique, Luna, it's pretty safe to assume that you know I love leopard.

A couple of weeks ago, I was browsing through the racks at Luna, and saw this "boyfriend" cardigan hanging in front of me. Initially, from afar, I thought it was a large-scale houndstooth. Then the closer I got, I realized it was leopard print. I tried it on, fell in love with the slim fit sleeves and comfortable knit, and bought it.

When I bought the sweater, it had been exceptionally warm here, so I tucked it into a drawer and decided to wait for the weather to cool. Today, it stayed pretty comfortably in the 60s, so I went ahead and wore it. When I walked downstairs, my mom jokingly asked, imitating one of the kids at work, "What does that spell?" And then I realized it: This is not leopard print. This is absolutely, most certainly, letters. Either I am visually impaired, incapable of recognizing patterns, or way too obsessed with leopard. You be the judge.

(Seriously, though? Letters? What is this?)

  3. Don't worry, brown and beige gets me all leopard-crazy, too. I think I see the word "after" spelled on their somewhere? Sorry I'm creepily staring at your sweater trying to make words out of it...

  10. Oh my goodness! As a graphic designer, I love all things with lettering on it. Your cardigan is so stinkin' awesome! Forget leopard print, the alphabet's in da house. Where can I find one for myself? Sigh, we don't have a Luna.
