don't you miss animal prints and the luxurious feel of fur in the summer? that's my only downside to the hot weather. So decided to think of some ways I could get in touch with my animal instincts without overheating. Lounging by my pool, (yes my COLLEGE DORM has a POOL) I had to bring some old magazines to keep me entertained as friends accidentally snoozed off while tanning.
In the September issue of VOGUE with Carrey Mulligan, which I discussed in my very first post, I noticed they talked about the fun one can have with furs in bright shades such as fuchsia and electric blue. My smile soon turned upside-down when I realized this issue came at a time when it was becoming cooler, but I was sitting in 80 degree weather.
going back to my dilemma - how to get in touch with my wild side in the heat?
I soon remembered I had a leopard shirt I recently bought at the Goodwill in my pile of laundry. I liked the combination of the bright blues in the mag and leopard print I found, so I combined them and, after seeing storm clouds in the a.m., I put on my version of rain boots in warm weather - BCBG black rubber jelly gladiators.
In a big coincidence, I saw one of my friends in class wearing black zebra print tights! Not exactly the coolest option in terms of degrees, but certainly cool in terms of kewl.
But how can we convert colorful fur into a summer access (
I'm recently kind of bored with my hair. So i considered cutting it and/or coloring. Doing both would make it look and feel like a little neon fur coat on you head! AND keep you cool...seriously considering.
But i don't wanna be repetitive and wear out a good thing so maybe i can go from this to...
I wish i was brave enough for this
Suede shirts, I know sounds hot but I've seen some versions at H&M and they feel pretty light. I want.
another alternative is to let yous shoes do the talking
WOAH just went into H&M's website and I see they have a unisex collection and all the proceeds go to aids relief!! That's a first (no sarcasm, i meant the unisex collection)
It's pretty affordable as well. Here's the link to the items if you're curious!

So to come full () <----------------<< that's a circle
What have we learned today. One can evoke the same luxe wild look fur has in the winter with cool hair, shoes and clothing alternatives in the summer (leopard print anything hello) but one thing that should always be covered up no matter what season, well you know.
