There's Ice Age, there's Space Age, and then there's the Grace Age. In this season/era/age I'm grateful for God's immense grace, my late mom Grace , and the prestige of the glamazon Grace Jones. The mood board says everything , I love my mama, I love animals and I love wearing them, faux of course. Animal prints are a fun neutral that have such a range that can add je ne sais quoi to any outfit. Welcome to the jungle, let's explore!
Animal prints can make anything pop. It all starts with the perfection that is God's flawless use of the elements and principles of design. God is the #GDOAT : Greatest Designer Of All Time. Psalm 139:13-14 says "For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well." Marvelous are His works truly; just look at yourself, a heavenly work of art. One can only dare to dive into His divine detail. From the use of the contrasting hues of the bovine and the zebra, to the rhythm in the graceful strut of the jaguar. To the spotted dotted perfection of the panther grouper; reminiscent of a Carolina Herarra gown. Im still not over His choice of a primary color scheme for the scarlet macaw parrot; how glorious for the eyes to see. They say the devils in the details but my standard when it comes to details, is the Creator Himself.
Here's why animal prints are my favorite neutral. Primarily, they showcase God's art. They can be worn all year round. They're an easy way to shake up an outfit. And ultimately they have the potential to make you look well traveled. They can give off "ready to jet set to Lagos" or "glamping in the smoky mountains."
Here is how I would style animal print Spring/Summer, Fall/Winter.
For a trip to the Motherland. The ice cream trinity colors give off a soft playful vibe. The zebra print is the perfect pop of courageous stripes.
