What I Wore Wednesday: Tiger Sleeves

I've gotten into a pattern of wearing the same thing, or a variation of the same thing, most weeks. It's cold, I'm lazy and leggings and a t-shirt dress with a scarf suits my needs. I've got a pile of things from HM that I've never worn. I've bought them on sale with the best intentions and then they languish away never to see the light of What I Wore Wednesday. So today I dove into that exiled pile of loneliness head first and ended up with an outfit far from my norm.

Tiger Sweatshirt-HM

Jeggings-New Look

Slouchy Sweater Boots-Pineapple

Black Glasses-Vivienne Westwood

When I bought this sweatshirt it was totally because I'm a Cincinnati girl and huge Bengals fan and thought I could wear it to watch games. I sent pictures to some of my friends and cousins in Cincinnati who all were totally opposed to it but I kinda love it. Photo animal prints are super on trend right now in the UK but maybe just not so much in the US?

There is a photo of a tiger on each arm and it is super comfy. I think it's supposed to be 3/4 sleeves but on me it's just about full length. You can't tell but it is longer in the back so cover my butt which makes the jeggings slightly more acceptable.

Since I'm a shorty and curvy skinny jeans don't always really work on me but jeggings do. These ones have pockets so they aren't totally disgusting (I hope) and work really well when mid-calf boots. Like I said it is cold so I wear boots almost every day and these ones were a total bargain at TK Maxx.

Are you loving animal photo prints right now or loathing them?

Let's be friends! Find me here:

Melaina25 said...: Cute outfit! Isn't it great when you (re)discover something :); 12 February 2014 at 20:26
Melaina25 said...: I can totally relate to your feelings of laziness when it is cold outside. I just get tired of trying to put together creative, stylish outfits that are also warm enough! I can't relate to your pile of un-used clothes though--I am the sort of gal who wears that shiny new stuff right away, mostly because it's clean and I am out of clean stuff to wear ;) Love your tiger sleeves!
