Like I said yesterday, the faux fur is officially out of hibernation and the first order of business: this leopard coat that I scored on major sale last winter.  You know I’m no stranger to leopard, but somehow I manage to be simultaneously in love and intimidated with this coat.  It’s a little ostentatious, but hey, when in NYC — anything goes.

To avoid going from good to gaudy, I kept the rest of my outfit relatively relaxed.  A light polka dot blouse adds a subtle mixed print flare, but skinny pants and neutral accessories let the showstopper speak for itself.

So great, in fact, that I’m teaming up with my ladies over at Lipstick Rose to give away the same Red Riding Bangle that I’m wearing in this outfit.  Enter to win below!  The contest ends on Thursday at 11:59 PM.
