Leopard Trend: Leopard prints are everywhere for Fall and one of the best ways to elevate your everyday style. I have always had leopard print in my wardrobe. It’s a pattern that you can have fun with and a little touch can add interest & playfulness to your outfit. Animal prints have long been a wardrobe staple for stylish woman, but get ready to see this trend really take off. 

I love that this year it is a huge trend and showing up in a BIG way from jackets to handbags. You really can’t go wrong with adding a little bit of leopard to your wardrobe. I like to think of leopard as a neutral and it is a print that never really goes out of style… You can mix it with patterns and have fun with it! It’s not just a pattern to wear with black or brown, mix it up, play with the print, try it with a plaid, denim and even lace like I have shown. Go ahead, give leopard a try!

Enjoy your week and remember, if you need outfit advice or help with a outfit leave a comment below and all be happy to help you out! OX, D’Arcy.

PS: Do you love leopard print?

Here are some of my favorite way’s to play with this on trend print & some of my favorite pieces to purchase:

Are you a New Year’s Goal setter? Or Do you have a Are you a New Year’s Goal setter? Or Do you have a word? Maybe you just wing it??

I do have goals, but mine aren’t a yearly driven task, I’ve even done the word for the year, several times.
I write down what I would like to accomplish, and even new habits I’d like to try and achieve but what I’ve found in my life that really works, and I’ve found helps me achieve more, feel at peace and yet driven at the same time is…

-Asking my  Lord and savior to define my priorities.
-My Time, My work balance, my relationships etc.

-Ask Him to show me where to focus my energies, what & where to let go, and where I am pursuing a goal for the wrong motive.

I’ve found It’s better to have a few goals that honor God than a bunch of them driven by selfish ambition.🙏🏻

I am more at peace, my direction is clearer, life balance is best and my priorities are clearer, which naturally makes work, life and love easier🙏🏻

Trust in his path & goals for you, as it will always work out with you achieving 🙏🏻

💙⬇️Tell me in the comments what is something you’re praying for or wanting to achieve this year?
