leopard coat
February 3rd, 2012
I am not an animal print wearer, but when I saw this amazing look and posted it recently, I was smitten!
I searched the web to find that there were no more Malene Birger coats available…(super sad face). I scoured the web in search of a “knock-off” to no avail…
BUT…as I was making a quick run to the mall on Saturday to pick up a couple of things at Sephora, a leopard coat caught my eye hanging in Forever 21‘s window. I just knew that when I touched it, I wouldn’t want a thing to do with it, but I was blown away at how soft and expensive the fabric felt!
OK…it’s not exactly like the Malene Birger version, but it’s very close for $62! I always buy a size bigger at Forever 21 because I find that things are cut smaller there, so please keep that in mind if you decide to order. Since I bought a size bigger, I plan to have it tailored so it will fit closer to my original version and it’s actually longer on me than it shows on this model. You won’t be disappointed. Find it online here.
Now if we could just have a little cold weather here in Texas I might get to wear it this year!
Would you wear this much leopard?
