i think i must have this j crew cardi

tara t · Marc Jacobs

i love the whole thing too. i have a leopard cardi i got from ann taylor a few years ago, and it gets way more wear than i thought it would... in fact, i may need this one to replace it!

pollyjean23 · Marc Jacobs

I like how the tone of it is a little lighter than your typical leopard print.

atlgirl · Gucci

I know...I love this, too. I like animal print in moderation - I have a pair of shoes and a pair of gloves in leopard. And I recently bought the ATL leopard cardi that we discussed here a while back - I wear it quite a bit. I just don't *love* the price of this J Crew one. But I know it will probably sell out before it goes on sale, darn them!

LoMish · Kate Spade

I love that cardi too. Unfortunately, there are way too many things at Jcrew that I love right now and my poor wallet can't afford them :(

I like how this outfit is put together too!

AllieGurl · Marc Jacobs

I like the outfit, it is funky and eclectic and kinda vintage! If you wore it with some platform heels it would look awesome!

chicteacher · BCBG

I love that entire outfit.

rlutz · Chanel

I also lovethat entire outfit...I have a leopard cardi and it is a lot more versatile then you would expect

sydney · Kate Spade

Love the outfit - especially w the yellow jeans!

Kitty · Hermes

i like that outfit on the model, but I feel like if I tried to wear it I would look like an idiot.

I agree - but maybe it's pulling off the jeans that's throwing me off. I do like the cardi though and the colors are kind of unexpected and fresh.

Yeah i wonder that too. i think i really like the color of the jeans with it though. i guess i will have to just try it on. thanks everyone!

I love the whole outfit!

This is the problem I have with J Crew.

I looove J Crew but their styling drives me crazy. Their stylists are really good because I always fall in love with outfits or pieces and buy them but when I get them home I feel like Rainbow Brite or a lady who lunches.

Leopard print and yellow jeans look good in the catalog but what about IRL?

If the yellow jeans intimidate you - then intepret the style your way - go with a bright yellow tank underneath the cardi, with either jeans or a khaki skirt or pant. I have that same cardi from several seasons ago from Jcrew and I've worn it with electric yellow. I love mixing in a bright piece with an otherwise nuetral palette

dangergirl · Kate Spade

i can't see the picture

TheLovelyLady71 · Hermes

I aslo LIKE the outfit, it has a funky/eclectic vibe. I'm like most of you, I do animal print in MODERATION.......

blubirde · Chanel

I can't do animal print. I know it's fake and all but I feel like a barbarian wearing it. Although I'll happily slap on a leather bag, so I'm a total fraudster really. But the JCrew outfit reminds me of a BR outfit from a couple of years ago. It mixed animal print and yellow and I loved it. It was such a great look (I "suggested" a friend buy it so I could admire it on her).

If you don't like the bright pants, you could try a skirt or perhaps trousers, as opposed to jeans. IMO colored pants look way less outrageous than colored jeans.

Or you could just do like someone else suggested and put pieces of the color in your outfit (purse, shoes, jewelry, scarf, etc. - although not all at once) and keep the rest of the outfit neutral.

Love. All of it. Especially the cardi.
