Last weekend I attended the Makeup and Martinis Chicago. I wore the red snakeskin print blouse I thrifted in Ohio for about $.65. I love animal print but this is my first snakeskin print. It's also nipped in the waist peplum style which I lovecg.
I paired it with my thrifted velvet Banana Republic pants. They're wide legged and extremely long. My goal is to shorten and make them more of a straight leg.
The belt is an old thrifted item that I adore. I wear it all the time. I brought it out because I was feeling a bit Christmas-y with just the red and black. Coincidently, there was a vendor at the event who was going and on about people wearing too much animal print. Is there such a thing?

I can't believe that top was only 65 cent!!! Aweome purchase! You looked fab too :-)
Umm that vendor is so wrong lol! You can never wear enough leopard print lol! Your blouse is so gorgeous! And for $0.65 thats my kind of deal! I love the accent of the belt...the whole outfit is superb! I thrifted a whole bunch of items for $0.26 each once! It was amazing to say the least.

Is it wrong of me to say that with your exotic great looks you can get away with a lot of stuff that on other women would look disco-y or old lady like?
I marvel at your great style!
@Jenny thanks! I'll check it out.
@Style4Curves thanks! $3 is my normal max price for a thrifted item. Following your style now.
@Ellen Stewart (aka Ellie/El/e/Mrs. Seaman) Exotic? thanks, I think. :)
I think confidence is all that's really needed to pull off any look.
Love the look! The top reminds me of a black and red Marc Jacobs snakeskin blouse I wanted. I couldn't justifiy the price tag, but sixty-five cents? Wow!
Now that, my girl, is my kind of shopping!!! 65 cents!!!! Wow!! I love, love, love this top & the pants! Red and black looks awesome on you!
@jeanofalltrades it was practically free. I love it!
@~ Daisha thank you!
