guys, it’s becoming a problem. the amount of animal print i’ve added to my closet recently is staggering. but i just. can’t. stop. the latest addition to the animal kingdom that is my closet is a slip dress. unfortunately my recent nordstrom anniversary purchase of this leopard number was cancelled (and it has since sold out, womp womp), so i took it as an opportunity to find a viable alternative. what i came up with is this slip dress in a snakeskin print from –wait for it —target.

of course, target does it again. the midi dress is from the wild fable line and it retails for just $28! i’m wearing a small and i’d say it fits TTS -it’s a column silhouette and to be honest, i do wish it had a slit to make walking in it a tad bit easier. for that reason, i’m not 100% sure i’ll be keeping it, but in the very least this styling session definitely proved that my wardrobe is lacking an effortless slip dress silhouette. i also ordered this leopard midi (that DOES have a slit) to compare. i’ll report back if it’s a winner!

today i’m teaming up with two of my favorite fashion bloggers –and more importantly, real life friends, conni (@artinthefind) and natalie (@natalieborton) to showcase how we style an animal print slip dress for the last moments of summer and into fall. i’ve curated five different looks -three to wear now and two to consider as we move into cooler weather. everything is linked below as well as on the liketoknow.it app if that’s your preferred method to peruse/shop. a speedy video will be up later today on my IGTV channel.

p.s. per usual, i’m wearing natalie borton earrings in every outfit. be sure you mark your calendars because NEW pieces land in her shop on august 1st!
