Some days you just want to wear something fun, am I right? And what could be more fun than pairing bright blue with a touch of leopard? I actually have several outfits pinned on my Pinterest board that have cobalt and leopard but it just occurred to me to wear my cobalt blazer with my leopard belt. Crazy, huh?
Anyway, the black top and bottom basically form a blank canvas to show off the accessories and the blazer. And I thought about wearing my leopard heels but, in the end, decided to go with the plain black to draw the attention up instead of down.
Don’t have a reason or don’t want to wear a black skirt? Try this outfit with black jeans or black dress pants. Don’t have a blue blazer? What about a blue sweater or cardigan? Make it your own with what you have!
P.S. Did you find yourself lusting after a bubble necklace after yesterday’s Gift Guide post? I’m actually giving one away over at Frills for Thrills! There are some other great items up for grabs, too.

Right now I’m pretty happy with my closet. But even so there are days when I stand there and stare at all the hangers and think, “I wish I had….”
I’ve had all of these clothing pieces in my closet for a long time. I keep wavering on whether or not to keep the cardigan and then it keeps staying. 
Pairing the fancy sequined skirt with a neutral colored cardigan and nude heels helps keep it from being too bling-y or overwhelming.
The fact that I paired two pieces that could be considered slightly casual but added heels and a blazer makes my outfit work appropriate without being traditional.
I LOVE This. I want to get a little leopard belt like that!
$17 at Target!
I love the all black, head to toe base. So chic!
Thanks! All black as a base is so fun to use when you want to wear something a little more “out there” on top.
I like how the necklace is a little bit different shade of blue than the jacket! Fun! It really shows off in the first pic
And don’t you love how I managed to mirror the blues by finding a background with some blue in it? Or is that just me that thinks that’s cool?
I was actually going to comment on how I thought the background of your photo really complemented your outfit well, so no, it’s not just you
Hahah, good
Lookin’ good! I totally agree, going with the black pumps does bring attention up to the leopard belt and blue blazer.
Sometimes less is more, right?
I love love LOVE this. This is actually one of my most favorite looks that you’ve posted, EVER. I just bought a leopard-print scarf but now I need to get myself an animal-print belt, too!!! It’s the perfect accessory!
That belt is the best $17 I’ve ever spent. I wear it all the time!
I really like black and blue together, it’s such an eye catching color combination and always looks so sleek. I love just the one touch of leopard print, that was a good choice to go with the belt rather than the shoes, it’s really cohesive looking, black tights and black heels always looks so sleek!
Wow, my brain is running on empty tonight. I just realized I basically repeated myself in the first and last sentence. I guess I’ll go with “I really like the bright blue and black, and now I want a blue blazer!”
You crack me up! Glad you liked the outfit
