High + Low: The Leopard Clutch
I've been trying to introduce a little more animal print into my wardrobe, but the idea of wearing a printed top or dress has me feeling skittish at times. It's a lot of (very bold) print! A thin leopard belt is pretty much my extent of walking on the wild side. Taking a look into accessories, I found a great compromise; the leopard print clutch. It can add so much to a simple outfit. So the search began for the perfect, affordable clutch. I love this Invitation Clutch from J.Crew, but at $448, it's far too expensive. The total of my five low finds is under $400, which sounds a lot better!
Invitation clutch in printed calf hair $448 - J.Crew | Large foldover leather clutch $75 - Etsy | Leopard calf hair clutch $89 - Etsy | Leopard flat clutch $165 - Clare Vivier
(Also, some cute and very inexpensive faux Etsy finds for $22 and $45.)
Remember, if there are any highs you'd like some alternative lows for, just leave a comment and it may be a future High + Low post!

I think the word you want is "skittish."
p.s. I ♥ the clare vivier one
Esb: Ha! Thank you for catching that! I did this post on my phone and both 'skittish' and 'skiddish' are recognized in dictionary—from my use of describing someone as 'pip skiddish'—so when I made the mistake, it didn't correct me. (Pip Skid is a Canadian rapper from my home province.)
oh, why these high prize pieces are always most beautiful??
Hi there!
Thank you so much for including my leopard 'Ashleigh' clutch from my Etsy shop! Mine is the one that's $45. You can check out how many ladies have worn it on my Facebook page (http://facebook.com/LoveCortnie).
I'm the same way with leopard. No articles of clothing are leopard print, but I have ventured into getting a leopard print scarf and skinny belt. They happen to be some of my favorites now. The 'Ashleigh' clutch is a top seller!
