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!
