Inner leopard

the_inner_leopard_0




It's strange how you can start loving something that you previously hated. The

opposite is always a possibility too, of course. A heartbreaking and paintful one,

but still a possibility.

Still, it's normal that life changes. And that it changes you.

More often than not we acknowledge change, and then we make the choice

between embracing or rejecting it.

Yet when the changes come creeping in slowly and gradually and you start noticing

them only when they are already firmly implanted in your soul that is really when

things become inevitable.

My love for leopard is inescapable. My love for the truth is inflexible. The changes

in me are binding. Binds that start to look more and more like a bondage suit that

constricts my actions and blurs the line between love and hate. But to try and fight

these changes would be not only dangerous for my state of mind, but ultimately

futile.

Is my love for leopard here to stay? Will it rapidly switch to an adoration for reptile print

with the coming of the new season?

Time will tell. Until then . .

Embrace change, it's the lesser of two evils.

And don't forget: things are really not what they seem to be.

Now go put on a pair of neon heels, dye your hair purple, go wild on leopard if that

is what you wish to do, but, above all, ignore the squeaky voice of society and be

who you are meant to be.

things lately, so bear with me :)

Can your outfits be more incredible than that?! Awesome!!! I have the same "issue" with animal print but I think it's here to stay. And changes do creep their way into your heart and you kind of end up being the last to know, before long you have to embrace them or lose your mind.- I guess what I mean is that I get it!:)

I love the way you click your pictures.
Your jacket is to die for.

mispapelicos said...

I like very much animal print in others, but it is a no, no for me.
I keep instead your cluch, wonderful, ahhhhhhhhhhhhh; your pendant.
And that fantastic jacket covered in safety pins.
You are fabulous beyond words my dear Ioana.
Have a superb weekend.

Awesome post!
It's so true, what you wrote about change. Sometimes it's really good and even refreshing!
As for things that we previously disliked and now love, I have the same thing with..the color yellow! :)

Have e lovely weekend!

I'm getting married in 2 weeks, and it's a weekend of festivities that involve 2 leopard outfits. 1 is a suit, for the courthouse, and the other is a halter dress with a circle skirt.

As I said on Facebook earlier this year, in my world leopard print IS a neutral.

Andrés Corella said...

I also love leopard (or any kind of animal print for that matter) I like how it looks with the blazer which btw is gorgeous...and the clutch is beautiful! I also must say I really like the way you write I find it very much inspiring

Outfitstalker said...

I couldn't said it better. If someone was telling me a year and a half ago that i will not only like it, but also wear animal print, i would found it hilarious, and now...I'm loving it!
Regarding this mention: "ignore the squeaky voice of society and be who you are meant to be" I'm only going to say : AMEN SISTER!!!
Keep up the good work, as you are a real Inspiration

change is always welcome,especially in a world were we are constricted to wearing uniforms. Plus, the idea with leopard has disgusted me for years, but now it's the most awesome thing I'd like to wear at any time of the day (in all sorts of mixes).

Fantastic Post and you are right about the changes creeping up on you and suddenly you seem like a different person.

I like leopard and snake prints, although only as accessoires. Well, that's what I'm saying now. We'll see what I'll like in a season or two.

Love your blog.
