Discussion: Leopard print is in for fall!

You may still be living in a helter skelter of a sweltering summer, but soon fall will be upon us!  We'll have to bid farewell to our open toe sandals.  Say 'adieu!' to our summer frocks.  And kiss goodbye the vibrant summer colors.  Ah, how I wish to say, "Rest in temporary peace air conditioner!  May you not increase my electricity bill 2-fold until next summer!"

What's in for fall 2011?  Animal prints!  More specifically, LEOPARD print (see what I did there?).  Just check out the new arrivals at Piperlime.  If you're like me, you don't want to be covered in huge chunks of leopard.  A great way to follow the trend is by adding little accents of leopard into your wardrobe.  For example, leopard print shoes!  Here are some of my Shoe-Doctor-approved recommendations:
