The holidays getting closer means that I start getting bombarded from sale e-mails from stores. This is great when I have gifts to buy, but less great when I’m tempted to buy things for me and not other people! I just always seem to find something that I love and must have.

That’s exactly what happened with this jacket. It’s no secret that I love leopard print – I consider it a neutral. So when I came across this leopard print BB Dakota jacket, I knew that I had to add it to my wardrobe. I actually have a few other suede jackets by BB Dakota in different colors, and I love them for the fall and winter – they add more style to an outfit than a typical cardigan does. The leopard print version just takes that up another level!

I brought this with me to DC, and it was perfect for walking around the city (though I definitely wish I had worn tights!). It was warm enough for outside, but not so hot that I had to take it off when I went inside for dinner. And I just felt like it really made a simple black t-shirt dress so much more stylish! It would also be great with a pair of jeans and a white t-shirt, too.

It’s on sale right now – well under $100! It’s perfect as a gift, or as a gift for yourself – it’d look great at a holiday party. I know that it’ll make an appearance in my outfits lots of times in the next month!
