ON THE WILD SIDE

on-the-wild-side

Animal print has long been a style staple in my wardrobe. I vividly remember the first time I chose to purchase something of the like. It was 2001, my sophomore year of high school, and I donned a strapless, floor length Jessica McClintock tiger print dress to homecoming that year.

NOT). I was dealing with all of the usual nerves that tend to present themselves when navigating a pretty big life transition, but more than anything I felt excited.
