{Similar Shirt, Jeans, Clutch, Heels}
Well I’m back in town and $30 lighter from, sadly, the penny slots. I didn’t dare to really gamble, because let’s be honest — I’ve got chump written all over me.
So I picked up these jeans at Target a few weeks back for $23 (yes for less than my Vegas loss). After seeing these in all of my magazines, I knew I had to find me a pair. Although completely smitten with the idea of wearing leopard print on over 60% of my body, I wasn’t convinced that I could pull them off. But for $20 (and a bag of Sour Patch Kids) I thought why not? I’ll try any trend for around $20. You can quote me on that.

Kendi, what lipstick are you wearing? I love it!
This look is insanely fabulous. Love the denim on leopard denim.
Way to work the leopard jeans! I was really hoping that with the leopard bottom jeans, you’d be wearing boots with the fur.

Looks great! I am loving that things that seemed to out of place before are falling beautifully in style.
I’m pretty sure I could never pull off those pants-but they look so great on you! I love the way you styles them too-by keeping the rest of your outfit simple. So fun!
Oh my gosh, Kendi!!! How crazy! I most definitely wore this same exact outfit yesterday! Leopard skinnies, denim shirt, and red michael kors heels! How funny! It makes me feel good about my style though, because you chose to wear it as well 🙂 love your blog- thanks for sharing! Check out mine if you have some time! I will be posting my twin outfit sometime soon!

So ever since I over-did the whole leopard print thing while being a “rebellious punk rocker” in high school, I never thought I could look at a pair of leopard print pants again without gaging. BUT you have broke the spell, I am now convinced that they can look amazing if done right 🙂 What a great look Kendi! <3

I like it! too bad about the penny slots 🙁 haha!
so jealous you found those at Target.. recently bought a pair that look similar that are Joe’s and were sadly not $23 :((
But I bet they are adorable, so money well spent. 🙂 I was just too much of a scaredy cat to try them out for much more than that.
I love your shirt. If there is a way you can ship me one from your shop can you email me at kbhigh2u(at)gmail(dot)com and let me know? Thanks!!!
I’m going to target for these tomorrow.
Ugh Kendi, quit spending my money, wudja?
Best,

These look just as magnificent as the Current Elliot pair! I may or may not NEED them.
Fabulous as always, Ms. Kendi! 🙂
I snagged them in both colors! They look fab on you.
I’m always saying I will try any fashion trend once. =) I’m not that adventurous, except with fashio!
Wow $23 thats a steal! Im glad you went for it they look super edgy!
lots of love from,www.eelsayasi.com
i don’t really gamble either…i know i would just lose all my dinero.
your outfit looks fabulous and you got a great deal on those pants!

I never could have guessed that those jeans would look so good! You styled them up perfectly!
I love this look. I’m with you, I love leopard and these jeans but I have a good pair of thighs and not sure I could pull them off….shame we don’t have Target in the UK…..might have to search Primark and the likes for a pair of these! x
I love the way your shoes match your lipstick, it looks great!
Great look! Love the denim shirt!

And you pull them off wonderfully! Great job – I love it with the chambray shirt & pops of colour.
I just picked up these leopard pants too! They are such a great deal. Love the way you styled them!
But you pulled them off flawlessly 🙂

http://angeladissected.blogspot.com/
Now I am going to have to go get them, I sat there staring at them yesterday going “should I” and now I am wasting even more time/money having to drive back to target.
You are rocking them, hope I will too soon!
http://www.behindtheleopardglasses.blogspot.com
I’ve been eyeing them myself, but I think I’m going to wait until they restock the candy colored ones instead.
Even though I got serious prejudices for leopard prints I should say that this combination looks great on you. Greets short let london
Yeahhhhh, I’m still not sure how I feel about printed denim, but I love your shoes!
XOwww.pearlsandpaws.blogspot.com
You are definitely wearing those jeans well! I love that you kept the top neutral, it keeps it nice and understated, and the shoes give the colour and added playfulness. It’s a tricky trend, and you’ve done it well.

I just saw these skinnies at Target the other day and was wondering how they fit…love that you paired them with chambray & the POC shoes! 🙂
Oh yeah! Bought mine 2 days ago! Great price!
You could pretty much rock anything, Kendi! Love the pants with the shoes!

I think you pulled it off quite nicely. Love the touch of the red shoes.
I love the leopard jeans and the clutch. I’m going to go to Target this weekend to try on a pair. Thanks for the styling inspiration!
You can pull off any trend no matter what it is and make it looked put together. Love it.

Those jeans are from target? I thought they were from current/elliot! Great find

i love this outfit! that was a $20 well invested! and i really like how you paired it with a lil pop of color on the heels and the lips!

Wowo! I saw these in Target and hanging on the rack they looked hideous, but you have styled them so well! I love it. I may go buy myself a pair now!
I LOVE them. I’ve never pictured myself in leopard print anything, but you really make me wanna try!
I actually adore this outfit! I would never picture myself in that much leopard either but I suddenly want to get everything you’re wearing in this outfit – you’ve convinced me it would look great!!
3rd time i’ve seen these jeans on the blogosphere this week…you win, of course!! <3

You really pull off the leopard well! Has anyone ever told you that you resemble Lauren Graham (Gilmore Girls and now Parenthood). You remind me of her character Lorelai too with your witty semantics. Or maybe I’ve just been watching too many reruns…???
Love the outfit and I gotta say, your hair looks great straight and at this length!
Love the outfit! And now I’m even more excited to receive my leopard print Target jeans in the mail (i bought both colors). 🙂
Those are from Target! Great find!

You are rocking those pants, girl! Love it!

you guys are so smart thinking of chambray! i never would have thought to pair that with the leopard! so cool.
You ARE perfection!
I saw those jeans in Target and hesitated. I think I might go back and snag them.

I’ll admit, I wouldn’t on any given day, wear leopard pants. But after seeing how you paired them with a bright shoe and made the outfit work, I’m reconsidering.
I saw these at Target too! They look super cute on you.

Looks great! Esp with those shoes!~
After seeing you pull off skinny leopard pants I am convinced there isn’t anything you can’t wear/do.
I’ve been seeing those awesome target jeans pop up all over the place, I wish I was lucky enough to get my hands on a pair!

aaw those cute jeans. Love leopard. i think i want to get one for me.
I love this look! Thanks for featuring budget-friendly options all the time.
I almost bought these the other day! I hesitated and now you’ve convinced me. Target, here I come.
I totally bought these jeans at Target too! I actually snagged them when I was swept up in all the Jason Wu madness that morning – I may have blacked out a little and just started grabbing anything within reach. They’re a way more affordable option than those Current Elliot ones I keep seeing everywhere. Love them on you!

http://editorialistyle.blogspot.com/
I remember seeing these in Target and thinking that there was no way I could make them work….
Yet you pull them off! How, Kendi? Seriously, you could make a brown paper bag work…which, really, I’m waiting for you to debut. Sometime soon, hopefully? 🙂
http://ofseedsandthorns.blogspot.com/
I just love your blog! You are so funny and pick out great outfits! Everytime i get my email saying you posted a new blog i get a little excited! Haha love it girl! Keep up the great work!
I will try any trend for Sour Patch Kids.

meeee oooooow. i’m a sour patch watermelon fan, myself.
I love your makeup in this picture, Kendi. And you pull off those pants pretty well!!!
http://fashionablygeeked.blogspot.com
Sour patch kids can a girl do crazy things! Lucky for you in worked your favor. I think you look cute.
When I read your title I automatically started sining “Leopard print bottoms. Boots with the fur.” LOL
When I read the title of this post, all I could think of is that rap song that has “Apple bottom jeans, boots with the fur (with the fur!)” in it. And then I started singing it with “leopard print jeans, boots with the fur (with the fur!).” I like your version better. Love this outfit!
fun pants and love your shoes!
So sassy and sweet! Not to bite your style but I’m totally going to flee now to Target and pick up a pair!
Money well spent.
You look beautiful! The jeans are fantastic!
http://www.thepursesnatcher.net
Go Target! Love the muted-ness. They actually look better than a (much more expensive) pair I recently saw at Urban. Rock it, girl!

The combination is soo beautiful. I love the shoes to the leopard jeans
I bought these, too, and LOVE them. Coincidentally, I wore them to Vegas. To a Motley Crue show. I fit in perfectly.
I saw those at Target and thought they were ridiculous and now I see them here and I want to buy them. Darn you Kendi!
Very cool outfit!
$20 – yes please. Those are super fun. Big fan. May have to get a pair…
where are your boots with da fur???
Hi,Kendi!
You’re in my blog today (photo)

Have a great weekend!
Your hair? Piece-y perfection.
Amazing jeans! I saw mango has a similar pair in their upcoming spring collection and I’ll definitely go and get them! <3
Ha, you are too funny…love the whole look!
Cheers from Germany!
I’m obsessed with these jeans!
these clothes look great on you ! I love this envelope bag, cute xx
I saw the same pair at Target Thursday and contemplated getting the gold(?) looking pair, but then talked myself out of it. And sure enough, as I drove home (an hour away from the nearest Target), I kicked myself for not buying them. Grrr! Now I have to hope my size is still available when I go back.
You know what, I think those pants are something I like on you but not me. I think you have to be skinny (like yourself) to wear spotted pants without feeling like you look like the animal the print is named for. Kuddos to you for having the figure to pull them off!!
I just bought those very jeans yesterday! I am going to style them with black platforms, a teal tank top, and a black puffy sleeve jacket. I love how you paired them with a denim shirt. I’ll try that for a casual day look.
I didn’t know Target has leopard jeans now. I’ve been looking for a relatively cheap pair. Very cute, especially paired with the chambray top!

$30 is not bad… I mean I went when I was 3 months away from 21… So I have yet to go and loose any money. (Unfortunately my Dad lost some money since he hosted my junior year Vegas shopping trip…) But those jeans, super adorable/totally-amazing! And I just plain love the red shoes. Mine are about 5 years old. That’s a good excuse to get some new ones that are in style right?!?!
so funny, just bought the same ones this morning with the exact same philosphy…. adorable!!!!
Nice! You look lovely! I do like the jeans shirt a lot!

Never really liked leopard print jeans, but these ones look great because they are toned down. I love how you paired them with the denim shirt.
I think that these could also be cute cuffed with some bright flats. I really like cuffing skinny pants.

You pull it off so well! The real question is, how did you feel in public?! I chicken out easily.
I feel out of the loop because I have never heard of your blog until today and I am so glad I found it because I love it! I am a fashion design student at FIT in NYC and am so tired of the same fashion blogs and you are a breath of fresh air and an instant new favorite. I will be following 🙂

GIRL. I have been reading your blog for a while now and this is the first time I’ve ever commented. This post epitomizes why you are my favorite fashion blogger (and I read a LOT of them). Five minutes ago I was reading Brooklyn Blonde’s NYFW post and was like “OMG, I HAVE THOSE JEANS.” Imagine how cool I felt, owning her jeans and not even knowing it. I was all “Yup, I’ve arrived. I don’t even have to run out and copy what the bloggers are doing…it’s all just ALREADY IN MY CLOSET.” Come to find out, her skinnies were Current Elliots that cost $198.
I couldn’t help but think “What a sucker.” Not me, HER. For paying such an outrageous price for jeans that I couldn’t distinguish from my own Target pair.
Five minutes later, I read your post on my blogroll and feel totally vindicated. There is nothing fashionable about an outfit that costs upward of $1000. ANYBODY can look good at that price. My true fashion icons are the ones who pull it together for less than the average yearly income of a man in Ghana. Thanks for rockin’ it and keepin’ it real, sista. You da bomb.
I love your blog and this outfit!! Saw those pants in target this past weekend and couldn’t think of a cute way to wear them and then i see your post!
