I love pairing red and leopard, and feel like this cardigan constitutes a shortcut. I pondered doing chunky, tough boots but in the end, sleek, ladylike boots just worked better.
The tattoo brings my matchy-mattchiness to a whole new level, don’tcha think?
Even if this outfit skewed more ladylike, I’ll get my badass on in a couple of hours. I’m off to Samantha Rei’s solo show at Hell’s Kitchen and will be wearing my black leather dress and a borrowed necklace from Bionic Unicorn. Rawr.

The matchy-matchy tattoo definitely brings the outfit to a new level of matchy!
Rar! You look absolutely classic in this, Sal. LOVE the red leopard – may I add you to the Leopard Lovers for Leopard Week?
Of course! I’d be honored. 😉
That cardi is so perfect. I wish I had one myself!
Speechless!!! LOVE IT!!!
You look fabulous in red!
You absolutely OWN the color red. Fabulous!
You look beautiful – you really glow in red. Have fun!
Absolutely fantastic. You look gorgeous, and the matching tattoo does indeed take it to another level!
Your looks always inspire me, so I don’t often comment, but today’s look makes me say WOW! You look great in red!
This is the best outfit I’ve seen in weeks! I LOVE the sweater – I love the way it coordinates with the dress – and it’s PERFECT with the tattoo. Excellent styling Sally.
So much love for this outfit! And so much envy that you’re going to Samantha’s show! If only I didn’t feel like my body was composed of phlegm…
Not to pester, but I’d love to know where you do your best thrifting in the Twin Cities. You find the most gorgeous items!
Hey lady! Most of my haunts are at the end of this post: https://alreadypretty.com/2010/08/repost-reader-request-thrift-tips.html
Omitted is Valu Thrift in Sun Ray on 94 outside St. Paul. That place is a goldmine.
But the cardigan was thrifted in Chicago!
I am usually a lurker, but I must comment: this is one of your best outfits ever! That is a terrific color on you!
You are a vision in red and black! Love your matchiness with the tattoo!
Absolutely adorable look!
AMAZING cardigan!

Black leather dress? Shall this be posted? I hope so, because I’m kind of in love with the idea of such a thing. My inner badass is flailing around madly.
For sure! Might not get ’em up for a few days, but will definitely post. Besides the dress, you all MUST see this necklace. It was insanely gorgeous.
Love it!
It’s Red & Black day here in New Zealand! http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10709932
Hey,
I dont know if you know but here in New Zealand we had a pretty bad earthquake in Christchurch, and today the whole country was urged to red and black (their sports colours in Christchurch) in support. So your outfit couldn’t have been better if you planned it! Love it!
Ooh red leopard print! Love the outfit – classy, sophisticated and with an edge of rock ‘n’ roll. What’s not to like?!
And that cardigan is just the perfect length too – I have so much trouble finding hits-just-below-the-waist cardigans.

That is the best leopord outfit I have ever seen.

Red + leopard = great.
Red leopard = greater.
