The Concerns Of Mindy Kaling: Things I Bought That I Love: BCBG Leopard Pencil Skirt

I can’t believe it. It finally happened. I now live in a world where leopard print can be considered a “basic”. Yes, it was exciting when gold shoes became a staple, and who could forget when even the most conservatively dressed woman owned a pair of fitted red pants? But finding leopard print in…

I agree wholeheartedly, Mindy Kaling. About everything you said. I too bought a winter formal dress from Cache (Burlington Mall or Copley, please!), even though I was told by my friends that I looked like a “ridiculous mess” (I was, in my own mind and perhaps in reality, a high school fashion legend). 

However, my love of leopard print came long before the Kardashians made it acceptable as a day-to-day print. It came from Madonna, who in an early 90s interview on Nickelodeon, cited “leopard print” as her favorite color.

That was, for me, the earliest memory I have of not being wrong despite the criticism of my townie-ass peers.

Wear your leopard print bravely forever. It will, unlike giraffe and zebra print, never be out of style.
