I’m crushing hard on animal print right now. Not sure why because I don’t own anything with animal print on it and I never used to like it, but for some reason that has changed overnight! I wouldn’t go cheetah head-to-toe, but a printed scarf or a pair of shoes I approve. These platform wedges by Jeffrey Campbell just won’t go out of my mind. The style is very reminiscient of a pair of Dolce & Gabbana wedges, but this isn’t why I’m so crazy about them. I love the cheetah print! I picture these with a ton of outfits in my head already. Bonus: they are currently on sale! Decisions, decisions…

So yesterday’s HotD was a red wedge and today’s red again. We also just did a trend report on animal print heels today and so I’m sitting there cruising Endless for their latest arrivals and woooosh totally freaking out upon the sight of these crazy high mary jane platforms by Jessica Simpson. Obsessed³
You know how I love a sky high platform heel. They’re not practical, not very wearable, prone to embarrassing wobbling and possible falling accidents, but I still heart a pretty platform above all. Even if it were just for posing or sitting in those 6 inch heels and feeling crazy sexy doing so. Which would be totally the case with these beauties. I admit I’m a little surprised to see Jessica Simpson’s line pumping out so many fab shoes (pleasantly though!). Somehow I doubt Jessica being involved very much in the designing process, but I guess she’s got a team of talented/clever designers who are certainly doing her homework and looking for inspiration on the runways. If red doesn’t tickle your fancy (Vahni, I’m talking to you
), these are also available in an equally gorgeous royal blue suede.

Animal prints. They can be a dangerous thing for women; nothing spells C-R-A-Z-Y like too much print on your person or in your house. But sometimes you can’t blame a girl for not being able to get enough, because all that tiger, and zebra, and cheetah…oh my! There’s just something about it that makes you feel exotic and wild.
Animal Print Heels – Designer Edition
You know here at InTheirCloset, we love you ladies, and we want to help all of you put your best foot forward. Especially one shod in a Wang Alla wedge—the only exception to the one print, one piece rule. Since prints are quite potent, the easiest way to ensure sartorial success is to limit that zip of zebra to your shoes. So we’ve rounded up the leaders of the designer pack, for your inspiration and fascination…
