I think one of my favorite things to do on the weekends is grab coffee with friends. There’s something about meeting at a cute little cafe and spending time chatting in person over a steaming mug of my favorite brew that really puts me in a good mood for the day. However,ย I don’t like using too much brain power early Saturday mornings, so one of my favorite pieces to wear is a leopard print purse, because it adds some pattern to an outfit without trying to hard.
Since I live so close to my favorite coffee shop, I always have this internal struggle when I get dressed to meet a friend for coffee. It’s like those movies where there’s an angel on one shoulder telling you to look cute cause it’s a blog shoot opportunity, but then the devil on the other side is whispering “sweatpants…where the sweatpants…” #thestruggleisreal LOL.
ย Last time I went for coffee, I was meeting up with a blogger who I had only met on Instagram (her handle is @allglamnofilter, so check her out!), and I knew I needed to look somewhat put together, so instead of dressing to the nines and doing my hair and makeup, I just decided to put together a casual look and add my leopard print Miche bag to give it a more sophisticated, “I actually put some thought in to this,” type of vibe. I love this leopard print purse in particular because it’s actually cool toned, which fits my style much more than your usual warm toned print. I’ve linked some cool toned leopard print bags that I love in the widget, so shop away! ๐

Love the comfy, casual look. It can look just as put together and chic as a high-maintenance outfit. Well done!

That is such a cute outfit!! The struggle is real though when it comes to figuring out if you want to be cute or wear sweat pants. Been there so many times!! I enjoy both coffee and tea.

Haha right?! I’m glad someone understands me ๐

I really do like the casual outfit. I’ll be honest, I am not one for too many structured purses so I tend to stay away. However, this looks great with the outfit. I am going to check out your IG now.
