Hi I am Valerie Rippetoe with Marsha's Wardrobe Consulting I am showing you how to update your Spring wardrobe. Our next look is animal print. Animal print is officially a classic, we have seen animal print for about the last 18 years, it's not a fact, it's a trend, its here to stay. So we have our model Pam and she is wearing a dropped jacket it is an embossed python leather piece and it is a definitely a statement. Pam besides for being an hourglass shape, she is also dramatic. So this fits her personality perfectly.

We have paired it with a great gold scarf and as kind of a surprise look we have put it with the white jeans. Leather tends to be a great transitional piece. If you are not ready for an investment piece like this python jacket and all this animal print, a great way to bring in into your closet with your classic pieces, is with a great hand bag.

Hand bags are very important for Spring Summer and this is a dynamite one. It is going to work back with all your neutral so you can wear it with your brown, you blacks, your navies and it doesn't really not what else you are wearing because it is all about this purse, it's trimmed in animal print, the handle has animal print, the zipper has the animal print trimming all around the outside, it would work back great with your navies, your chocolates, your black and when it matter--what else you are wearing because it is the piece that everyone is looking at.

What I am going to do is show you two more animal prints and we are going to start off with this great V neck very classic sweater and it is inlaid and actually it's not two pieces its one piece, its Charmeuse silk animal print set in, so it looks like a blouse under a sweater with pro details. It's a touch of the animal print without it being a whole jacket.

Our second look is this beautiful halter, love this halter because you could take it under any black suit that you own and keep the jacket on during work and then go to for evening with your black slacks or a black skirt. So that's how we update your wardrobe with animal print. Out next look is the classic trench coat.
