Love or Loathe: Animal Print

Animal print in fashion, to me, is like a zebra print rug in a home. Terribly tacky, until someone fabulous does it and makes it look stunning. Then I want one.

When it makes its way through all our friends, we'll have a great collection of comments.

Just click with you want a better view of these horrors committed to fabric and friendship.
Note to brides: It is unfair to make your sisters, cousins, and b…
