Once again, I've taken inspiration from one of my pins. I saw this picture and I knew I had to re-create this look:
It was a really simple look with a denim shirt and leopard print skirt. I used Vogue 8773, view A. I found the fabric at Hancock. It's a poly faux suede. I liked it because it has a nice texture and it has a slight amount of stretch. This skirt is unlined. I'm usually not a fan of unlined skirts or dresses, but this fabric was heavy enough for me to feel comfortable wearing.
I had to lengthen the skirt by 2 inches. And I cut 16, but it was so big at the waist that it was gaping in the back. And it was also a little boxy. I took in the waist and tapered it slightly. I didn't bother with the instructions... it's a princess seam pencil skirt
This is a great little pattern with endless fashion opportunities. I plan to make another one in basic black and not to mention the linen versions for Spring!

This really is a great look on you! And the shoes are fabulous.
Very nice, Erica!
Ohhhh, that is totally way hot on you! Rrrrrrrow! I just got back from seeing Puss In Boots...and YOU would be Kitty HOT Paws, hehe.
Sigh. It must be nice to have long legs...
I like your styling much better than the original photo's - your necklace in particular. As everyone has said, a great look for you.
love it.....I will have to try this princess seam skirt.....btw...love your heels too!
You look 100% better than the original. Head to toe flawlessness.
Totally HOT!
I love the outfit. The combination of the sexy skirt with the denim top is hot this season!
I love this, Erica! Brickhouse! I still need to get a pair of leopard/animal print pumps. I have on my Sam Edelman leopard ballet flats today.

Now I know what to do with the leopard fabric I just bought at A Fabric Place! Love the look!
Great look, luv the animal print paired with denim.
Outfit great. Shoes kicking, You go Girl!
TOO Cute! I look forward to the days where I can just shrug past the instructions......
And as an aside I love your hair. i am a natural as well, but no matter how much I twist, wrap, condition or style my hair doesn't take on a texture or styling as well as yours seems to in pictures. Can't wait to see what you make next!
This is also a fave look of mine (I first saw it some time ago at Jessica Quirk's blog http://whatiwore.tumblr.com, and saved the picture as inspiration).
You look perfect!
...and recreate the look, you did! I love your look! Great accessorizing!
Love the combination and the belt shifted to the side is super cute!
Love it!
So love the print. Great outfit and perfect fit.
Love the recreation of the look.
Thanks!
