Who Needs a Jungle?

I had a hard time capturing how cute this top really is in a picture. Especially since the beginning of a ginormous headache was hiting me. I despise headaches that lay you out! Don't they understand that mommies just do not have the time for them??? My kids go into a weird panic mode when daddy says I am "off limits". They will find millions of ways to sneak into my room, truth is.....it warms my heart.

Back to the Animal Asymmetrical Ruffle Button Down Shirt (geesh that is a long name), I really love this top and it is a great substitute for J Crew's giraffe print that I missed out on. The material is polyester done right, it is really smooth and soft and it hangs really well!

CUTE top! I will totally have to check that one out. I love it in the yellow with the navy sweater like you've styled, but I am strangely drawn to the brown...

Another outfit done right! ;) I have the J.Crew Hayworh giraffe cami and love wearing it with a navy cardi too!! Speaking of, I must wear that cami again soon. =P

Glad to hear that your headache is better! You're right... those are the worst!!!

Sorry you are feeling crummy, but I love the outfit. I will have to check out the top next time I'm there...wish I had read this a few hours earlier, since I just go back from there.... :)

Hi Debye, I love your blog and love how you make fashion work into your life as a mom of boys!

I just bought the animal print ruffle blouse in the brown giraffe print. The chartreuse color is great on you. Anyway, it's a totally different type of top than I normally wear and not sure how the ruffle is supposed to lay. Do you find the ruffle annoying?

How would you suggest styling the brown print? I'm a stay at home mom of teens so my fashion style is typically casual. I'm thinking of pairing it with white pants, white jeans, brown shorts or brown capris or regular dark wash jeans.

I also bought the zebra print cardi -- I couldn't resist the 40% off sale at Loft this weekend! My family is going to think I've gone nuts with all these animal prints. I also bought the animal print cardi at Old Navy!
