Ladies and gentlemen! Allow me to introduce you to my new favorite animal print. These leggings made their way into my closet a couple of months ago, and I’ve only worn them about half a bazillion times so far. Leopard print generally gets a fair amount of play in my wardrobe, but as these comfy pants have proven to me, giraffe is just as versatile and a bit less expected.

I actually wore a more refined version of this very same outfit on New Year’s Eve this year. I simply ditched the denim shirt and threw a black tank on in its place.

P.S. The leggings were already sold out online when I bought them in the store a month or two ago. So check your own brick-and-mortar Madewell if you’re hoping to nab yourself a pair.
