Ya girl is the self-proclaimed biggest fan of the library to ever walk the earth 🌍 Okay, that could be an exaggeration, but most of the time it doesn’t feel like one. I cried with happiness over my first library card as a kid, and I won’t purchase a book until I’ve borrowed it from the library and loved it enough to own it. I have 5 library cards, swear by Libby and Hoopla for all of my audiobooks and ebooks, and at this point, I feel like an Arthur tattoo might be necessary (IYKYK) 😂

But I digress... February is National Library Lovers’ Month, and I think you should get a library card (or 5) and celebrate not only the perk of FREE BOOKS but also the countless ways public libraries are integral to our lives and communities! 🙌🏼

How to Dress Up Cheetah Print for Fall

Cheetah print has a reputation for being flirty and fun, but did you know it’s equally classy and sophisticated?

During the autumn season, I find myself reaching for more leopard and cheetah prints than at any other time of year. Maybe it’s because they’re made with darker colors or maybe it’s just a fun print – but either way, I love to find opportunities to dress them up!

This cheetah print midi skirt is an excellent item to have because it can be worn in many different ways. While I could easily pair it with a graphic tee, leather jacket, and sneakers – I wanted to show how it would be appropriate for the office or for a nice date night as well!


shop the look
cheetah print midi skirt c/o Chicwish | black turtleneck | black loafers | similar quilted crossbody bag | similar gold layered necklace

The easiest way to keep cheetah print looking chic is to stay simple.

Pair the wild pattern with tones that are similar or the same. I chose black because it’s practically foolproof. I tucked a classic black turtleneck into the skirt and wore a pair of black loafers. This outfit is nothing extraordinary, but it’s timeless and comfortable. Since the skirt is calf-length, and I chose close-toed shoes and a higher-neck top, it’s totally appropriate for the office. It’s also great for a nicer date night. If you’re wanting to dress it up even further, swap the flats for a patent pump and you’re sure to impress!

If you thought cheetah print couldn’t be classy, hopefully, I’ve changed your mind!

I LOVE leopard print and always have done! I definitely agree that it needs to go with neutral colours and understated accessories – let the leopard print do the talking. I would definitely wear the skirt (probably with a beige roll neck and chunky boots)! Becca x

I think a cheetah print is really well suited for fall! It’s dark, but not SUPER dark – it’s the perfect thing to add a bit of brightness to this outfit that you have styled so well 😍 I adore this skirt length too! I’m also so jealous that tiny 5ft me can’t wear skirts like this 😩

I love this! I used to think animal prints were tacky but then I saw all the great ways they can be styled and I love them. I have a cheetah print tank top that I’m thinking I will adjust for fall – maybe with jeans or black pants and a black cardigan. I also have a white leopard print skirt about this length so I could do something very similar to your look!

I agree, the Cheetah print midi is so versatile. I purchased one summer last year. Wore it with a tank in summer, threw on a cardi in fall & then a long sleeve or a leather jacket in winter. Such a great skirt.

Interesting! I actually thought that cheetah print was more of a polka dot while leopards had the circular pattern with dots inside? Either way, SUPER cute skirt and GREAT styling ideas! I’ve only ever worn this print on my shoes and have never gone all-out with a skirt but you’re really inspiring me!
