Pinspiration: Leopard and Red

Remember when I blogged about Yasi over at Hello, Gorgeous! in this post? Well, for Christmas, my Dad and Barb saw that I had pinned one of her outfits on my Pinterest page. They actually bought me the pieces to make the outfit and included a print out of the Pinspiration, so that I could recreate the look! It was such a creative idea and I was so jealous that I didn’t think of it!

Enough talking! Let’s see the outfit! Here’s Yasi’s look:
