Some of my favorite pieces from summer were off-the-shoulder and cold shoulder dresses; I still want to wear them now that the temperature has finally dropped in Dallas, so I'm pairing them with a leather jacket to make the transition! This black cut-out shoulder dress by Askari has been one of my favorites lately (you know I love black dresses) since it is so easy to throw them on with anything for any occasion.

By adding this burgundy leather jacket and my favorite burgundy lace-up shoes, I'm adding visual interest to the outfit and including a pop of leopard print to complete the look. Adding animal print is a great way to add pattern to an outfit while still using neutral colors that don't interfere with the other pieces.
