This spring, look for animal prints in all styles, shapes and sizes.  Every fashion diva needs at least one animal print item in her wardrobe.  Whether its a zebra-lined jacket, leopard scarf or a cheetah-inspired wallet, jungle is always in.  The key is to not wear all your animal prints at once.  Animal prints are also great for the recessionista who just wants to punch up her style without breaking the bank.  Combine your sassy black dress with a leopard scarf or bracelet, and add a red purse to a jungle-themed dress.

Animal prints add an exotic flair to any fashion wardrobe and generally look great on everyone.  From sassy silk blouses/dresses to spotted purses, the animal in you is dying to escape.  Invest in great pieces that will work seamlessly through the seasons without breaking the bank.  For those of you who are reluctant to jump into the jungle, start small with accessories or dresses with subtle jungle patterned prints.  For those of you who want to embrace the animal inside of you, go wild with pumps, dresses, skirts and whatever else suits your fancy.  Just remember not to mix jungle patterns. 

Here are a few animal prints from local DC-based fashion boutique, Boutiquemix.com.  These will definitely add some zest to your fashion life.
