A True Cheetah Print



 This week has been quite chilly and so I was finally able to wear my (new to me) vintage faux cheetah coat (a birthday present from my mom). We actually found it together this past summer while browsing one of my favorite antique / vintage shops in my hometown. The coat was too big for me but being that it is a true cheetah print (solid black spots) and only cost $60 we couldn't pass it up. Thankfully my seamstress, Teresa, was able to work her magic and now the length fits me perfectly... I plan to rock it all winter long!

So pretty! I found a vintage cheetah/leopard coat last year as well, but I haven't gotten it tailored yet. Can't wait to see this on your blog!

That is GORGEOUS. I've been wanting one like that for a while! Your comment about the leopard being a cheetah pattern reminded me. I posted about a leopard scarf once and a girl commented BLASTING me that it was NOT leopard and it was cheetah, haha. Good times. :)

That is a great coat! I found a similar one in one of Toronto vintage shops. I bought it last year and at that time they have got there another two for less than 200$. I recommend checking the availability of online stores, or you can contact stores directly. Their staff is always ready to help by knowledgeable advice.
