Mixing in a little green snakeskin to my animal print-based wardrobe.
If you’ve guessed that I’m completely head over heels in love with animal print, you’d be right. I’ve got jackets, boots, leggings, sweatshirts, blousesâ and now I’ve got a cute green snakeskin boho dress that works for the colder months. (Well, the above-freezing colder months, that is. Not sure bare legs is smart in the middle of an arctic blast.)
This dress was a super affordable score. Under $30 for a cute go-anywhere animal print number? I’m all ears. I belted it here to give it a bit more shape and paired it with a set of (super old, almost vintage) Michael Kors boots.
Shop the look:
These boots were one of my first designer purchases. I saw them on Jessica Simpson (back in the day when Jessica was a major It Girl; any Nick and Jessica fans here?) in a pap shot of her shopping in NYC and immediately fell in love. This was before the days when celebs tagged their brands or there were hundreds of sites dedicated to identifying celebrity outfits, so hunting down the exact brand of boot was a task.
When I finally found ’em, my jaw dropped at their $800 price tag. I scrimped and pinched until I had enough, ordered them, and then wore them literally everywhere. They were a key feature in most of my fall and winter bar outfits in the late aughts, that’s for sure.
Linking up with Curly Crafty Mom + Doused in Pink, Elegance & Mommyhood, Nancyâs Fashion Style, A Pocketful of Polka Dots, Shelbee on the Edge, and Away from the Blue.
So in love with the color and print of this dress! The brown accessories look amazing with it.

I had to break these boots out of the archive and the belt was perfect to wear with ’em! ๐
I’m obsessed with that snakeskin piece – I love the green shades and the light, flowy feel that it has. So killer!

Snakeskin everything, please and thank you! Happy Friday, Courtney!
Your dress is gorgeous! I’m loving the color of the snakeskin print!

It’s such a cool shade of green, right? I couldn’t resist it!
I came here a minute ago and suddenly realized that I’m smiling widely. That’s the effect you have on us. You spread joy. Thank you for that.
I love good boots and these are wonderful. Like you, I discovered a Jessica Simpson item a decade ago and have been wearing it ever since. We both have good taste!
Aww, you are too kind, my friend! And Jessica Simpson was seriously such a style icon for me in the early aughts!
Under $30 really is a deal. I like that you added that brown braided belt to really tie in the boots.
I had to reign in the waist just a bit, although wearing it without a belt would prob be best for post-holiday meals ๐
Wow, this animal print dress is gorgeous! I love that it is in green. The price is perfect too!

Yes ma’am! I’m obsessed with it, too!
Oh yes snakeskin is fun and love the green version here and I love that there is a longer dress option as I don’t wear short dresses all that much. And it looks great with the MK boots. Such an effortlessly chic look lady!

So glad you like it, sister!
I can’t believe the price on that dress! It’s fabulous and such a great color on you. And yes, I remember the olden days of the struggle to find out EXACTLY what a celeb was wearing! LOL.
Right? You would end up hunting for weeks and weeks, waiting for someone or like People.com to identify what the celeb was wearing, haha!
Get it girl! Obsessed with the color of this dress, and of course loving the price <3

Chicken of the Sea! I loved watching the Jessica Simpson show with her (then) husband, she was such a riot.
Those boots are great! Good for you for saving for them and not just putting them on a credit card! I’m obsessed with a $600 coat and I’m like Oh, I could just put it on the credit card…DON’T DO IT, DON’T DO IT!!! Ahh, the internal struggle!
Happy Holidays, Ashley!
