Even though it's not quite spring, it doesn't stop any of us from wearing not-so warm outfits once in a while.

The stores are flooded with such tempting and beautiful spring apparel this time of year that a hilow leopard skirt is an irresistible impulse buy. A slightly cropped and fitted top and a fitted black studded denim vest add a bit of edge to the wild leopard skirt. Worn with little black ankle wedges for comfort and to give a bit of a street fashion feel, it can also be worn with black leggings! Complete the look with a gorgeous chunky chain gold necklace and a structured two-toned satchel embellished with flathead studs.

Make sure to bundle up when leaving the house, but once you get to your destination, you get to reveal your awesome outfit!

1. Leopard Skirt: This is a great piece to add a print or excitement into your outfit. Originally intended for a spring or summer wardrobe, the neutral colours of the leopard print work nicely in the fall as well. It has an elastic waistband so it can be worn high-waisted or lower, and it sits comfortably either way. The hi-low silhouette flows nicely on the body, creating a more feminine silhouette. (Forever 21, $28)

2. Cropped Top: This versatile black cropped top looks like a boustier, but it's just a simple cotton cropped top. It can be worn underneath other garments like the vest or with anything high-waisted, as styled in this outfit. (Dynamite, $14)

3. Studded Vest and Black Wedges: An asymmetric black denim vest detailed with exposed zippers and squared studs give the outfit a street casual feel like the black wedged boots. The structure of the vest contrasts the flow of the skirt. (Vest: Forever 21, $35; Wedge booties: Spring, $40)

4. Gold Necklace and Two-Toned Satchel: The chunky gold necklace breaks up the black in the vest and crop top and reinforces the street fashion trend in the outfit. The satchel also carries over the two-toned and stud trend that was so prominent last season. The accent of black on neutral rose creates the perfect canvas for studs to be embellished on the base of the handles. It can be worn mid-arm or the bag comes with a longer strap that extends. (Necklace: Aldo Accessories, $30; Satchel: Aldo Accessories, $50)

This look is inspired by the wild, as seen in the free flow of the skirt and leopard print combined with tough elements like the studs and structure of the vest and bag. Whether you choose to rebel against the cold weather and wear it now or wait until the spring to rock it, it's the type of outfit that is polished and casual at the same time.
