I had a request a while back for a post on the top 5 (or 10 or whatever) things every woman should have in her closet. I never did it because I felt like those lists have been done over and over and most of them are the same (classic trench! black pumps! earth shattering ideas!).
But the other day when I wore the Cole Haan leopard loafers I bought last summer, I started thinking about how glad I was I got them because I’ve worn them so many times over the past year.
Most “must have” lists probably don’t include leopard loafers, but they’ve nonetheless been a staple for me! Basics are great and all, but I for one think it’s those unique, unexpected pieces that will make you stand out and look awesome every time you wear them.
So I’m officially starting the Sarah’s Wardrobe Workhorse series, and leopard loafers are first on the list! If you have an inkling to add some to your closet, I have some great options for you below.

The other day I was wearing an exceptionally cute outfit and had many compliments. One person said that it looked like I had been watching those shows that tell you what not to wear and I was the example of what to wear. I said, “No, I just listen to my Sarah and read her blog”.
I’m so proud 🙂
I miss mine. I had some from Target and my Husband left them on the porch….And then it rained fpr 4 days. I need to get some more!

I definitely wear leopard as a neutral. They truly go with everything! Plaid, polka dots, every single color in world… you name it!! Great post!

My friend would be so proud to know that cheetah print loafers are considered a staple! She had a great pair, one that I was a little skeptical about since it makes such a bold statement. She always lectured me to get my own pair. I never really understood her point till now- I love how you paired your loafers with all your outfits. It’s done in such a classy way, I’m especially loving outfit #3! Thanks for the style inspiration!
Oh gosh, I definitely meant leopard- haha oops!
YES! Leopard is one of my favorite neutrals to play around with. I love those Steve Madden d’Orsay flats you posted…so chic – and perfect for work AND fun (which makes them the ultimate rational purchase, am I right?!)
Agreed 🙂 I kind of want them myself. I mean mine will wear out eventually, right? I need a backup!
I love leopard loafers! I just bought a new pair from Forever 21 for a great deal!
