ON THE PROWL
Old Navy’s Women’s Animal Print Clutch in leopard print is on the pulse of this season’s fashion. Clutches and animal print are big right now. The trick to wearing the print? Minimalism. Carry it with a dark brown or black dress for a night out on the town or pair it with skinny jeans, ballet flats and a blouse during the day. For a bolder statement, add red accessories. Buy it for $16.50 at http://www.oldnavy.com/.
