I was reluctant to buy this shirt because I thought the leopard print might look cheesy in person, but I was very pleasantly surprised when I tried it on! The leopard print layer lays very nicely and is very crisp. There is also a lace edging between the leopard print and black sweater that is much more visible in person vs. the picture - it looks great. The faux-belt only goes half-way around the shirt - I thought this may look silly, but again was pleasantly surprised. I highly recommend!
