Dress for Less: Fun with Faux Fur & Felines

I feel like I haven't done an unrequested Dress for Less in AGES! I decided to do one with two of the new fall trends, fur and animal prints (leopard mostly)!  Since its fall and there are more pieces involved with outfits its going to be hard to stay with my usual $100 limit, but I was pretty close ;)

The fur/leopard piece I chose is a bit expensive, but the rest of the outfit is simple to off-set the wildness of it.  Does anyone else think snood is a funny word, it makes me giggle every time I hear it (and it reminds me of White Christmas "what did you do with it, leave it in your snood?", love that movie). Back on topic...here's the look!
Leopard Snood: ASOS $30.33
Jumper: ASOS $37.74
Trouser Leggings: ASOS $13.48
Boots: Alloy $14.99
TOTAL: $96.64
For you size 1's:
Black Trousers: Alloy $14.99
cheaper sweater:
Sweater: Alloy $14.99

    I have to admit I kind of hate leopard print, but I'll make an exception for that snood (hehe). It's so warm and furry, but obviously enough fake to make it ok to wear it!

    Snood makes me think of the computer game Snood. Which is highly addictive. I do and also do not recommend you check it out :)

    Did you try to exchange it for store credit or a different item from the store? They give you a hard time for credit, but not if you are just swapping for some other piece of clothing in the store (at least from my experience).
