PHOTOSThe Curve Report: Denise Caldwell Teaches You How to Wow in Animal Print!
Jan. 28 2015, Updated 2:11 p.m. ET
Curvinistas! I love an animal print moment! It’s a classic staple that is timeless and always on trend. Take a walk on the wild side for fall with my suggestions. I have carefully selected an array of animal prints from tiger, leopard, cheetah, and a little zebra mixed in.
The six categories are distinctive, but will fit your personality, figure, and ever-changing style. I determinedly considered new designers that speak to YOU and the trend. Enjoy!
See you next Friday my Curvinistas! Or in a fitting room near YOU!

My Curvy Footnote
My Curvy Footnote:
While web-gazing for fab feline clothing, I couldn’t help but think of sex-kitten eyes! I am newly-obsessed and reunited with Maybelline’s mascara. I am a certified make-up junkie, and I can spend over ten minutes alone applying mascara. My trick? I double between Falsies Big Eyes and Mega Plush. Both have cut my application time in half and also produce eye-gazing results. Seductive stare? Yes. False lashes? No!
