3 Ways to Wear Leopard Print Shorts

A friend of mine was visiting Miami a few weeks ago and we had a conversation about "how long has it been since you shopped for non-work clothes?" and the answer for both of us was "a really long time." Although now we're in our mid 20's and work seems to dominate our lives (we are there 5 out of the 7 days a week, of course) we have to remember that we do have nighttimes and weekends to relax, have fun, and wear whatever the heck we want. I went to Forever 21 this weekend to return the black pair of these shoes. (Side note: in the 15 minute car ride from my apartment to the store, the black shoes scratched and revealed tan scratch marks.. the marks were very obvious, so beware of buying the black version of these shoes. The nude, on the other hand, scratch nude, so they aren't as noticeable.) Of course Forever 21's return policy is store credit, so I shopped around and decided, for the first time in a long time, to buy some trendy, fun, non-work clothes. I ended up with these silky, pajama-like, leopard print shorts in the dressing room. I really liked the fit and decided to get them for only $15.80. When I got home, I decided to see if I could put together a few outfits to convince me to keep such a trendy item. After I put together 3 outfits for different occasions, I decided to keep them. I'd like to pair some more color with them in the future, but for now, blacks and shades of brown are good enough for me. How would you style leopard print shorts? If you work, do you find yourself buying mostly work clothes or "play" clothes too?
