Welcome to the monthly edition of Match Made in Seven! We are an international group of fashion bloggers who meet once a month. One of us chooses a theme in turn, and that can be anything: a book, music, a color, a movie… and then we style an outfit based on that theme. This month I got to choose the theme of “How We Wear Animal Motifs” – something I have no shortage of!
When it comes to animal motifs and prints, I can’t get enough. Whether it’s foxes, badgers, cats or birds, I love them all…even bugs! For today’s outfit though, I’m giving Mr Badger another outing (you can see how I’ve styled this jumper before further down). I absolutely love badgers, but sadly not everyone does; there is currently another cull in many areas of the UK, including my county of Cheshire. It was because of the cull two years ago that I became vegan.
One of the highlights of last year was going to a badger watch to meet Mr Lumpy and Friends. Getting so close to them while they scoffed nuts, raisins and grapes was a magical experience. I’m wearing a Mr Lumpy badge on my jumper to support my stripey friends 🙂
For an extra dose of animal magic, I’ve added my velvet cat bag and a delicate elephant ring. The trousers are part of a suit that I bought from River Island earlier this year. I previously teamed it with a T-shirt and red crossbody bag.

You have a lot of animal motifs! Love the badger sweater. We always see a lot of dead ones down the road in the UK. My hart brakes when we see that. We hardly have them in the Netherlands. This was a fun theme, although I had only one motif!
WoW… you do own a lot of Animal prints and printed shirts! And I love it!
Emma this theme is a home run for you 🙂 I am in love with every animal jumper you wear. You look amazing!

You look great and like a sexy fox! Have a great day, dear Emma!
You look fantastic, Emma! I love the badger graphic on your jumper – I have a very similar one with a fox-face on it. Aw, why would anyone cull badgers?
I love the mixing of the patterned/textured suit pants with this pattern – it’s a nice change from a solid.
Thanks so much for visiting my blog. 🙂
When I saw the words animal motif, I obviously had to think of leopard or snake print, so your outfit was a total and very pleasant surprise. Such a brilliant combination with those very covetable trousers. Your other outfits are gorgeous and funky too, but my heart belongs to that first one! xxx
Such a cute look. Love the sweater!
