For me, this shot is all about wearing color in a bland colorless city.
Look how she explodes out of the background griege of it all.
Again I don’t really think this is about these specific clothes but about the idea of color in a black and white world.

The yellow jacket with that green bangle gets my vote. I'm still learning about leopard, but this lady wears it with a smile and confidence. I love the movement in this shot, too.

Overall she's got style and confidence, but her top makes her look very wide at the waist. Great hair and coat, though!

As you have pointed out the great juxtaposition between her colorful, printed outfit, against the "greige" as you so aptly put it – of the city behind, I am also finding endearing the contrast on your blog of current streetwear/photography/fashion, and also the vintage/style/photos..
Loving it!

I love the balance between the green bangle on one arm and then (diagonally down) the green lamppost you can just see under her other arm….I hope that is a lucky coincidence, or you are an even better photographer than I thought!

I don't really like leopard, but that yellow coat is amazing! I hate it when people wear all black or grey when spring is just arriving, it's like disrespecting the sun for finally returning after those cold months.

Maybe in Paris leopard doesn't mean "Cougar." I love how she matches those shoes (who has STRAPPY leopard heels?) yet she knows that the splash of green totally set off the outfit.

The leopard print on its own would have been obnoxious but ironically, the bold yellow jacket tones down the print. Again, this isn't about the clothes, but the bright uplifting colors against the drab clothed commons amidst the cold shadows.
