If you think the winter season is made for burying yourself under layers of cozy sweaters only, model Brooks Nader is here to prove you wrong. While the chillier months certainly call for warm outerwear, there’s nothing quite like animal print to brighten up those dreary winter days.

The 28-year-old Baton Rouge native made a case for incorporating trendy animal print into your January wardrobe in a new Instagram carousel posted to the platform on Sunday. In the first slide of her photo dump, Nader was pictured in a snakeskin Dolce & Gabbana dress with a cropped jacket over top. She wore a pair of oversized sunglasses on her face as she held one hand to her hip and stuck a pose for the camera.

In addition to the outfit, which was styled by Emily Lafitte Wolanin, other pics in the post featured snapshots alongside celebs like Paris Hilton, Kate Hudson and Madelyn Cline. She also humorously highlighted a home decor faux pas she experienced recently, in which a chandelier Nader installed in her home came crashing down. She memorialized the artsy piece of decor by showing it hanging from her ceiling before its demise, along with screenshots of FaceTime calls with her parents after it was ruined.

“I’m gonna swing from the chandelier 🥲,” Nader quipped in her caption, while tagging her location in Beverly Hills.

“You’re that girl 😍,” one of the model’s 1.8 million followers commented.

“PERFECT HONEY,” someone else added.
