The Cats Meow

Blazer: JCrew Factory; Sweater and Top: Gap; Shoes: JCrew (similar); Purse: Marc Jacobs; Bracelet: JCrew Factory; Watch: Michael Kors; Sunglasses: similar here
I haven't been a cat person up until about six months ago.  I think LOL Cats made them cool. Suddenly, I don't see them as necessarily weird, but funny.  Ok, still weird.  No 'fense cat lovers.  I've just always been a dog person.  I think it may go back to the grudge I hold on the stray I picked up as a little girl that scratched me and infected me with ring worm.  Or the catA couple of months ago, I got the idea in my head that I really needed a persian kitty.  Just because they are disgustingly cute, and have silly faces that look grumpy all of the time.  I think I would get a real kick out of one.  But, I digress. Because this Katie-Cat can't have a kitty.  Momentarily.  Maybe one day.  So, now, I just dream about petting them (really, I had a dream last night) and, I pick up little cat details like this fitted boyfriend cat print shirt from the Gap.  I'm no cat lady (yet), but cats are a little bit of happiness.

I like the mix of patterns. :)

I'm a cat person - they are quiet and clean and independent. I'm too selfish to have to take a dog outside multiple times through the day!

Have you seen the "dog friend vs. cat friend" video? If not, YouTube it now!! So hilarious.

I'm a total cat person! Always have been and always will be! I'm allergic to them and still have 2.. yeah, that's how much I love them :) And I LOVE this top.. I totally need this! You look gorgeous as always.

Great outfit, I love how you mixed stripes with a pattern, I still haven't had the balls to do that lol. Going to soon, I swear. Also, I am not a cat person either. They scare me and creep me out.

I'm an aspiring crazy cat lady (but I only have 1 cat so far), so I'm loving this nod to our feline friends. Cats are the best. You look adorable (thanks in part to the kitties)!

Well I am a full blown cat lady and I LOVE this! I don't think anyone is a cat person until they own one and then all the sudden they totally get it. It's what happened to me!

LOVE your outfit. I just had to say that first. It's so pretty!

I'm am a dog person. I have never really gotten cats. I have seen a few that are incredibly gorgeous and cute and the idea to own one has crossed my mind but I feel like they are devious little buggers. I feel like dogs are very "open about their moods and feelings" but cats just seem sneaky. There is a cat that comes around at night and I swear he just comes to annoy my Buddy. lol

My roommate will be obsessed with this outfit! She's been convinced that she'll grow up to be the ultimate cat lady :) Also, the title cracks me up because we kept on thinking that the phrase was "the cat's pajamas" and not "the cat's meow" haha

Kelly said...

I've been watching this shirt for a few weeks now. Being a cat lady, I really really want it. really.

Chelsea Oliver said...

LOVE this look! I'm obsessed with pattern mixing. And I understand your "cat dilemma" I just got a kitten in the summer, but until then, hated cats. But it's so hard not to love something so cute, and so grumpy at the same time!
