Cat Lady...Meow

Edgy, risky, possibly something you've seen your great-aunt wear...yes, the animal shirt.

I've been contemplating buying one for a while now. Anyone who knows me knows my love for kittens and cats. My boyfriend sends me pictures of them on a daily basis. It's probably in my destiny to become a cat lady, and I'm okay with that. So it seems fitting for me to own a cat shirt. I've not taken the leap yet, mostly because I'm worried about being able to pull it off and instead looking like a granny. So tell me: should I take the plunge? Would you dare to wear an animal shirt (wolf, cat, horse, etc)?

Fall Picks - The Skater Skirt



All I've wanted recently is one of these skirts. Bright, neutral, solid, printed, I don't even care. Some of my favorites that I've found are above however. I've been having difficulty finding one that is the length I want, but I know that if it's meant to be, I'll find it. Of all the styles I've seen, I really prefer to above-knee or mid-thigh length. The shorter mini ones remind me too much of Sailor Moon (anyone else remember that?) and anything longer is too matronly. The mid-length styles really offer the most versatility as well. Tights could be layered in for the cooler seasons, but they are just as easily worn without them. Not to mention that it is a flattering silhouette on almost any figure. Don't believe me? I challenge you to go try one on. Seriously, go do it. I bet you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The same goes for shoes options with these bad boys. I've become addicted to the thought of these with a pair of oxfords, possibly a pair of cute little ballet flats, although I've never really been into those. I have been contemplating buying a simple little black or neutral pair for outfits I don't really have a perfect pair of shoes for. I've included a compilation of oxfords and flats for your viewing pleasure as well.

What do you think of the skirt style? Do you have one and how do you wear it? As well, do you have any shoe preference when you wear it or have you imagined a completely different perfect pairing?
