Kitty Cat

Today I got a package in the post from the lovely people at Pussycatlondon! (I would have gotten it sooner if DHL hadn't messed up) Like everyone, I got very excited and proceeded to rip off the packaging and run upstairs to try it on.


Dress courtesy of Pussycatlondon, ring; Forever 21, Bracelet; Vintage Sarah Coventry, Shoes; Irregular Choice (another high street brand I love)


The color is so beautiful, and I'm definitely a girl who appreciates texture, cut and color rather than print, so this dress is perfect for me as it is an outstanding example of that. It's also an outstanding example of how good the high street can be. It can adjusted in many ways, so I'll get a lot of wear out of it.
I plan on taking it to a gorgeous garden sometime next week to get some better photos, but I wanted to upload a quick one right now because I love it so much.

Thank you so much Pussycatlondon!


(oh, and as you can see the dye didn't work. It will require bleaching, which I will do sometime but not right now.)

LOVE

(Sorry for the very inventive title)

Love is the only word I can use to describe my (one sided) relationship with Pussycatlondon. They are the sole reason I ever take a trip into the catastrophe which is New Look (other than Stargazer and Giles Deacon, but we'll get to that later). I am not the kind of person who favours dresses- I love layering and separates are much easier for that. But their dresses are my ultimate go-to pieces. When I've taken everything out of my wardrobe, tried it on, and then thrown it down in a sulk, I resort to my favourite combination- boots, leather jacket, Pussycatlondon dress. I especially love their two piece dresses, because they are just so versatile and can change the appearance of any look (usually for the better).

So here are the pieces I am really, really tempted to buy and I am going to have to buy at some stage. I'm sort of stuck in my second hand shop pricing mode, so this is going to be a real splash out.



I've never been a fan of coral but the cut of this dress sold me. It's practically impossible to find clothes with a somewhat unusual cut on the high street but not completely impossible. This nails the semi-trend of dresses that are long in the back and short in the front without being overtly noticeable.



I rarely do prints, but once again, the cut is the reason I love this dress so much. I have one with a similar cut, and it is beyond flattering. Plus, I do like the color of this print. The lilac-y grey hue is beautiful and would look good on almost anyone.




I only own two blouses- one a basic, over sized white blouse and the other a McQueen ruffled, plaid blouse. Both are worn a lot and although I don't wear a lot of black, I prefer this one to the cream one they also have in stock. I like how it's sheer without being so sheer that you have to show your underwear. Plus I love ruffles. I want to wear this with my vintage cut offs, Stuart Weitzman booties and over sized Forever 21 ring right now. Plus it's only 15 pounds.





I honestly never thought I would be attracted to leopard print. It's just not me. But anyone who reads my blog knows I have an unhealthy obsession with white dresses, so when you put a beautiful, floaty, sheer white dress over top a snow leopard print, I'm sold. And as I said before I love their 2-in-1 pieces so I may have to invest in this.

Now I'm off to spend some of my well earned cash while I rarely have it in my pocket!
