When? October 10, 2012
What for? Typical workday at the library, which included teaching, hence the flats. With me getting into work early all week, and my husband teaching night classes a couple of nights a week, it’s been challenging trying to figure out our work schedules (and fitting in daily photos). Thank you, sweetie, for being my personal cameraman… it’s sooooo appreciated. ♥
And today, you get an early-morning shot of me against our living room bookshelves. We live in a vintage building, so the lighting in our small apartment is, shall we say, not so great for photographs. So lots of flash and shadows, sorry.
On the plus side, woo-hoo for cats! I am a cat lady, both personally (with two lovely cats adopted back in 2002) and sartorially, with this adorable cat-print dress. I picked this dress up overseas a few years ago, and it actually comes with the light tan belt seen here. I don’t usually wear the dress with its accompanying belt, but I do like that this dress looks good with either brown or black accessories. It’s a very fall-appropriate color palette — and a fun choice to pay homage to upcoming Halloween!

I love that dress!! I’m a cat lady myself, so I’d be all over that!
I know, it’s such a cute print! Sometimes, I picture the cats chilling out on the moon, or maybe on a pumpkin.
cute dress =)
Thanks, Monica!
The dress is quite flattering on you! At first I thought it was an apple print and we were going to see some pics of your kitties
That alternate scenario would also have been cute. And thanks, the fabric (a thicker, stretchy cotton) and the cut (fit and flare) are quite forgiving.
That is a fabulous dress. The cut is so flattering on you and that print is just adorable!
Thanks so much, Gracey, you’re so sweet!
Um, you know I’m a cat lady. You are right on trend with this adorable dress. I love your library behind too. Pics look great…lighting is good. Meow and you look super slim. dawn suitcase vignettes.
Cat ladies unite!
It’s funny how on-trend this dress is, even though I got it’s definitely not new. Style is so cyclical!
