Where I wore it: To the Propelle Style Summit
Saturday was a particularly run-around-type of day. After a busy week, and knowing I had a busy weekend ahead, I woke up early and got out of the house to enjoy the morning before I had to be at the Propelle Style Summit. I grabbed a coffee and headed off in the direction of a favorite thrift shop, you could say I was cutting it close time-wise, but I call it research. Once I returned home, I threw this outfit together, and was off again, this time to set up my table and get ready to speak about thrift shopping at the Summit. Everything would have gone perfectly, had I not hit traffic!
I can't say completely that this outfit was serendipitous, once I bought this skirt from Annie I was on the lookout for a light pink top, and this one from Allen Company fit the bill. But, really, let's talk about this skirt. Because it's covered in cats. The cats from Lady & the Tramp to be exact. As soon as it was listed, I pounced (harhar).
And speaking of cats, I'm running out the door to bring mine to the vet! I'll have more pictures from the Propelle event later this week, along with some thrifting tips!
EDIT: In my haste to run out the door this morning, I forgot to provide the story behind this skirt, which Annie posted in the item description: This skirt was manufactured as a kit after the release of Lady & The Tramp in the 50’s. Consumer’s could purchase the kit, and assemble the skirt themselves. Two versions were offered, one featuring Lady & The Tramp, and the other (this one) featuring the two Siamese cats, Si and Am. I prefer the cats.

That cat skirt is gorgeous, and it is lovely to have a piece of clothing with a story behind it. Hope your own kitty is ok xo
When I was a kid, those cats were my favorite cartoon characters. I knew the Siamese song from the movie by heart and used to sing it all the time. Man, I'm so jealous, hah :)
gawk! (that's a good noise) Love this outfit. You look so beautiful!
that skirt is incredible!

there were so many fun DIY kits in the 50s and 60s.... i have a few purses that were homemade crochet from kits, and there were ones you could make with old telephone cords. i see a re-invigoration to the market!
looks purrrrr-fect on you.... (so bad, but soo good!)

I love this outfit! You find such great sweaters! I have such a hard time finding sweaters that fit like yours because I have a larger chest. Inspiration to go thrifting!

I just stumbled across your blog (via a mention on Stylish White Female.) I've been enjoying thumbing through it but when I saw this skirt I just had to comment. As a fellow cat lover It goes without saying that I like about anything with a feline theme However I've got 1 Siamese curled up in the nook of my arm and another Siamese draped across my legs so a Si and Am skirt screams adorable to me!
BTW I gather you are fairly new to da 'burgh. Let me say welcome and I hope you are falling in love with the city the way I did. I came here on a 9 month consulting job a number of years ago and never left. I bounced all around the eastern half of the country but once I landed here I knew I'd finally found home.
Ghostie: Thank you so much for your sweet comment and warm welcome! We've been in Pittsburgh for a little over a year and are really starting to find our place here, glad to hear you love it!
what a cute skirt. :)
i so like it!
