I had a traumatic time recently when someone I work with casually revealed they didn't realise I liked cats. It felt like a slap in the face. Everything I thought I knew about myself was called into question... Have I not brandished my cat oyster card holder enough? Worn my kitty knits enough? Spammed Roxy pics enough?
Of course I'm not THAT self absorbed that I think everyone should know about my obsessions, but either way, just to prevent any future doubt, I decided it was time to up the cat ante in a way everyone would notice... Out came the eBay cat shirt!
Tee - eBay
Skirt - New Look
Shoes - Sarenza* (only available in black now)
A close up of my geekgasmic little flats from Sarenza. They're mega comfy and get bonus nostalgic points because they look like what I wore when I was 3.
So yeah anyway, I'm Gem and I like cats. Don't forget it or I will be forced to walk about with Roxy on a lead at all times like a weirdo. Singing my anthem.
I'm off to make pancakes now! Even though I spent SIX ENGLISH POUNDS on not one but two trips to the crepe stand near my office. It's clear something is definitely wrong with the 'managing food impulses' part of my brain. But anyway I'm gonna go eat more pancakes to numb the pain, byeeeee :D
Happy pancake day, hope yours has been a cheaper one than mine! xo


I haven't had any pancakes yet - terrible! You look like a beaut! xxx

Haha, I love this outfit so much, your cat top is so cute! It's always a shock when someone says they don't they like cats - what's not to love! I didn't even get to have any pancakes today, so sad :(

Haha it would make me sad too if people did not know I loved cats! And don't worry you are not the only pancake over-buyer, I spent 4.50 on maple syrup?!?

Ha ha, this is exactly like me but with rabbits! If something's got a rabbit on, it be a purse or t shirt, I have to buy it. It's like my badge of honour. Or something. lol

ReplyDeleteI hope your friend from work now realises your love of cats now XD xx
Super cute outfit! x
ReplyDeleteThat's the first high/low skirt I've seen that I really like and you look amazing in it!
ReplyDeleteI don't understand people who don't like cats. Don't really understand people who don't like dogs either. PFFT. This tee is still one of my fave things ever and love it with the cut out shoes <3 x
ReplyDeleteLOVE those eBay beauties.. might just have to get one!
ReplyDeleteRosie x
You do love a cat! More of a dog person myself, but being swayed by the fluffy bad boys thanks to some cute kittens that live next door.
ReplyDeleteLove those shoes with socks, very cute.

It is important to constantly remind people how awesome cats are, otherwise they forget, and they might think you prefer dogs *shudder*.

Made me laugh that in rebuttal you wore the most 'I really love cats okay' top!

Haha I love this post!! I get this with my love of sharks, when people come to tell me about some shark news or link me to shark products they think I like I was to scream "HELLO! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!???" Of course I've already drooled over that shark sleeping bag for a year or watched that new YouTube clip ten times. Don't be under-estimating my obsession! Then I remember they're just being nice and to react like that might make myself look just a tad crazy. ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the kitty tee, that'll show em!!
