Glamour Cat / Prim Kitty


When the Jason Wu for Target line came out, I immediatley gravitated to this kitty tee. I know the cat is supposed to be Milu - a mischievous cat that inspired the line. However, it also closely resembles Winston - another mischievous cat that wreaks havoc (and snuggles) around my apartment.

I was out of town the day of the Jason Wu release, and, if you've ever tried to order online from Target's special collections, you know what a mess that can be (Missoni debacle, anyone?). So I resigned myself to a depressing closet with no Winston tee (melodrama alert!). But! The Well Appointed Catwalk managed to snatch up the tee for a giveaway...and I won! I've been wearing the shirt non-stop - I think it works with a prim skirt and kitten (no pun intended) heels as well as a rocker jacket and cuffed jeans.

Scroll down to see Winston and judge the resemblance for yourself!

P.S. Why don't you join me for cocktails, cupcakes and chatting about fashion? I'll be at Lord and Taylor on Boylston Street on Thursday, May 31st from 5:30-8:30pm for a Fashion Blogger Style-Off, sponsored by Keds and Lord and Taylor!  We'll be styling outfits inspired by Keds fun new designs - it's going to be a blast...see you there!

    I believe we might just need to find a red bow collar for Winston!

    1. A bow on Winston would last all of 3.45 seconds before he pulled it off and started running around the apartment with it hanging from his mouth...

    I agree that a red bow would be adorable, but I can see how it's not practical. The cat on your shirt looks like your Winston - congrats on winning it! Serendipitious!

    I so wish I was in Boston on the 31st. The event at Lord and Taylor sounds great.

    So lucky you snagged that top! That kitten pattern was my favorite of the collection I think. Love all of the different ways you styled it too.

    Stay in the Lines

  9. OMG I MISS WINSTON! He really does look like Milu. I'm still waiting on Winston's web series "Is this a food?"

    Wish I could make your Keds event; I'm (finally) starting to warm up to sneakers.

    1. I only need your help to make "ITAF" a reality. We should pitch it to Powderhouse productions - they are here in MA and make a lot of the Animal Planet shows!!!

      In other adorable Winston news, we have roofers working on the building next door. Winston is TERRIFIED of them. He skulks around on the floor, walking like a lizard (as low to the ground as he can get, ears all flat on his head)...I keep holding him and telling him it's OK, the work men can't hurt such a brave kitty - but he's not buying it.
