crazy cat lady in training

Jeans, Purse & Vest- Thrifted; Heels- Aldo; Bracelets & Earrings- Roadtrip; Glasses-Gucci
It's not everyday you see a crazy cat lady in training walking her ginger kitty on a leash wearing leopard print stilettos and Gucci glasses...but today I gave my neighbours that privilege! I've talked about my love for cats in previous posts (like here and here) but today I took that love to a whole new level by taking Marley for a walk.  He hated the leash and spent the whole time either trying to bite off the leash or rolling around, so really not much walking was involved.


My best friend brought me back this plaque from New Jersey which I proudly display in my front hall, next to a portion of my shoe collection.



Since Marley wasn't being a cooperative model I moved to my condo courtyard.  I rarely wear jeans and only own 5 pairs (which is a fraction of how many dresses I own!) but today was one of those days that begged for the effortless nature of jeans.  I scored this army inspired vest at my local thrift store for only $4.99 with the tags still on (don't you just love when that happens!) and I can't wait to remix it into my Autumn wardrobe!





So next time you take your dog, cat or pig (which is my future dream!) for a stroll, replace those sneakers with stilettos and see how fun walking can truly be! :)

    Awesome! I also take my two cats out on their leashes (they took to the leash pretty well) so this is just perfect for me...not to mention it involves my favorite thing in the world, leopard print!!!!

    hehe, I like the first part a lot and that's so funny with your cat on the leash. i don't think I've seen that before. Your outfit is so chic and the leopard heels are perfect with it. Great post

    When I was growing up, we used to take our cat outside on a leash too--and we did get some funny looks :) Anyway, I love that vest you found, and it looks great with the jeans and leopard!!

    I'm pretty sure no cat will walk on a leash, they are just too independent for that kind of thing.
    But I love your leopard pumps - gorgeous!

    Chic on the Cheap

    You're crazy girl!! Walking with stilettos is not my idea of fun for sure! How can you do it? I really love this outfit!! Very chic indeed! And the glasses are absolutely fantastic! Kisses :)

    p.s. - Your kitty is adorable

    love your animal print heels~ walking your cat takes some time to train i'm sure... maybe use one of those toys on a stick to lure him around?

    This is my absolute favorite look on you. You look amazing and sophisticated and gorgeous. And you bought it all at a thrift store? Incredible. Really. You should wear jeans more often. FIVE pair? Seriously. I'm embarrassed to say how many I own. Yikes.

    OH, and the nail polish is great. AND I love your cat and I giggled when you talked about how he hated the leash.

    You're a crazy cat lady--own it! I've seen videos of people walking (or attempting to walk) their cats.

    I love the color of your vest. That will look so pretty with some fall boots.

    You are so stinkin' adorable. I've considered walking my cat. I'm just not cool enough to do it. :)

    AND you look gorgeous at the same time! I love it!

    You look great, but you know you'll never see me in stilettos! Marley's honourary cat cousins here in Nova Scotia suggest ripping the lead out of your hand and tying you up with it, then escaping.

One of my daily joys is reading the lovely comments you leave. It may take a day or two (or three, depending on how hectic life gets!) but I will stop by your slice of the blogosphere soon! xo Emily
