Introductions and a cat-themed OOTD!

(ok, not gonna lie, I just really wanted to use that pixel... ;p)

Hello everyone! I go by Sylvie, and this is my first time seriously running a blog that isn't just a silly Tumblr. Lately I've been really into fashion, so it came to mind that I should make a serious blog here to show off my outfits and also to review any cool things I may buy. This place is the result of that - I hope my graphic design skills are good enough for you guys! c:

A little bit about me before I start ranting about today's outfit: I'm 19 years old and currently attending university, hoping to get a major in English Education. If I change my mind (and major!) it'll likely be to psychology or sociology, two topics I also really enjoy. My other interests include pop culture, street fashion (especially Asian street fashion), writing, art, toys, anime/manga, bad video games, and of course, CATS!

Speaking of awkward lead-ins to actual content, my outfit is feline-themed today!

(I'm still getting used to taking pictures of myself with my camera, not to mention editing them, so excuse any mistakes and feel free to comment with suggestions!)

My outfit today is actually completely made of thrift finds - I got the dress from a Goodwill for $3 in November, and the purse and necklace were gifts from a friend that she found at a garage sale.

(Close up of the purse; there was a padded heart on his collar, but it fell off, so I put a sticker for now. This is the purse I usually carry around nowadays, so it sees some wear for sure.)

Usually, I'm not near so conservative with colors; I love wearing lavenders, pinks, aquas and other light but certainly eye-popping colors. This is a very neutral compared to my usual style... but it's also got cats, so it's still very "me."

(Close-up of necklace; it's super cute! The back is obviously a recycled domino, so this is most likely a hand-made piece.)

While I was messing with the outfit this morning though, it seemed to be missing something. Something more than good shoes (which I am woefully deficient in at the moment.) After some thought, I realized what would have really made this outfit perfect...

(Found here for $7.80 with free shipping from China included)

That may or may not be on my to-buy list next time I decide to treat myself. I mean, it's a cat sun hat. Who could resist?

Anyway, thank you for reading! Follow/comment/etc and keep an eye out for more cute clothes and fashion! See ya!!
