Crazy cat lady

Paisley makes me think of two things: fortune tellers and crazy cat ladies. They both have an imagery that inspire me. Fortune tellers of course go with my carnivale/funfair obsession and crazy cat lady, well... it speaks for itself - granny outfits, clumsy layering and over the top twee accessories, three things often found in my daily outfits. So maybe if I had to pinpoint my style, I could say "crazy cat lady".
Below is my latest experimentation of the genre, inspired by my paisley skirt from one of my favourite Etsy sellers, Clever Nettle.

  2. I agree with Marion, your hair looks totally fab!

    I've never really worn much paisley, which is odd considering I aspire to be a crazy cat lady! (I have the mentality already, just not the cat, damn landlords!)

  8. It looks so great on you! I like how you paired it with more neutral colors but there's so much cute stuff going on in the details. :)

    I also have to chime in on your braid, love it! Crazy cat lady style works for you very well.

  9. "my paisley skirt" sounds like a rocking name for a fashion blog :)

    And yes, love your hair, too. A tute, perhaps? :)

    I really like the pictures and headings on your blog. It looks lovely. But your type is so small, and difficult to read that I'm not going to invest my time in reading it.

    It's unfortunate because I really do think I'd love it!

  16. Anon - Thanks. I have just tried to make the font bigger, it would help if you could let me know what system your were on/what browser so I can fix the font size. It looks fine on my computer/browser so I wouldn't know.

  17. Anon - Actually no need to tell me what system you are browsing on, I now found out through my stats and fixed the font size for Safari, so it should be bigger.
