oh yeah, today is all about my brand new cat print dress! i can’t remember exactly how i discovered leah goren’s totally awesome etsy shop anymore. (i wanna say it was either siri or anja, though i do know i’ve seen both young and liz sporting said dress…) either way, i’ve had my eye on this darling little number for what seems like forever! and last week, i just couldn’t take it anymore and finally placed my order. it was hand printed and hand sewn to order and arrived with a cute little cat zine, too! and of course, i had to throw it on and gratuitously prance around for an outfit post right away. i love that it’s essentially a polka dot dress, thereby making it a perfect neutral to pair with any number of colors, layers, and accessories.
dress: leah goren handmade cat print dress
jacket: bensoni sailor trench coat
shoes: vintage salvatore ferragamo flats
bag: j.w. hulme mini legacy bag

I love everything about this look, especially lusting after those pretty little flats :) x
The dress looks amaaaazing on you Erin! So happy you (and everyone else) love it so much. And vintage Ferragamos are my favorite shoe of all time – I actually have 5 pairs in different colors – so cool to see them with the dress.
Do you mind if I put a link to this post in the etsy dress listing?

hi leah! thank you so much! you can certainly link to this in your listing!
and i’m envious of your ferragamo collection! i’ve been on the hunt for more colors myself!
Omg! What an absolutely wonderful outfit! I am completely completely jealous of your sailor trench coat! I can’t even —- And your dress is whimsical and quirky; it looks perfect on you. :]
This dress is beyond amazing! I love that it is handmade too, beautiful :)
of course, I love any kind of cat print, but this one is truly spectacular! and it looks so good with this trench! <3
LOVE the cat dress, you really have a talent for hunting down the most unique, cute dresses, that I don’t see anywhere else on the blogosphere. And the trench is super adorable too! x
GAHHH that dress is so cute
This dress has been in favs for ages! It’s so awesome.
I’m really tempted for something fungi printed…
suuuuuuuuuuuper cute. this dress is pretty much PERFECT for you, i’d say. i love your simple pairings with it too! total win!
SO CUTE! I love your trenchcoat as well :)
Just when I think I have a favourite outfit of yours you go and pull this amazing one out and my jaw dropped! So so good! I am obsessed with cat-themed clothing and I need this dress now. I also love how many ways you style your Bensoni trench, it’s so versatile yet so quirky. Love.
I really love this dress – adorable!
Just to let you know, I featured this outfit in my favourite outfits of may in my May recap post! http://www.everydayforgotten.co.uk/2011/05/may-recap.html
I love your whole outfit. That dress is so adorable!
That cat print dress is so so cute! I love how quirky and original it is. It looks great with the nautical-ish coat. I really love the collar on that jacket. You look amazing!
When you posted this dress on Tumblr (from the Etsy listing you purchased), I thought it would be scandalously short. But I’m delighted to see it’s the PERFECT length on you! I absolutely adore it and the way you styled it with the sailor cape and Ferragamo flats! God Erin, I love you.
What a cute dress! Glad you took the plunge and scooped it up!
this dress rocks!
cute dress!! I love the print.. :)
holy cats, I’m in love!
after seeing this adorable babydoll dress, you left me no choice, absolutely NO CHOICE but to have to start a serious search of my very own for nothing but this style of frock to wear all. summer. long. i even had to write about this new sartorial quest o’ mine over in my neck of the woods. take a peek?

Oh I have been looking for this post for days, saw it mentioned on another blog but couldn’t remember which one nor who exactly you were but then I woke up this morning and thought ‘calivintage’ and so pleased it was! This is so beautiful and love the inky not-quite-pefect print design, its something I might try on a plain tee depending how DIY-inspired I’m feeling…! Keep up the good work, love the blog :) xx
oh this dress is just adorable and it is so you!! Pairing it with your trench its a purr-fection!!
