In the Mood for Being Purrrfect

.

It is no secret that I am obsessed with cats. Those little fuzzy creatures play with the string of my heart with every move and sound they make... Ok, that was a bit too romantic and dramatic. I am not a crazy cat lady like this lady on eHarmony.

However, as a cat whisperer who runs a fashion blog, of course it is only natural for me to own one or a couple pieces of clothing with cat images. While I'm in love with the pattern of this dress, it took me some time to figure out how to wear it. The dress itself is shapeless (no waist-line), and it is completely see-through.

The first thing I always try with shapeless dresses is adding a belt to it, so it doesn't look like a potato sack on me. Jen, also being on the petite side, used the same technique to wear a red dress on NYE. Choose the belt's thickness and color based on the dress and the shoes you plan to wear. Accessories make an outfit complete. 

There are two ways I wear a sheer dress outside the bedroom. The more modest way is to layer a sheer piece on top of a nude tank-top. However, if you feel comfortable, and the occasion allows, you can turn up your sexiness by wearing a simple bra (no excessive embroidery or decoration, not too padded) inside.

Thanks Annie for taking the photos and her cat Mimi (check out Mimi's "manicure"!) for being so cooperative during the shoot!
