fashion staple?

(cat sweater - thrifted | shorts - goodwill? | button up - Burlington Coat Factory | purse - Rainbow Clothing)

*fun fact - the first picture was taken by my best friend's mom & one of the coolest ladies I've ever met... we were in a coffee shop in Brooklyn in April & the second was taken of my french friend, Allie, and I at a theater convention.*

You know that thing... that thing that people have that's just theirs?

The thing people have that kind of sets them apart from everybody else not necessarily because they're wearing it, but how they wear it or the memories that are set inside of the garment? 

Well, Mine is my favorite lovely handy dandy cat sweater.

It's like my favorite thing ever and I wear it a lot. (I'm surprised I don't have that many pictures of me in it.. oh wait, they're all selfies!)
Okay so anyways, whenever I'm in doubt I always find myself going back to the cat sweater, I wore it on the first day of my first internship & everyone told me they loved it and thought it was adorable, I also wore it to New York and these rad twenty-somethings who worked in this secret sushi shop told me that they adored it... so it's kind of become my thing. my mantra basically is "When in doubt, cat sweater it out" .... and it usually works out for me! So, whatever you wear that's lovely and you is well... you and nobody can change that or take it away from you and it just becomes yours... y'know? 
That lovely old cat sweater is mine... now go find yours!
