At last I've been given a good chance to show off some of my latest acquisitions to my wardrobe: the cat leggings have been my companions all week and I absolutely adore the printed cat faces on the knees. Printed designs have the habit of flaking off, and on the inside of the leggings the Wowch symbol is already tearing apart at the seems, but since I bought the largest size possible I'm certain the knee motifs will stay in tact. I've had the shirt for a few years now but it seems like a match made in heaven for the two screen-printed images to be brought together. The Jelly Beans sandals haven't had a chance to be shown off properly to the world due to poor weather but I love their transparent and pink nature. I don't normally buy something so outlandish and bright, and the frilly socks haven't been properly worn since my youth and childhood but I enjoy this exploration of creativity through dress.
It's fun getting to dress like cat woman without all the leather and spandex as well as the whip-I am in no mood to cater towards some sick man's fantasy at the moment and the printed cats already have an artistic flair and edge about them. Maybe I just like the spiked edge around the word 'ECK' on my shirt and the way it resembles so many comic book action clouds of 'POW' whenever someone takes a hit to the face; as so many comic book villains do.
I first saw these leggings goodness knows how long ago and I really wanted to get a pair for myself, and it seems after I work industriously this weekend I'll be able to afford a pair; although at the moment my mother is egging me on to get myself alaptop to write notes for university with. I don't know how well that will go really since these beauties are on sale and their can't be too many left in their numbers! I know the perfect shoes to wear them with and I'm super psyched to know the identity of these leggings featuring cats on the knees is produced by Wowch!
Being an atypical hipster I would prioritise the cat leggings over the wolves but both are equally fierce; I just happen to favour the single shade colour of the cats rather than the wolves subtle shades of grey as well as yellow eyes. While they have been layered as a staple piece for laying, I know that I would love to wear these with vintage capes as well as parkas and toggle coats when the weather turns cold. Each of the designs for Wowch are printed on American Apparel clothing so you can be assured of their quality, and as mentioned before artists Ann Muddy featured the cat leggings in one of her drawings.
Really love the vibrant backgrounds behind the leggings there, it's sort of mind-bendingly distracting but at the same time very fitting and kinda soothing to see the two wild designs paired up together. Sort of like the perfect marriage and the relief you feel when your best friend finds a nice guy to date.
