Can grown women wear cats?

Young looking size 8 woman, 33, would like advice on whether she can wear cats, or will she just look like an overgrown toddler?

The model manages to look quite cute and kooky, or maybe it's just weird?

Save me from myself?

Loos like something designed by Timmy Mallett. Why?

Ok.

Points taken. No cats.

I wear my cat most of the time, too. He's a black tom so it goes with anything.

As for cat print, 33 is young, and if it's an expression of who you are (ie, if you're the kind of person who would generally wear such things) it won't look out of place.
A little trick of mine (I'm 38): if I see something whimsical or totally youngish but still really want to possess it for myself, I will excuse the purchase by buying it for wearing only around the house, or for bed, etc. I have large rabbit eared slippers, cute print tees for bedtime and very silly girly mini skirts for when I'm doing the housework in hot weather.

lol toasted
I have a long sleeved top with a small cat on the sleeve, I love it, am 36

I think its the style rather than the cats that's the issue, those shorts really wouldn't suit anyone...

I wore cats (albeit leopards) on Saturday, wore the blouse with coated black jeans, high black shoe boots and a leather jacket, I think it worked for a 38 year old.

Love that Zara shirt, Karbea!

Erm ...I hvae this but in the shirt dress thingy. I wear it loads, love it. Looks v grown up IMO because the cut of the shirt/dress is ace.. Wouldnt wear the shorts tho the cut is naff

Dare I say it...I quite like the shorts! The cats are barely noticable, except to small kids, right?

Anyway, I'm glad to see the thread title refers to cat prints on clothes. The thread title had me immediately thinking of this irrationally annoying woman (in her thirties) who lives somewhere around here, who walks around wearing cat ears (on a hairband thingy) and a cat tail attached to her clothes!!! Every day! And the tail drags along the filthy city pavements! Oh, I can't explain why but it really, really winds me up Blush
