Do you like this Cat print dress - am I too old for this ? - is very nice on though

[smellylittleorange]

I am 33 and this is dress from Asos (Awear)

cat dress

I've tried it on with my skinny jeans and some dark red round toe heels is v flattering shape wise looks nice but then I have a crisis of confidence - is it just for the young trendy ones It is a little bit "fun" and not very sophis ? I'm worried people may think "mutton" or some such similar in the pub on Friday night?

hmmm I want it now, and i am supposed to not spend money, curse you. mind you £19 with a further 10% is a fairly good deal. oh dear whata conundrum. If it helps I am 38 and I have a fleece that has paw mittens and ears on the hood.

It would be rude not to wouldn't it!!

yousankmybattleship would you think I was a weirdo for wearing then? I dont own any cats btw if I had a pet it would be a Sharpei dog (wonders off to google Sharpei puppy dog print trousers).

Perhaps I should just get over it and not give a frig.

I sing Happy Birthday to my cat and dog ...

I wouldn't think you were a wierdo. It is very pretty, but the print is far too cutesy for my taste and it does make me think of all the other catty noveltiues you can get. We're all different though - plenty of people on here seem to think it's great so I am probably in a minority.

Hmmm. I love a print, and I'd love to hear about a nice cat-print dress at a reasonable price, but I don't think I like this actual print that much ...

From the distance at which the main photo on the ASOS site was taken, it looks like a nondescript 'any old thing' print, then when you get close up something about the colours and design make it look a bit ... cheap.

Sorry.

Having said that, you're not too old (I'm 37 and would absolutely wear a 'cute' print dress) and if you like it and it suits you, buy it and enjoy!

Good grief the model wearing that jacket looks like she's hanging from a hook, she's too thin to stand up.

I'd love that cat dress, but my email address is cat related and my nickname has cats in, my phone screen is a cat and i have 3 real cats, so I would be seen as the crazy cat lady.

oops, dexter I am holding you entirely responsible for that, mind you £17.10 for a dress is a bit bragainous. thanks smelly orange

Mea culpa!

Thanks yousankmybattleship good to know - I do realise it is v much horses for courses. My problem is I am a sucker for cutesy pretty things e.g paperchase is one of my fave shops. I think I will be ok as long as I don't go overboard on the accessories .

I wore this bird print dress all last summer and got lots of comments about how it was very "me". So I guess it must suit my personality

now I want that dress as well, stop it now please

I got that Zara dog blouse last week. I don't care about one step away from Wolef, I love it.

Nice dress, though they look like little bears to me.

I'm jealous thenightsky

I like it. Would say No if it was like £200, but for £19, it's bright & cheery.

dexter73 - get thee to Zara. size comes up small though - had to get a large and I'm normally a medium in Zara.

I don't get why you did the about your bosses dress.
What's wrong with it. I like it very much and I would wear it work.

yeah sorry misuse of emoticon there should have been an [unsure] face which we dont have on MN anyway (MSE?) as in "unsure" if it was that dress was v similar. It is a v nice dress and where I got idea for cat dress from probably - we are v casual in our office which is why I need to start separating work clothes from play clothes not good for the psyche

Blimey smelly you would be no good at my place of work if you need two seperate wardrobes!!
I go to work in jeans, t- shirts, sometimes denim skirts, Reiss and Hobbs dresses, Barbour, The North Face, Miss Selfridge, Acne and Diesel, Top Shop and Nicole Fahri!!!

nice print, dont like shape - it's supposed to be a VB type look, would be better in a straight tunic

The very idea that one is too old at 33 for ANYTHING makes me feel bad.

In fact, I don't think you're ever too old. For anything. Ever.

It always annoys me when prints are unit matches up at seams

iknowwho I am trying to create a seperate wardrobe of stuff I don't wear to work - as I work part time as well there is too much crossover and I have got some lovely clothes ( although not from as lovely places as yours) which have lost their sparkle and attraction (like my lovely polka tea dress) to me as I wear them to boring ole work. Suspect the job may also be a problem but I am working on that too .

missfoodie what is VB [clueless] ?

Am I the only one who thinks it would look odd wearing a dress with skinny jeans?

they are more like jeggings really pinkflipflop I know it does smack of Trinny and Susannah though - just not good at bearing my legs and they don't do nudes in my skin colour maybe opaques?
